The Sacred Cow Aftercare Philosophy

We believe that aftercare should be as uncompromising as your art. At Sacred Cow, we take our mission seriously, providing a bold and all-natural alternative to petroleum-based balms. Crafted with organic beef tallow, our non-vegan balm delivers the kind of serious results your tattoos deserve.

Authenticity Over Everything

This is not a magic potion. It's a no-nonsense balm created with purpose. We’ve combined the nourishing power of beef tallow with Calendula, sweet orange, and tea tree oils. The result is a bold, non-petroleum balm that gives your skin and ink the respect they deserve.

The Aftercare Renaissance

We got tired of the petroleum junk, so we made something better. We've embraced a bold, no-nonsense ethos to bring you a product that works. At Sacred Cow, we combine the science of nature's gifts with spirited artistry to redefine what it means to care for your ink.

FAQ

Your go-to for all things tattoo—ask away, and we’ll dazzle you with wisdom

It starts with the cow. We source our organic grass-fed beef tallow exclusively from regenerative farms. This is our core sustainability commitment. Regenerative farming actively improves soil health, making our ingredient not just ethically sourced, but environmentally beneficial. Bow to the Cow!

Your ink is an investment. We protect it with science, not fluff.

Tattoos fade when the skin is dry and the barrier is compromised. Our balm combats this on two fronts:

  1. Deep Nourishment: The organic beef tallow is packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins (A, D, E, K). Its compatibility with your skin means it absorbs deeply to reinforce the skin barrier and lock in moisture where it counts.
  2. Defense: We include Vitamin E and natural oils (antioxidants) that protect the skin barrier from environmental stressors.

By creating a deeply nourished and protected canvas, we ensure your color stays vibrant, sharp, and true for the long haul.

Let’s be honest: "Sensitive skin" is a highly personal thing.

Since no product can be guaranteed safe for everyone, we use simple, high-quality ingredients like organic tallow and gentle essential oils precisely because they are known for skin compatibility, not because they are cheap fillers. We strongly recommend doing a patch test on a small area of skin before full use.

We didn't set out to be non-vegan; we chose the best possible ingredient for your skin. Beef tallow contains a unique profile of essential fatty acids and vitamins (A, D, E, K) that is biologically compatible with human skin. This allows for deeper penetration and superior moisture retention, which is essential for preserving your art. It’s a transparent, uncompromising choice that puts effectiveness first.

We built Sacred Cow to provide unrivaled support for your skin's recovery process. Our formula is built on biologically compatible tallow which penetrates deeper than ordinary balms to lock in essential moisture and reinforce the skin barrier.

The result is simple: Deep nourishment that helps soothe the skin, reduce the appearance of dryness and flaking, and maintain the optimal environment for your art. By keeping your skin deeply settled and healthy, we ensure your ink stays vibrant and sharp for the long haul.
