RICA had one simple goal: to create a new concept of wax, a Cosmetic wax with a natural formula, gentle and nourishing to the skin, with superior hair-gripping strength. From the beginnning, this goal drove the RICA’s Research & Development department, that in the 1996 developed a new PATENTED FORMULA of liposoluble wax, 100% Colophony FREE*. Rica has made the choise to use only natural ingredients. All petroleum derived substances are absolutely banned in the Rica formulations.
Our natural formulation includes specific essential oils, nourishing vegetable oils, beeswax, titanium dioxide, opuntia oil and other natural ingredients, each carefully chosen for its specific effect on the skin.
THE WAXING SERVICE IS NOW A REAL BEAUTY TREATMENT AND A WELLNESS MOMENT FOR THE SKIN WITH RICA WAX.
Glyceryl Rosinate
Is the purest derivative of natural rosin responsible of wax adhesion.
Unlike colophony, the most widely used ingredient in depilatory product and a known skin irritant, Glyceryl-Rosinate is non-allergenic.
Natural Beeswax
Is a cosmetic element that is rich in mineral salts and proteins.
We use it to protect the skin during epilation, allowing for a more comfortable experience. Beeswax delivers also additional nutrition and hydration.
Vegetable Oil
Our Patented Formula uses a specifically choosen Vegetable Oil instead of petroleum-based compounds. This upgrade in wax formulation nourishes and moisturizes the skin, so our superior gripping strength is gentle to the skin.
Zinc Oxide
Naturally occuring Zinc Oxide is a skin conditioning, helps healing and is soothing. This very important ingredient is also naturally absorbing, helping to achieve a smooth and efficient epilation
