Choosing a tattoo aftercare lotion starts with the stage your skin is in. aloetallow is a fragrance-free face and body moisturizer for intact, healed tattooed skin; for a fresh tattoo, follow your artist's aftercare instructions and confirm which products to use.
Each 8 fl oz pump bottle combines grass-fed tallow and aloe vera juice with coconut oil, shea butter and glycerin. It is a lotion, not pure aloe gel or a product for treating a wound.

Finally found a body lotion that doesn’t break me out. I use it on my arms and chest every night. The ingredient list is refreshingly short - you can tell they care about what goes inside.Rich D.✓ Verified buyer

Choosing Lotion for Healed Ink
For healed tattooed skin, look for a moisturizer you can comfortably use every day. aloetallow has no added fragrance or synthetic dyes. Its aloe-and-oil emulsion spreads as a lotion, and the pump dispenses it without scooping from a jar.
Fragrance-free does not mean that reactions are impossible. This formula includes coconut oil, shea butter, carrot seed oil and PE9010. Check the ingredients and try a small area first if you are sensitive to skincare products.
When to Start Lotion on a New Tattoo
There is no single start time that covers every tattoo or dressing. Follow the timing and product instructions your artist gives you. Do not use this page as a reason to put aloetallow on broken or weeping skin.
Once the tattoo is healed, apply a small amount to clean skin when it feels dry. Moisturizing and sun protection do different jobs: aloetallow has no SPF and does not replace sunscreen.
Aloe Lotion or Aloe Gel?
aloetallow's first ingredient is aloe vera juice, and the finished product is a lotion. Emulsifying wax NF blends its water-based and oily ingredients, and PE9010 preserves the formula. It also contains steam-distilled carrot seed oil.
For everyday moisture on healed skin, choose the texture and ingredients that suit you. We do not claim that aloetallow speeds tattoo healing, prevents infection or prevents ink fading.
Eight ingredients. Every one of them earned it.
Eight formula components, including the PE9010 preservative blend.
Aloe Vera Juice
The first ingredient and the water-based part of the lotion.
Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
Wet-rendered grass-fed tallow, an emollient that helps soften dry skin.
Coconut Oil
A moisturizing oil that contributes to the lotion's texture.
Shea Butter
A rich emollient that helps soften dry skin.
Carrot Seed Oil
A botanical oil from carrot seeds. Part of the formula, even though no fragrance is added.
Vegetable Glycerin
A humectant that draws in moisture.
Emulsifying Wax NF
Blends the water-based and oily ingredients into a lotion.
PE9010
Contains phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin. Helps protect the water-containing formula.
Each ingredient has a role.
Moisture and softness
Glycerin draws in moisture. Tallow, coconut oil and shea butter are emollients that help soften dry skin. These ingredients play different roles in the same lotion.
Aloe and oils, blended
Aloe vera juice is the first ingredient and contains water. Emulsifying wax NF combines that water-based part with the formula's oils into a spreadable lotion.
A preserved pump lotion
PE9010 helps protect the water-containing formula. The pump dispenses lotion without scooping from a jar. Keep the nozzle clean and store the bottle away from heat and direct sunlight.

What customers actually say.
You can tell it’s made with real ingredients, the texture and feel are completely different from anything you buy in stores. There’s no fake fragrance or chemical smell, just a clean, natural scent that fades quickly. My skin actually feels nourished instead of coated in product. I’ve replaced my old $40 “clean” lotion with AloeTallow, and honestly, it works better, feels better, and I know exactly what I’m putting on my skin.
LOVE this lotion!! Soaks in beautifully and is so nourishing to the skin. Love the clean ingredients -- makes you feel so good using it knowing that you are not putting chemicals on your skin. So excited to have found my new favorite lotion!!
I’ve been a repeat customer since last summer and I absolutely love this aloe tallow. It’s hands down the best lotion I’ve used—super nourishing without feeling greasy at all. My skin drinks it up and always feels so soft and healthy after. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions.
What should a tattoo aftercare lotion contain?
For healed tattooed skin, look for a moisturizer with clear ingredient information that your skin tolerates. aloetallow combines aloe vera juice, tallow and other moisturizing ingredients without added fragrance. For a fresh tattoo, use the products your artist recommends.
Can you put aloe vera on a new tattoo?
Check with your tattoo artist before adding any product to a fresh tattoo. Aloe gel and a finished lotion have different ingredients. aloetallow is a cosmetic moisturizer for intact skin, not a wound-care product.
How soon can you put lotion on a new tattoo?
Follow your tattoo artist's timing and product instructions rather than a fixed number of hours from a general web page. Once the skin is healed, aloetallow can be considered for everyday moisturizing if the formula suits your skin.
Does aloe vera fade tattoos?
We have not established that aloetallow changes how tattoo ink fades. Its role is moisturizing dry skin. Protect healed tattoos from the sun with appropriate sun protection; this lotion has no SPF.
Is a fragrance-free lotion better for tattoo aftercare?
Avoiding added fragrance removes one potential source of irritation, but it does not guarantee tolerance. aloetallow has no added fragrance or dyes and does contain carrot seed oil. Try a small area of healed skin first.
