Why We're More Expensive
At SKINGRAPHICA, we believe that a tattoo is a lifelong investment in your skin. To match that investment, we have developed a tier of skincare that moves beyond traditional balms and into the realm of high-performance dermocosmetics.
The price of our products reflects the uncompromising quality of what is inside, and outside, the bottle. Here is why SKINGRAPHICA is positioned differently than other brands.
Medical-Grade Active Ingredients
We are the first tattoo skincare brand to utilize advanced "frontier" active ingredients typically reserved for high-end clinical skincare. In many cases, the cost of our raw ingredients alone exceeds the total retail price of standard tattoo aftercare products.
- PRIME. Uses Ectoin (a powerful cell-protector), Ceramides, and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharides to balance the microbiome before the needle even touches the skin.
- LOCK. Features concentrated Centella Asiatica triterpenes (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid) and Squalane to support dermal strength and pigment "lock-in."
- SHIELD & LUME. Utilise Resveratrol and biometric defences to neutralise free radicals and protect the art from environmental aging.
A Hybrid R&D Process
Our formulations aren't just mixed; they are engineered. We use a hybrid design model that combines the expertise of world-class biochemists with a custom-built AI engine. This AI analyzes thousands of clinical trials and ingredient synergies to ensure our products work specifically with the altered physiology of tattooed tissue.
Global Safety & Testing
To ensure your art is safe, we hold ourselves to the strictest global standards. This isn't just about "natural" ingredients—it's about proven, pharmaceutical-grade safety.
- Independent Lab Testing. Conducted in both Australia and the UK.
- Certifications. Manufactured in GMP-standard (Good Manufacturing Practice) facilities.
- Global Registration. Fully registered and compliant with the FDA (USA), AICIS (Australia), and the EU/UK Cosmetic Regulations.
- Ink-Safe™ Testing. Every formula is rigorously tested against leading professional ink brands to ensure no pigment disruption or blurring.
Precision Airless Packaging
Exposure to air, light, and bacteria can degrade active ingredients within days. To prevent this, we use glass double-wall airless packaging.
- Longevity. The airless vacuum system protects sensitive actives from oxidation.
- Hygiene. Unlike open jars where you must dip your hands in (introducing bacteria to a fresh wound), our pump system ensures the product remains sterile.
- UV Protection. The double-wall glass acts as a barrier against sunlight, maintaining the formula's potency from the first pump to the last.
Every detail of SKINGRAPHICA is crafted to ensure that your skin, and your artist's work, receives the highest level of care possible. We don't cut corners because we believe your tattoos deserve more than just "drugstore" solutions.
