One butter for the entire process

Zest Butter serves two purposes. During the tattooing process , use it as a lubricant or butter: it ensures smooth glide, keeps the needle free of residue, and reduces the need for wiping. After the session, it transitions to aftercare and keeps the fresh tattoo supple. The formula is based on nourishing plant butters and oils, supplemented with vitamin E.

Citrus Instead of Clove in the Scent

The Zest scent is the most striking feature of this variant: a zesty citrus note that masks the typical pungent clove smell foundin many butters . This is the only difference from the Candy variant of the same butter; the aftercare formula is structured similarly —you choose based on your scent preference.

Clove extract instead of lidocaine

Biotat uses clove extract in the Zest Butter instead of synthetic anesthetics like lidocaine. Clove (the ingredient eugenol) is traditionally known for its skin-soothing properties and is said to reduce redness . The formula contains no chlorhexidine, is vegan, and is not tested on animals.
