La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5

La Roche-Posay is a world-renowned dermocosmetic brand that originated in the small village of La Roche-Posay, France, famous for its thermal spring water. The brand was officially founded in 1975 by pharmacist René Levayer with a focus on dermatological health and the unique minerals found in the local thermal water.

In 1989, the brand was acquired by L’Oréal, the world's largest cosmetics company. Today, La Roche-Posay operates within L'Oréal's Dermatological Beauty division. The manufacturing of their products remains primarily centered in France, utilizing the thermal spring water from its source, ensuring high standards of safety and efficacy for sensitive skin. As of 2026, L'Oréal remains the ultimate parent company, managing its distribution globally through local subsidiaries like L'Oréal France or L'Oréal USA.
