A professional Italian liposoluble strip wax enriched with prickly pear (Opuntia) oil — formulated for sensitive skin clients who need effective hair removal without redness, irritation, or residue.
What It Is
Rica Opuntia Oil Liposoluble Wax is a warm strip wax built around the same prickly pear cactus oil that runs through Rica's haircare range. Opuntia oil is exceptionally rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E — both known for their ability to calm inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier. Applied to waxing, this means a formula that grips hair cleanly, releases smoothly, and leaves skin noticeably calmer than a standard wax would.
Rica is the number one professional wax brand in the world, made in Italy. Their liposoluble wax range is the benchmark that other professional waxes are measured against — consistent working temperature, even spread, clean strip, minimal residue. The Opuntia formula is their sensitive skin answer: all the professional performance, with an active ingredient specifically chosen to protect reactive skin through the service.
Why Moda Carries This
When we stocked Rica, we started with the best. Rica is the world’s number one professional wax — Italian-made, with a formulation standard that’s unmatched. The Opuntia Oil formula is one of the standouts in the range because of what the prickly pear extract does to the skin post-strip: it calms rather than aggravates. For anyone who’s experienced redness and sensitivity after waxing, this is the wax that changes that expectation.
Key Ingredients
-
Opuntia (Prickly Pear) Oil: Rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E, opuntia oil has a strong affinity with skin’s natural lipid structure. It helps reduce post-wax redness and inflammation while conditioning the skin through the service.
-
Liposoluble Wax Base: Rica’s professional wax base maintains a stable, consistent working temperature and spreads evenly for clean, controlled application and a smooth strip release.
Pro Tip
Liposoluble waxes work at a lower temperature than hard waxes — ideal for larger areas like legs and arms. Apply in the direction of hair growth in a thin, even layer and strip back swiftly in the opposite direction. Less product, better contact, cleaner result. Avoid reworking the same area more than once per session on sensitive skin.
How To Use
- Heat wax to working temperature per the warmer instructions.
- Apply a thin, even layer in the direction of hair growth.
- Press strip firmly and remove swiftly in the opposite direction.
- Follow with Rica after-wax lotion or calming gel to remove residue and soothe skin.
