Coprinellus disseminatus (Fairy ink cap)

I am so excited to announce a new natural product that I have worked very hard on the past few weeks...

TATTOO LOVERS gather round because here is the only aftercare you'll ever want to use once you try it!

TOAD AND TURNIPS HERBAL TATTOO BALM!!

There are so few options out there as far as natural skincare for tattoos, most of the lotions suggested for use include chemicals, dyes, and fragrances (yes even the "fragrance free" kind!) Which is really no good for our skin. As an inked canvas myself, I saw this problem and decided to create a solution! I combined the best antiseptic and hydrating oils, and carefully chosen medicinal herbs to help gently and quickly heal up fresh ink, along with refreshing old!

This formula is soft, and gentle on skin, doesn't include ANY Chemicals, dyes or fragrances, along with

being responsibly sourced, comes in COMPOSTABLE packaging, and is not tested on animals 🐺🌿It keeps your skin extra hydrated for extended periods, does not bleed colors, keeps ink fresh and a little goes a looooong way!

The herbs and oils chosen have a powerful combination of antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and hydrating qualities perfect for healing tattoos quickly, naturally and effectively 💪🌿

Available now in my etsy! Click the link in my bio to check it out 💚 and thanks for supporting my small business!

Personal Notes

My main interaction with this herb is as a topical. It has so many amazing actions for the skin, so it finds its way into pretty much any salve I make. Name a skin condition, this is going to be useful.

As noted, it's not for long term use. That's less of a concern for a topical. But there are always going to be people more sensitive than others.

Internally, it's a bitter, so it has it's GIT uses. For short term liver and gallbladder cleansing would be where I'd be inclined to use it. GIT infections, that sort of thing.

Combine With:

Calendula can be fantastic all on its own as a salve or tincture. Because of the diverse actions it often doesn't need the addition of another plant.
