La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5

La Roche-Posay is a globally recognized skincare brand rooted in thermal water therapy. The brand's history began in the village of La Roche-Posay, France, where thermal springs were discovered to have skin-healing properties. Originally established in 1975 by pharmacist René Levayer, the brand focused on developing dermatological products formulated for sensitive skin.

Today, most of its products, including the iconic Cicaplast range, are manufactured in France to maintain the integrity of their formulas and connection to their source. The brand emphasizes clinical efficacy and safety, often partnering with dermatologists worldwide for product development.

In 1989, the brand was acquired by L'Oréal, the world's largest cosmetics company. Under L'Oréal’s Active Cosmetics Division (now L'Oréal Dermatological Beauty), La Roche-Posay has expanded to over 60 countries, maintaining its position as a leading brand in the medical-grade skincare market.
