Macadamia oil is one of those versatile, under-the-radar products that over the years has steadily gained recognition for its many uses and benefits. From moisturizing skin and healing scars to conditioning hair, and soothing sunburns, macadamia oil seems to do it all.
Widely used in Australian hospitals for burn victims’ scarring due to its remarkable healing properties, macadamia oil has also proven to be a powerful ally in skin regeneration and hydration. But what many don’t know is its incredible potential to enhance tattoos by keeping colors vibrant while supporting the skin’s healing process. Every tattoo tells a story, but before it becomes art, it starts as a healing wound. That’s where Jindilli’s Pure Macadamia Oil comes in, as a natural, nourishing solution to promote healthy tattoos.
Sourced from regeneratively grown Australian trees on Jindilli’s farm, the Pure Macadamia Oil is gently extracted by a cold press method and carefully filtered to remove any allergy-causing proteins. This process preserves all the benefits and key nutrients that make it an ideal choice for tattoo care.
Rich in oleic and palmitoleic acid, it deeply moisturizes the skin, keeping the area that’s been tattooed hydrated and supple. Hydration is critical during tattoo healing, as dry or flaky skin can cause pigments to fade unevenly and lose their vibrancy. Jindilli’s Pure Macadamia Oil contains protective properties that form a barrier on the skin, shielding it from environmental irritants while allowing the skin to breathe.
“Investing in your skincare is important so that it reflects in the beautiful work,” says Jennifer Barraza, professional tattoo artist and studio owner. “Skin art is fragile, and neglecting proper aftercare can not only damage the tattoo but also lead to long-term scarring. Tattoos are a lifelong investment, and with the right care, you’ll have a stunning piece of art to proudly show off for years to come.”
Beyond just healing, macadamia oil’s antioxidants, including vitamin E, provide long-term protection against environmental damage while promoting skin regeneration. With regular use, it helps preserve the vibrancy of your tattoo, ensuring colors remain bold and bright for years, particularly for intricate pieces with vivid colors. Lightweight and fast absorbing, it’s gentle enough for daily use, making it an essential addition to any tattoo care routine.
How to apply Jindilli’s Macadamia Oil to Tattoos:
- Avoid applying the oil to a fresh tattoo for the first 3-5 days as the tattoo is essentially still an open wound. Follow your tattoo artist’s recommended aftercare instructions, which typically involve washing the area gently and applying a fragrance-free, antibacterial ointment. Once the tattoo starts to lightly scab or peel (around day 3-5), you can begin using the macadamia oil to keep the area hydrated.
- Wash the tattoo with fragrance-free soap like Jindilli’s Cleanse Bar before applying the oil. Pat the area dry with a towel ensuring it’s dried completely to prevent trapping moisture.
- Use clean fingertips to gently massage a small amount of macadamia oil into the tattooed area. A light layer is enough to hydrate and protect the skin.
- Even after your tattoo is fully healed, regular application of macadamia oil helps maintain hydration and protects the ink’s vibrancy with its antioxidants and nourishing properties.
