FICO D'INDIA SHOWER GEL

Fico d'India Shower Gel is the shower gel by Ortigia Sicilia, the house founded by Sue Townsend and inspired by the island of Ortigia, the ancient heart of Syracuse. It brings the house's best-loved fragrance into the shower, in a natural, olive oil-based formula.

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. In the shower the scent is released with the steam, fills the bathroom and leaves a light, clean trace on the skin.

Formula and Ingredients

A natural shower gel with an olive oil and glycerine base: milky and nourishing, it creates a rich foam in the bath and a soft lather in the shower. Like all Ortigia products, it is free from SLS, silicones, nickel and parabens. The 100 ml size is perfect for travelling, while the 250 ml size is designed for everyday use.

How to Use It

Pour a small amount onto wet skin or a sponge, massage into a soft lather and rinse. For a scented bath, add a few drops under the running bath water. To make the scent last longer, complete the ritual with the body cream of the same line.

Who We Recommend Fico d'India Shower Gel To

We recommend Fico d'India Shower Gel to those looking for a fresh, energising shower gel, perfect for starting the day. It is ideal in spring and summer, and the 100 ml size is the ideal companion for every trip.

Characteristics

Our Opinion

Fico d'India Shower Gel is a shower of Mediterranean light. Its scent lingers in the bathroom afterwards and, in our view, those who try it rarely go back to their old shower gel.

Complete the Ritual

• Fico d'India Body Cream is the body cream of the same line, with lanolin and olive oil: after your shower it moisturises the skin and makes the scent last.
• Fico d'India Shampoo is the shampoo of the same line, to extend the scent to your hair too.
• Fico d'India Liquid Soap is the liquid soap with the same fragrance, to scent your hands with every wash and bring the line to the bathroom or kitchen too.
