La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 repair balm 100ml — baby-safe, fragrance-free barrier cream

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5+ is a rich, non-greasy repair balm that soothes, protects and helps restore dry, irritated skin on face, hands and body.

Designed for sensitive and easily irritated skin, this multi-purpose balm blends panthenol (vitamin B5), shea butter and madecassoside with a protective mineral complex to comfort and hydrate areas affected by dryness, chafing or chapping. The texture absorbs without leaving a greasy film and is tested for use on babies from one week old, as well as adults and children. It's fragrance-free, paraben-free and formulated to be gentle yet effective when layered on stressed skin.

How does Cicaplast Balm B5+ soothe and support damaged skin?

The formula combines reparative and moisturizing ingredients to calm visible irritation and reinforce the skin's natural barrier. Panthenol helps moisturize and deliver quick soothing, while madecassoside targets signs of stressed skin. Emollients like shea butter and glycerin restore softness and flexibility, reducing tightness and rough texture.

• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) to deliver immediate calming moisture.
• Madecassoside (Centella Asiatica derivative) to help reduce visible irritation.
• Shea butter and glycerin for lasting nourishment and smoother feel.
• Mineral complex (copper, zinc, manganese) to support skin resilience.

Can the balm be used on babies and sensitive areas?

Yes — the balm is formulated and dermatologically tested for sensitive skin and pediatric settings. It’s free of fragrance, parabens and lanolin, and designed to protect chafed areas including diaper zones and baby cheeks. Still, avoid applying to open, actively bleeding wounds and consult a pediatrician for broken skin.

• Safe for babies aged one week and older (pediatric tested).
• Fragrance-free and allergy-tested for reduced irritation risk.
• Can be used on scalp patches, cheeks, hands and diaper area.
• Avoid use on deep open wounds; consult a healthcare professional when needed.

How should I apply it for fast, effective relief?

Apply to clean, dry skin as often as needed. For everyday dryness use a thin layer; for very dry or cracked patches, apply a thicker coating to seal and protect. The balm can be used on face, lips, hands and body — and washes off easily when you choose to cleanse the area.

• Use after cleansing and patting skin dry for best absorption.
• Thin application for daily maintenance; generous layer for repair.
• Reapply through the day on exposed or chafed areas (wind, cold).
• Suitable as a protective layer before sleep or during harsh weather.

Is this product suitable after dermatological procedures?

The balm is accepted for use on non-abraded post-procedure skin and has been tested in sensitive contexts, but it should not be applied to open wounds. Many users find it comforting after minor dermatological treatments when recommended by their clinician. Always follow your practitioner’s guidance for post-care products.

• Tested on sensitive skin and accepted for certain non-abraded post-procedure use.
• Not intended for freshly broken or bleeding skin without professional advice.
• Helps maintain hydration and protect against environmental stressors.
• Compatible with daily skincare routines for ongoing barrier support.

Who is this for? La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5+ is suited for people of all ages with dry, chapped or reactive skin who need a gentle, multi-use barrier cream. It’s a practical option if you want a fragrance-free, pediatric-tested balm for hands, face, lips and body that supports repair and prevents further moisture loss. Choose it when you need a reliable, everyday soothing ointment for both routine care and occasional irritated patches.
