Who We Are
Rica means Mediterranean land
We live immersed in the Mediterranean, we are in love with it, and this is why every day we let ourselves be inspired by these places in everything we do.
Ingredients, perfumes and traditions contained in every single Rica product.
How it all began
From a small craft laboratory to a manufacturing company.
Rica was established in 1994 on the eastern coast of Sicily to both express and embody the natural resources of the island through its products.
At that time Mario Puglisi, on a trip to purchase wax for the salon of his two sisters, sees and catches an opportunity: launching Rica as a small-scale manufacturer of hair removal waxes.
Mario’s dedication and his entrepreneurial attitude turned Rica into a global cosmetics brand known for high-quality standards, extensive use of natural ingredients, commitment to customer service and to the environment in which we live.
