Most people don’t realize that the skin is more than just a protective shield - it’s our largest organ and a direct pathway to the bloodstream. When we apply skincare products, the ingredients don’t just stay on the surface. They’re absorbed into the body. That’s why it’s critical to understand what’s inside your lotion, cream, or tattoo aftercare product.
The Hidden Dangers in Mainstream Skincare
Walk down any drugstore aisle and you’ll see shelves stacked with mainstream lotions that promise silky, smooth skin. But behind the fancy packaging, most of these formulas contain toxic ingredients and endocrine disruptors - compounds that can interfere with hormones and affect long-term health.
Common offenders include:
-
Parabens and preservatives: linked to hormone disruption.
-
Synthetic fragrances: a single word (“fragrance”) can hide dozens of chemicals.
-
Petroleum by-products: yes, petroleum - derived from crude oil - is still used in lotions. Instead of nourishing, it creates a suffocating layer that blocks the skin’s natural ability to breathe and detoxify.
These ingredients don’t honor your skin. They’re designed for shelf life and profit margins, not for your health.
Why Oils Are the Better Choice for Skin and Tattoos
Unlike mainstream lotions, natural body oils work in harmony with the skin. They deliver real nutrition - vitamins, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants - that help the skin restore, repair, and glow. Oils mimic the skin’s natural sebum, absorbing quickly and supporting balance without clogging pores.
For those with tattoos, choosing a tattoo-safe moisturizer is even more important. Tattoo ink can already contain heavy metals and synthetic compounds. Adding lotions with preservatives and petroleum only increases your toxic exposure. A clean, toxin-free tattoo aftercare oil ensures you’re hydrating your skin and protecting your ink without hidden risks.
Why Kiwi Glow Is Different
Kiwi Glow was born from the belief that what you put on your skin should be as pure as what you put in your body.
Here’s why our tattoo aftercare oil and body oils stand apart:
-
No outsourcing - every product is hand-blended in small batches in the U.S.

Final Thought
What goes on your skin goes into your bloodstream. If you wouldn’t drink petroleum by-products, parabens, or synthetic fragrances, why let your skin absorb them?
