What makes this gel different

It stains the skin, not sits on it. Jagua's active compound (genipin) bonds with proteins in your epidermis. The result is a deep blue-black that looks like real tattoo ink — not a sticker, not a film, not a decal. It develops over 24-48 hours and fades naturally as your skin renews.

Ready to use, no mixing. Our gel is pre-mixed and ready to draw with straight from the tube or pouch. No powder, no water, no guesswork about consistency. That's a real difference vs competitors who sell freeze-dried powder you have to reconstitute yourself.

2-year shelf life frozen. Freeze it when it arrives, thaw 30 minutes before use, refreeze as many times as you need. No waste, no expiration pressure.

Clean formula. Genipa americana fruit juice, squalane, xanthan gum. That's the core. No PPD, no synthetic dyes, no animal-derived ingredients. Dermatologist tested. Meets EU cosmetic safety standards (EC 1223/2009) — the strictest in the world.
