NEW FORMULATION ART

Cica-Cold draws on the original formula of protective cold creams, historically designed to shield the skin from harsh weather conditions, and combines it with a contemporary repairing approach inspired by "cica" skincare.

Its emulsified structure combines a protective nourishing phase with a controlled concentration of moisturizing agents, including glycerin, to provide long-lasting hydration. Ceramides help strengthen the skin barrier, while organic extracts of camellia and calendula help soothe fragile skin. Green tea completes the formula with its protective action.

The balance of the formula creates an enveloping yet non-occlusive texture that restores comfort without overloading the skin. A faithful interpretation of the spirit of pharmacy, designed with today's dermocosmetic requirements in mind.
