H2Ocean Aftercare Piercing Spray
H2Ocean Piercing Spray helps to cleanse all your piercings and body modifications.
H2Ocean Piercing Spray with Lysozyme helps to safely remove dried discharge and lymph secretions when used every 3-4 hours on your piercings and body modifications.
The combination of sea salt and lysozyme creates the optimal solution to reduce the healing time and help eliminate adverse issues that commonly arise when dealing with a new piercing. Research has concluded that shorter healing times occur when naturally optimal healing environments are promoted rather than trying to heal with chemicals (soap, bactine, etc.) that destroy beneficial bacteria.
Directions:
Spray directly on piercing and allow to air dry. Apply as needed to the affected areas. Recommended use is 3 to 6 times per day. H2Ocean’s Piercing Aftercare Spray may also be used as a sea salt soak when needed for infections, keloids and other piercing irritations.
H2Ocean Healing Rinse
H2Ocean’s oral rinse was designed to help heal and protect new oral piercings without using harmful chemical solutions. Our alcohol and fluoride free oral rinses are the only sea salt based oral rinse with enzymes naturally found in your saliva. The days of mixing a salt solution and the dreaded taste of these mixtures are over. H2Ocean’s oral rinse formulas are enriched with the ingredient xylitol which helps prevent dry mouth. It also helps to prevent strep from grouping and plaque from staining teeth. Xylitol is a natural sweetener found in fruits and vegetables and is also produced naturally by the human body in small amounts. Rinsing with sea salt water has never been easier or more enjoyable.
Directions:
Gently swish a small amount around your mouth between 30-60 seconds no more than 3-4 times a day.
Desert Palms Emu Ranch Emu Oil
Desert Palms Emu Ranch emu oil is a natural alternative to aftercare for piercing and tattoos. Our oil is refined using a non-chemical process to get out all the impurities. Our oil is fully refined and is suitable for pharmaceutical usage. (not all emu oils are) Even though it is an oil, it has been proven that emu oildoes not clog the pores, therefore allowing the skin to breath during the healing process. (unlike most commercially made aftercare products that are petroleum based) Studies have shown that emu oil penetrates through all layers of the skin and is rich in nutrients (essential fatty acids) that feed the skin to aid in new cell development that can help hasten the healing process. Emu oil is also a natural emollient keeping the skin moist and pliable.
Directions:
For Tattoos-
Apply emu oil immediately after new artwork has been cleaned to relieve the discomfort and reduce the inflammation and redness. Emu oil will help set the colors (due to its deep penetrating properties) and will help reduce plasma oozing. Using emu oil 2-3 times a day during the healing process will keep the area moist, reducing or eliminating the flaking and/or scabbing that often occurs. Emu oil can prevent the need for touch-ups which saves the artist time and money, and makes for a happy customer. Note: apply emu oil only to clean skin.
For Piercing-
Apply emu oil 2-3 times daily after the piercing has been cleaned. Gently massage a single drop of emu oil around the opening of the piercing (entrance and exit) with clean finger. Desert Palms Emu Ranch emu oil is safe to use on tongue piercings, labrets and genital piercings.
For Stretching-
Apply emu oil daily as needed on clean surface with clean hands. Emu oil will keep area moist and pliable. Helps prevent tears and blow-outs on ear stretching. Put a drop of emu oil on larger gauge jewelry before insertion to ease discomfort and increase slide.
