What are Inocream mineral PMU pigments and what are their advantages?

Question

Accepted Answer

Inocream mineral PMU pigments are iron oxide-based semi-cream cosmetic tattoo pigments known for exceptional color stability, minimal healed shift, and skin-friendly mineral composition.

Unlike organic pigments that rely on carbon-based colorants, Inocream mineral pigments use purified iron oxides — the same pigments used in medical tattoos and FDA-approved cosmetics. The semi-cream texture provides a balance between liquid flow and cream opacity, making them versatile for both hair-stroke and powder techniques. Healed results show less than 10% color shift, meaning the color you see in the bottle is very close to the healed result. CharmingTattoo's Inocream line includes 20+ shades formulated for EU REACH compliance.

Why Choose Inocream Mineral Pigments

Minimal Color Shift

Healed Shift: Less than 10% — the lowest among all PMU pigment types. The color you implant is essentially the color that heals.

Advantage: Eliminates the guesswork of anticipating 20-30% healing shift, making shade selection straightforward for artists at any level.

Hypoallergenic Profile

Composition: Iron oxides have the lowest allergenic potential among PMU colorants, well-documented in dermatological literature.

Best For: Clients with sensitive skin, previous allergic reactions to organic pigments, or autoimmune conditions requiring gentle formulas.

Semi-Cream Texture

Consistency: Smooth, creamy texture that flows through round liner and shader needles. Thicker than liquid, thinner than full cream.

Versatility: Works for hair strokes (thin layer), powder brows (layered), and lip blush (diluted with mixing solution).

Long-Lasting Results

Retention: 24-36 months before significant fading — longer than organic alternatives.

Fade Pattern: Gradual, even lightening without color distortion. Iron oxides maintain their original hue throughout the fading process.

When to Choose Inocream Mineral Pigments

Sensitive Skin Clients: Iron oxide pigments have decades of safety data in medical and cosmetic applications, making them the safest choice for reactive skin types.

Brow Color Correction: Mineral pigments' opacity and stability make them excellent for covering old blue/grey PMU brows without orange correction layers.

Mature Skin: The gentle formulation and predictable healing suit thin, mature skin that may not tolerate organic pigment saturation well.

Medical PMU: Areola restoration, scar camouflage, and vitiligo pigmentation benefit from mineral pigments' medical-grade stability.

Beginner-Friendly: Minimal color shift means less experienced artists can select shades with confidence, reducing touch-up needs.
