When we first created our body butter at Black Oak Naturals, the goal was simple: deeply nourish skin with a clean, natural formula.


What we didn’t expect?

Our customers started reaching out telling us how amazing it worked for healing their new tattoos!

About Second Skin Bandages

Also known as Saniderm, Recovery Derm, Tegaderm, etc.

▪️Second skin bandages are breathable, waterproof and protect your tattoo from dirt, friction, and bacteria during the initial healing stage.

▪️They may collect fluid (ink, plasma, or blood) under the film. This is normal! If the bandage becomes loose, leaking, or uncomfortable; carefully remove it, wash the tattoo and follow the standard aftercare steps.

▪️Do not reapply a second skin bandage once removed unless directed by your artist.
