Color Guard SPF sunscreen
Color Guard is a product produced and distributed by Tattoo Goo. It is one of the many products to maintain a tattoo.
One of the main reasons why healed tattoos will progressively fade is exposure to UV rays. There are currently two forms of Color Guard, one is the Color Guard STICK, the other is the Color Guard SPRAY.
The first to come out was the Color Guard stick. It is a .45oz (13g) tube that almost looks like a large tube of chap stick, it is applied to a healed tattoo by tracing over it with the ointment. It was developed for sales in not only tattoo shops, but tanning salons as well. After about two years suggestions were made for a larger, or easier form of application which was when the Color Guard Spray was developed and hit the market.
In the summer of 2005, Color Guard Spray made available, it is the same formula as the Color Guard Stick but was made in a 2 FL.OZ (59ml) pump bottle for easier application on larger tattoo pieces.
Both Color Guard Spray and Color Guard Sticks block 96.7% of UVA and UVB rays (30 SPF sun block). They both also contain skin moisturizers, so when applying Color Guard, it is not only protected from the sun but helps retain moisture as well.
