Say Hello to the New Labels: GLOBAL vs. ORIGINAL

Kathryn Boehme

Sleek new look. Same bold performance.

From the desks of Li Pigments and Girlz Ink—your favorite Aqua® and Velvet® pigments just got a makeover! We’ve officially rolled out fresh, easy-to-identify labels that make your pigment shopping experience faster, clearer, and way more aesthetic.

Whether you’re stocking your studio or shopping for clients across the pond, you’ll now be able to quickly tell which pigment formula you’re getting: GLOBAL (EU Compliant) or ORIGINAL (USA Formulation).

What’s Changing—and Why?

We heard you loud and clear. You wanted a faster way to identify which pigments are REACH-compliant and which are the OG formulas you’ve loved for years. So we made it super obvious with our new packaging—no more guesswork!

  • GLOBAL Pigments = REACH-Compliant
    Labeled as AQUA® GLOBAL or VELVET® GLOBAL
    ✅ White label + gold lettering = Clean, modern, EU-ready.

Aqua Global Hazelnut Pigment – 15ml warm light brown for golden-toned skin

 

  • ORIGINAL Pigments = USA Formulation
    Labeled as AQUA® ORIGINAL or VELVET® ORIGINAL
    💙 Aqua = Blue label with gold accents

    💜 Velvet = Purple label with gold accents

More Than Just a Pretty Label...

We're not stopping at packaging. Here's what else we’ve improved behind the scenes:

  • Enhanced pigment load for richer results

  • Upgraded bottling system = less clogging, smoother flow

  • Formula fine-tuning for better implantation and healing

We’ve always been committed to giving you pigments that perform—these updates make that promise even stronger.

Need-to-Know: Transition Period

You might still receive some bottles with our previous labels as we finish cycling out old inventory. Don’t worry—they’re still the same trusted formulas inside. 💛
