The Clean Beauty Checklist: How to Choose Non-Toxic Temporary Tattoos – Anomalie Tattoo Co

The clean beauty movement has changed how we shop for skincare, makeup, and even haircare. But what about temporary tattoos? If you or your kids love wearing them, it is worth asking the same question you ask about your moisturiser or sunscreen: what exactly is going on my skin?

Temporary tattoos can be fun, stylish, and expressive, but not all of them are made safely. Some cheap products on the market use harsh dyes or adhesives that can irritate sensitive skin. This is where the clean beauty philosophy steps in. At Anomalie Tattoo Co., we create artist-designed tattoos with a clean beauty mindset — safe, transparent, and skin-friendly. Here’s a checklist you can use the next time you shop for temporary tattoos.

✅ 1. Ingredient Transparency

Clean beauty starts with honesty. A trustworthy brand should clearly share what its tattoos are made of. If the packaging or website doesn’t list ingredients, that’s a red flag.

Our tattoos are made with cosmetic-grade, non-toxic inks that comply with international safety standards. You can see this reflected across our collections, whether it’s playful designs in the Kids Collection or bold artwork in the Best Sellers.

✅ 2. Non-Toxic Pigments

Some low-quality tattoos may contain heavy metals, unsafe dyes, or even industrial-grade colourants. These can cause allergic reactions, rashes, or worse. Clean tattoos use pigments that are specifically approved for skin contact.

At Anomalie, we never use PPD (p-phenylenediamine), the chemical often found in black henna that can cause severe skin reactions. Instead, we stick to safe, cosmetic-grade pigments for every design — from florals to artist sheets.

✅ 3. Adhesives That Are Skin-Safe

Temporary tattoos use a thin adhesive layer to help the design transfer and stay on your skin. But not all adhesives are equal. Some can contain latex or strong glues that cause irritation, especially for kids or people with sensitive skin.

Clean beauty means adhesives that are gentle, hypoallergenic, and safe. Our tattoos are designed to stick without causing dryness, itchiness, or peeling, and they come off easily with baby oil or coconut oil.

✅ 4. Safety Certifications

A quick way to check if a tattoo is clean: does the brand mention compliance with recognised standards? In clean beauty, certifications matter.

EN71-3: European toy safety standard that tests for harmful elements.
ASTM F963: US toy safety standard covering chemicals and mechanical safety.
CPSIA: US regulation limiting lead and phthalates in children’s products.

Our tattoos are tested against these benchmarks, so parents can trust designs in the Kids Tattoos Collection and beyond.

✅ 5. Clean Removal

One of the pillars of clean beauty is respecting the skin barrier. A clean temporary tattoo should not require aggressive scrubbing or harsh removers.

Our tattoos fade naturally in a few days and can be removed gently with coconut oil or baby oil. That means no scratching, no strong solvents, and no damage to your skin.

✅ 6. Eco-Friendly Packaging

Clean beauty isn’t just about what’s on your skin; it’s also about the planet. Thoughtful brands reduce waste and avoid unnecessary packaging.

At Anomalie, we prioritise recyclable packaging and minimal plastics. A temporary tattoo should be fun, not harmful to the environment.

✅ 7. Designed With Intention

Finally, clean beauty is about the overall experience. Tattoos should not just be safe — they should be beautiful and meaningful too.

We collaborate with South Asian artists to bring cultural depth and creativity to every design. When you choose Anomalie Tattoos, you’re supporting not only clean beauty but also artistic expression.

🌿 Why Non-Toxic Tattoos Matter

Our skin is our largest organ, and what we put on it matters. Non-toxic tattoos give peace of mind to parents, festival-goers, and anyone conscious about their wellness choices. They let you enjoy creativity and self-expression without compromising safety.

Whether it’s a child’s birthday party, a wedding sangeet, or a music festival, clean tattoos ensure the fun stays worry-free.

✨ Final Takeaway

The clean beauty checklist for temporary tattoos is simple: transparent ingredients, non-toxic pigments, safe adhesives, global certifications, gentle removal, eco-friendly packaging, and intentional design. If a brand can tick all these boxes, you know you’ve found a tattoo you can trust.

At Anomalie Tattoo Co., we proudly embrace these principles, making every tattoo both safe and stylish. From kids’ party packs to floral festival sets, our designs celebrate fun without compromise.
