Tattoo Sunscreen

Should you put sunscreen on your tattoos?

Yes. UV exposure is the top cause of tattoo fading and blurring. Daily broad-spectrum SPF over healed tattoos keeps the ink crisp and the colors true. Our mineral zinc formula shields without chemical filters.

Is SPF 30 or 50 better for tattoos?

SPF 50 is the safer pick because it blocks slightly more UVB and leaves more margin for under-application. Both our SPF 30 and SPF 50 are broad-spectrum mineral; reach for the SPF 50 Face and Body on long sun days.

How much SPF do you need for tattoos?

Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, apply a generous even layer, and reapply every two hours outdoors. Non-nano zinc oxide sits on top of skin and reflects the UVA and UVB rays that fade ink.

How long until you can put sunscreen on a new tattoo?

Wait until it is fully healed, usually two to four weeks. Keep a new tattoo covered and out of the sun while it heals; once healed, daily SPF is the best way to protect it.

Does sunscreen stop tattoos from fading?

It slows fading dramatically. Sun is what dulls and blurs ink over time, so consistent SPF is the single best thing for keeping tattoos vibrant. Our fragrance-free, water-resistant formula is made for everyday wear on ink.
