La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Fragrance-Free Balm — Soothes & Protects Sensitive Skin

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 is a fragrance-free, pediatric-tested multi-purpose ointment that soothes, hydrates, and protects dry, chafed, or irritated skin for adults, children and babies.

Designed for sensitive and reactive skin, this rich yet non-greasy balm combines panthenol (Vitamin B5), shea butter, glycerin, and madecassoside (Centella Asiatica) to support the skin’s moisture barrier while providing immediate comfort. It’s free from parabens, lanolin, steroids and added fragrance, and is clinically tested to be safe for babies one week and older. Use it anywhere dryness, rubbing, or wetness has stressed the skin—face, body, hands, lips, or diaper area—to help restore softness and reduce discomfort.

How does Cicaplast Balm B5 soothe and protect irritated skin?

Cicaplast Balm B5 uses a combination of humectants, emollients and madecassoside to calm irritation and reinforce the skin’s barrier. The formulation helps retain moisture and forms a light protective layer that reduces friction and seals out excess wetness where needed.

• Panthenol (Vitamin B5) to support skin repair and soothe redness.
• Shea butter and glycerin to hydrate and soften rough areas.
• Madecassoside and trace minerals (Cu-Zn-Mn) to comfort reactive skin.
• Non-greasy finish that can be layered under other products or fabrics.

Can I use this balm on babies and sensitive areas like the diaper region?

Yes—this balm is formulated and tested for pediatric safety and is suitable for babies from one week old. It temporarily protects against wetness and helps relieve chafing or redness from diapers while supporting natural barrier recovery.

• Fragrance-free and paraben-free for minimal irritation risk.
• Seals out moisture to reduce friction and diaper-related rubbing.
• Apply a thin, even layer after cleansing and drying the area.

How should I apply Cicaplast Balm B5 for best results?

Apply to clean, dry skin as needed—generally once or multiple times daily depending on severity. A generous layer works for severely chapped areas; a thinner layer is fine for maintenance or under makeup and clothing.

• Cleanse and pat skin dry before application.
• Massage gently into face, hands, lips, body, or diaper area, avoiding eyes.
• Reapply after washing or when skin feels tight or irritated.

Will this balm feel heavy or interfere with other skincare products?

Cicaplast Balm B5 has a rich texture that absorbs without leaving a greasy residue, so it layers well under moisturizers, sunscreens, or clothing. It’s intended to be compatible with sensitive skin routines and can be used alongside prescribed topical treatments if advised by a clinician.

• Non-greasy finish suitable for daytime or nighttime use.
• Works under makeup or over actives; patch-test if combining with prescription topicals.
• Safe for daily maintenance to prevent recurring dryness.

Who is this for: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 is ideal for anyone with dry, chafed, or reactive skin seeking a simple, dermatologist-backed solution. It’s especially useful for parents looking for a gentle, pediatric-tested protective cream, people recovering from skin irritation caused by environmental exposure or friction, and anyone who wants a fragrance-free barrier balm to maintain skin comfort and hydration.
