FICO D'INDIA BODY CREAM

Fico d'India Body Cream is the body cream by Ortigia Sicilia, the house founded by Sue Townsend and inspired by the island of Ortigia, the ancient heart of Syracuse. It holds the house's signature fragrance in a light formula that moisturises the skin and leaves it delicately scented.

The Scent

Fico d'India is Ortigia's best-loved scent, inspired by the cactus with glorious orange flowers that grows wild all over Sicily: a powdery accord of fig and cedarwood, fresh, dry and velvety. On the skin the cream leaves a delicate, lasting trail, designed to accompany your day and to pair with the Eau de Parfum of the same line.

Texture and Ingredients

A light, fresh cream enriched with lanolin, olive oil and almond oil: silky and highly perfumed, it sinks deep into the skin and is perfect for moisturising the body and hands. It is formulated without parabens or additives, in keeping with the philosophy of Ortigia, which makes its products together with small family-run companies and does not test them on animals. It is available in a handy 100 ml size and in a 300 ml size.

How to Use It

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and massage until fully absorbed: it is ideal all over the body after a shower, and also as a hand cream during the day. For a more intense, longer-lasting scent, apply it before the Eau de Parfum of the same fragrance.

Who We Recommend Fico d'India Body Cream To

We recommend Fico d'India Body Cream to those who love fresh yet soft scents, perfect for every day. It is ideal in spring and summer, after the beach or the shower, but its elegance makes it a pleasure all year round, on its own or with the other products of the line.
