A gentle full-body exfoliating scrub formulated with sugar granules, volcanic sand from Mt. Etna, and Opuntia extract — removes dead skin cells, smooths the skin surface, and leaves the body feeling toned, soft, and visibly renewed.
The Moda Team Review
The Rica Softening Body Scrub sits in a category of its own within the Rica line — this is the prep step that makes everything else perform better. The combination of sugar granules and volcanic sand from Mt. Etna delivers a dual-action exfoliation: the sugar granules are water-soluble and gentle on the surface while the volcanic sand provides the slightly deeper mechanical exfoliation that actually clears dead skin and product buildup. Opuntia extract — derived from prickly pear cactus — brings calming and toning properties to the post-exfoliation skin surface. The result is genuinely smoother skin that holds moisture more effectively after application.
For clients who wax with Rica, this is the prep step that gives wax the cleanest possible surface to work on. For anyone using self-tanner, after-sun treatments, or body moisturisers, removing the layer of dead skin first means those products absorb better and last longer. The delicate fragrance lingers without being heavy.
Why Moda Carries Rica
Rica is an Italian professional wax brand with a long-standing reputation for quality formulation. We carry the Rica body care line because the products are formulated to complement and support the skin before and after professional treatments — not as generic body products, but as a curated range designed for clients who take their skin preparation seriously.
Key Active Ingredients
-
Sugar Granules: Water-soluble mechanical exfoliants that dissolve as they work, making them gentler on the skin than synthetic beads or rough grains — ideal for most skin types.
-
Volcanic Sand from Mt. Etna: Fine mineral particles with a slightly coarser texture than sugar — delivers deeper mechanical exfoliation and helps remove stubborn buildup without irritating the skin surface.
-
Opuntia Extract (Prickly Pear): Calming and toning extract that soothes the skin post-exfoliation and supports the smoother skin texture achieved by the scrub.
Moda Pro Tip
Apply to slightly damp skin in circular motions before showering, focusing on knees, elbows, and any areas prone to roughness or dryness. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. For best results before a waxing appointment, use 24–48 hours beforehand — never immediately before — to give the skin time to recover and present cleanly for the wax.
Not the Right Fit If...
Not for active skin irritation, sunburn, open wounds, or very sensitive reactive skin — the mechanical exfoliation, even though gentle, will aggravate compromised skin. Follow with a body moisturiser or body oil for best results; the scrub removes the dead layer but does not replace hydration.
How To Use
- Apply to slightly damp skin before showering.
- Massage in small circular motions, working from the ankles upward.
- Pay extra attention to knees, elbows, and any rough or dry areas.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Follow with a body moisturiser or body oil.
