The Amazonian Saviour Multi-Purpose Balm will help protect your new tattoo and protect your existing ones.

Those natural oils they rely on are now called upon to craft this beauty do-all.

It’s packed with babassu oil, a key ingredient found in some of the brand’s most nourishing products, as well as beeswax to help seal in the moisture, so it isn’t just a balm that’s made to protect your tattoos, you can also call upon this mighty formula to hydrate and soothe any areas of parched skin.
If you’re unfamiliar with babassu oil, it’s a nourishing ingredient that’s loaded with vitamin E and phytosterols, which is why it calms down any inflammation in a jiffy. It’s also been known to treat troublesome skin conditions like eczema, so rest assured, it’ll care for your tattoos, visible scars, and itchy patches.
To match its powerful formula, The Body Shop has invited renowned UK-based tattoo artist Saira Hunjan to create a beautiful exterior to house the balm in – a rather befitting design, if we may say so. Go ahead and pick this up to show your ink some TLC.
The Body Shop Amazonian Saviour Multi-Purpose Balm, $16. Available from 29 June.
