Shop RICA Wax
Smooth starts with the right wax.
Professional Italian waxing products, plus the prep and aftercare that complete the routine — made easier to shop by wax type, skin need and the way you're working.
Start with the skin.
Start here
Choose the wax by the skin.
Don't shop by the ingredient name — shop by what you need. The formula names start making sense one section down.
Sensitive + easily reddened
Start with Azulene or Opuntia Oil — the calming, sensitive-skin formulas in the range.
Dry + needs conditioning
White Chocolate's cocoa butter and Milk's proteins condition and soften skin through the service.
Everyday + strong grip
Honey for reliable everyday grip — Titanium Rose when hair is fine, short or stubborn.
Fragrance-sensitive + large areas
Chlorophyll is completely fragrance-free and exceptionally pliable — made for longer strokes over larger areas.
Precision areas
The Brazilian Film Wax — a no-strip formula for bikini, underarm and facial waxing.
First things first
Strip wax or no-strip wax?
Liposoluble / strip wax
For larger areas.
Warm wax applied in a thin layer and removed with a waxing strip — the traditional technique, and the format behind most RICA formulas: Milk, Azulene, Opuntia, White Chocolate, Argan Oil, Honey, Titanium Rose and Chlorophyll.
Explore strip waxFilm / no-strip wax
For precision areas.
Applied in a thicker layer, allowed to set, then removed by hand without a strip. It grips the hair rather than the skin — which is why the Brazilian Film Wax with Avocado Butter is the one for bikini, underarm and facial areas.
Explore film waxExact body-area suitability comes from each product's own instructions — check the product page before you buy.
The RICA Wax guide
Same job. Different formulas.
Eight liposoluble strip waxes, each built for a different skin or hair situation — plus the no-strip Brazilian Film Wax above for precision areas. Exact sizes on every product page.
Sensitive + easily reddened
Azulene.
Chamomile-derived azulene for sensitive-skin waxing with noticeably less redness.
Sensitive skin
Opuntia Oil.
Prickly pear oil rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E — Rica's sensitive-skin answer.
Gentle + conditioning
Milk.
Milk proteins soften and condition skin through the service — the gentle all-rounder.
Sensitive + conditioning
Argan Oil.
Argan oil conditions and softens sensitive skin that needs extra care.
Fine, short + stubborn hair
Titanium Rose.
Titanium dioxide makes a denser, creamier wax with exceptional grip on fine or short hairs.
Fragrance-free + large areas
Chlorophyll.
Completely fragrance-free and exceptionally pliable — an easy, even spread over larger areas.
Pick your size
How much wax do you need?
Standard sizes suit occasional waxing or trying a new formula. The 800ml and 800g professional formats are for high-volume, regular use — same formulas, better value per application. Exact sizes are on every product page.
Before. During. After.
Build the waxing routine.
A simple, professional routine for smoother results and happier skin — don't stop at the strip.
01 · Exfoliate
Body Exfoliant.
Removes dead-skin buildup and helps prevent ingrown hairs — use it a day or two before waxing.
02 · Prep
Cotton Milk Pre-Wax Gel.
Cleanses the skin surface just before the service, so wax bonds to the hair — not the skin.
03 · Wax
Choose your wax.
Pick the formula by skin and grip — Milk is the gentle all-rounder, and the full guide is above.
04 · Calm + condition
After-wax care.
Removes wax residue while soothing, cooling and hydrating — Aloe Vera is the versatile starting point.
The part people forget
What you do after matters too.
Every after-wax product removes residue — the difference is what your skin needs next: cooling, conditioning, refreshing or softening.
Reactive + uncomfortable
Opuntia Oil Calming Gel.
An immediate cooling layer for skin that needs more than a lotion — the maximum-comfort option.
Calming + hydrating
Aloe Vera After Wax Lotion.
Soothes, cools and lightly hydrates freshly waxed skin.
Dry + tight
Avocado Oil After Wax Lotion.
Rich avocado conditioning for dry, dehydrated post-wax skin.
Sensitive + conditioning
Argan Oil After Wax Lotion.
Vitamin E and essential fatty acids for sensitive, dry or tight post-wax skin.
Sensitive + soothing
Opuntia Oil After Wax Lotion.
Prickly pear oil calms reactive skin while removing residue.
Light + refreshing
Lemon After Wax Lotion.
A clean, bright, refreshing finish rather than a rich conditioning one.
Light + moisturising
Coconut After Wax Emulsion.
A lighter, faster-absorbing emulsion with coconut hydration for everyday post-wax care.
Softening + comfort
Rose After Wax Lotion.
Rose extract calms and softens freshly waxed skin, with a delicate fragrance.
Between appointments
The step that makes the next wax better.
Avocado Milk Serum is the between-appointment step — a leave-in body serum applied to waxed areas after the service and continued at home.
- Conditions waxed skin with avocado and milk proteins
- Works to slow the rate of hair regrowth between services
- Hair returns finer, so the waxing result lasts longer
- Light enough to continue daily at home
The Sicilian thread
Meet Opuntia.
Prickly pear — the cactus oil that runs through Rica's haircare range — is the thread that ties the wax line to the rest of the brand. In waxing it appears three times: the sensitive-skin strip wax, the after-wax lotion and the calming gel.
- Rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E
- The sensitive-skin answer in the wax range
- Carries on calming after the strip — in the lotion and the gel

Why RICA Wax
Wax made around more than hair removal.
Multiple formulas
Nine wax formulas rather than one generic product — chosen by skin, hair and area.
Strip + film options
Liposoluble strip waxes for larger areas, and a no-strip film wax for precision work.
Pre + post care
Exfoliation, prep gel and a full after-wax range complete the routine on both sides of the strip.
Professional roots
Made in Italy by the world's number one professional wax brand — the benchmark other waxes are measured against.
Why we choose it
Because “wax is wax” isn't really the whole story.
The right waxing routine depends on more than removing hair. Skin condition matters, the area matters, the application method matters — and what you use before and after matters too. Rica gives us enough choice to make the routine more specific without making it complicated.
- Right formula — matched to the skin, not the trend
- Right format — strip for larger areas, film for precision
- Right prep — exfoliation and pre-wax cleansing first
- Right aftercare — because what happens after waxing matters
Right wax. Right skin.
RICA Wax questions?
Common questions.
The ones we answer at the front desk every week.
-
What is liposoluble wax?
Liposoluble is Rica's term for its oil-based warm strip waxes — applied to the skin in a thin layer while warm, then removed with a waxing strip. It's the format behind most of the formulas on this page.
-
What's the difference between strip wax and film wax?
Strip wax is removed with a paper or fabric strip and suits larger areas like legs and arms. Film wax is applied in a thicker layer, sets, and is removed by hand without a strip — it grips the hair rather than the skin, which is why it's used for precision areas.
-
Which RICA wax should I use?
Start with the skin, then choose the wax. The Choose-by-skin section at the top of this page narrows it down — sensitive, dry, everyday grip, fragrance-free or precision — and the formula guide translates each name into what it's actually for.
-
Which RICA wax is best for sensitive skin?
Azulene — with chamomile-derived azulene for less redness — and Opuntia Oil are the sensitive-skin formulas. Milk is the gentle, conditioning all-rounder, and for delicate precision areas the no-strip Brazilian Film Wax grips the hair rather than the skin.
-
Which RICA wax is best for dry skin?
White Chocolate — its cocoa butter conditions and softens dry skin through the service. Follow with the Avocado Oil After Wax Lotion, the richest of the aftercare options.
-
What's the difference between Milk and Azulene wax?
Both suit sensitive skin, differently. Milk conditions with milk proteins for a softer skin feel through the strip; Azulene actively calms redness with a chamomile-derived compound. If your skin flushes easily, start with Azulene; if it runs dry or rough, start with Milk.
-
Which wax should I use for smaller or precision areas?
The Brazilian Film Wax with Avocado Butter — a no-strip formula for bikini, underarm and facial areas. As always, the exact areas a product suits come from its own instructions.
-
Do I need waxing strips?
With the liposoluble strip waxes, yes — they're removed with an appropriate waxing strip. The Brazilian Film Wax needs no strip at all; it sets and is removed by hand.
-
What size should I buy?
Standard sizes suit occasional waxing or trying a formula for the first time. The 800ml and 800g professional formats give better value per application for regular, high-volume use. The exact size is listed on every product page — neither format is restricted to professionals.
-
What should I use before waxing?
Two steps: the Body Exfoliant a day or two before, to lift dead skin and help prevent ingrown hairs, and the Cotton Milk Pre-Wax Gel just before the service, so the wax bonds to the hair rather than the skin.
-
What should I use after waxing?
An after-wax product — it removes residue while caring for the skin. Choose by need: the Calming Gel for reactive skin, Aloe Vera to soothe and cool, Avocado or Argan Oil to condition, Lemon or Coconut for a lighter finish. Between appointments, the Avocado Milk Serum conditions skin and helps slow regrowth.
-
Can RICA wax be used at home?
Selected products may suit experienced home users — with appropriate heating equipment, temperature control and the manufacturer's instructions followed exactly. Never improvise heating temperatures: use the directions for the specific product and heater you're working with, and test wax temperature before it touches skin.
