Frequently Asked Questions
  • What makes Rica truly the best WAX IN THE WORLD?
  • With customers in 60 countries worldwide, it's the quality of the RAW materials that go into this special product that makes it different than all the rest. First lets start with where much of these special ingredients originate, the island of Sicily, a land that boasts some of the finest natural ingredients in the WORLD. WHY? The entire island is rich in minerals thanks to the continuous volcanic eruptions from MT Etna, the world’s best known active volcano. Rica Waxes contain ZERO skin irritants and allergens due to Rica's commitment to eliminate such impurities even from their natural ingredients. All Rica's manufacturing processes are compliant with Ecocert Italia’s organic and natural regulations. Largest, leading Italian wax manufacturer Rica has received a certification of quality from Ecocert Italia ISO 9001-2000.

  • Why do some natural ingredients need to be purified?
  • Rica Waxes do not contain COLOPHONY, an irritant resin from a pine tree usually used in wax production. Rica Wax base formula contains Glyceryl Rosinate: natural purified resin. Because Rica purifies the resin and completely eliminates the colophony our wax doesn't cause irritation and allergy to the skin.

  • Does Rica Wax stick to the skin?
  • You really have to experience RICA to believe it. This product is known for its amazingly gentle effect on even the most sensible body parts. The addition of naturally occurring titanium dioxide guarantees an excellent grip less painful.

  • What is the melting point of Rica Strip Wax?
  • No Colophony means the melting point of our Lipo wax is much lower than other lipo waxes, making it gentler on the client, a low 122*F.

  • Does Rica Strip Waxes contain both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in the formulation?
  • 15 of the 19 World Famous Rica Strip Waxes contain both Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide. Not just one!! Unlike competitors Rica's commitment to customers is to "offer the highest quality waxes available in the market today."

  • Why does Rica Strip Wax last longer than other waxes?
  • Rica wax applies in an extremely thin layer. It's very important to apply Rica Wax thinly and evenly on the skin. As a result our customers see a significant reduction in wax used per application thus saving them money.
