The truth about volumes and formulas: why the gross price is an illusion

When choosing a product to care for tattooed skin, we often compare the price, size and composition. Yet another criterion deserves our full attention: how the product presents itself, dispenses and is applied to the skin.

Cream, balm, butter or mousse: each texture has its own characteristics. And when comparing different products, the volume of liquid in a bottle does not always tell the whole story.

At DermaTattoo®, we have chosen a different approach: a 65 ml liquid formula dispensed as a mousse thanks to an air-incorporating dispensing system.

Creams and balms are traditionally used for skin care. Depending on their formulation, they can have lighter or thicker textures and offer different sensations when applied. Very rich textures provide intense nourishment, but sometimes leave a shiny or noticeable finish on the skin.

Mousse offers a different experience. Thanks to its airy texture, it spreads easily over the skin, absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film and allows precise control over the amount of product dispensed.

It is not a matter of saying that one texture is systematically superior to another. Each formulation has its own characteristics, and the choice depends notably on the skin's hydration needs and individual preferences. The difference lies as much in the daily comfort experience as in the amount of product contained in the packaging.

One of DermaTattoo's unique features is the combination of its liquid formula and dispensing system. The bottle contains 65 ml of liquid cosmetic product. When used, the device incorporates air into the formula to deliver a voluminous, lightweight mousse that is easy to spread.

Depending on the characteristics of our system, a 65 ml bottle can produce up to approximately 2 litres of mousse. This difference between the initial liquid volume and the apparent volume of mousse obtained illustrates the full benefit of this dispensing method.

It is important to understand that these 2 litres correspond to the volume of mousse formed by the combination of the product and the air incorporated during dispensing. It is therefore not 2 litres of concentrated liquid formula, but a volume of aerated mousse ready to be applied. This distinction helps to better understand the specificities of the DermaTattoo format and not to limit the comparison between products to their gross volume alone.

The mousse format allows the treatment to be dispensed gradually, depending on the area concerned and the desired quantity. A small tattooed area and a larger piece do not naturally require the same volume of product.

The number of applications possible with a bottle therefore depends on several parameters:

The dispensing system allows the desired exact quantity to be taken hygienically, without having to dip directly into a jar. To assess the autonomy of a product, it is therefore preferable to consider the actual consumption during use rather than solely comparing the volumes indicated on the packaging.

Preservation is also an important criterion in choosing a cosmetic product. The DermaTattoo formulation offers excellent physical stability and has a shelf life of 3 years before opening, subject to compliance with the conditions specified on its label.

As with any cosmetic product, it is important to distinguish this initial durability from the Period After Opening (PAO) indicated by the open jar pictogram on the bottle, which defines the recommended duration of use once the product has been opened. The packaging is an integral part of the product design and actively contributes to the protection of the formula throughout its use.

DermaTattoo's identity is based on the combination of a rigorous cosmetic formulation and a mousse dispensing system. This combination allows for a fluid and lightweight texture, different from traditional creams and balms. The liquid formula instantly transforms into a mousse when dispensed, offering an airy application and easy spreading, ideal for the comfort of stressed skin.

Our approach consists of prioritizing practical use, an adjustable amount of product and a transparent presentation of our treatment's characteristics. The claimed cosmetic benefits strictly correspond to the hydration and skin barrier protection properties demonstrated by our formula.

Comparing only the price per millilitre of two products with radically different textures can give an incomplete view of their real cost. A compact cream, a dense butter and an airy mousse do not have the same dispensing habits or spreading power.

To assess the real cost of use, several elements must be taken into account:

The apparent volume of mousse is an advantageous technical feature of the DermaTattoo format to facilitate application, but it is the ratio between the amount actually consumed at each routine, the number of uses and the price of the product that allows for a relevant comparison.

With its compact and portable 65 ml bottle, its mousse dispensing system and its long-lasting stability, DermaTattoo offers a modern approach to the cosmetic care of tattooed skin. Its principle is based on a simple idea: combine a fluid formula with an aeration system to obtain a generous, soft mousse that is pleasant to use daily.

65 ml of liquid formula. Up to approximately 2 litres of airy mousse. A format designed for gradual and economical use. Because the choice of a product does not only depend on what it contains, but also on how it takes care of your skin.

Hygiene advice: For the care of a recent tattoo, scrupulously follow the hygiene recommendations provided by your tattoo artist and check that the products used are suitable for cosmetic use on skin in the recovery phase. In case of an unusual skin reaction, persistent discomfort or suspicion of infection, immediately seek advice from a healthcare professional.
