Solutions & treatments
Especially created for damaged hands with micro-fissures and cracks, Cicabio’s new hand repair balm from Laboratoire BIODERMA combines immediate relieving and protection with lasting repair.
With Cicabio Mains, Laboratoire BIODERMA provides an effective solution for damaged hands that also – and especially – respects skin, thanks to NAOS’ ecobiologial approach. This unique balm, which spreads on like a second skin, strengthens the barrier function and optimises skin repair, while also relieving immediately any sensations of discomfort. Once the balm has been applied, it’s possible to go back to daily activities, without undermining the repair process.
Many people suffer from damaged hands for a number of reasons, which has a direct impact on work, social relations and leisure activities. Within the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the problem of damaged hands has grown. With Cicabio Mains, BIODERMA has created an effective care that targets this problem and is inspired by ecobiological principles. Applied between hand washings, this balm is effective both immediately and in the longer term. It is also safe and adapted to our current way of life.
When the skin on hands is damaged, the most basic of gestures can become painful. Even daily hygiene, vital to health, aggravates feelings of discomfort. Cicabio Mains’ prime objective is therefore to relieve, protect and repair chapped and cracked hands with split skin.
Protect and relieve immediately
The most pressing urgency for damaged hands is to protect it from external irritants and to relieve immediately all sensations of discomfort and pain.
Repair skin lastingly
Once skin has been relieved and protected, Cicabio Mains helps it repair and restore itself, for lasting results.
Whereas a traditional hand cream acts as a simple moisturiser, Cicabio Mains is different in that it provides complete care for damaged hands, relieving and protecting on contact and repairing over the long term.

AntalgicineTM is directly inspired by our biological mechanisms that regulate pain. The different active ingredients work on several levels to produce favourable conditions for repair: creating a humid environment, supporting the restoration of the skin barrier and rebuilding cells.
Let’s zoom in on Cicabio Mains’ unique biological mode of action
Immediate relieving action thanks to Antalgicine™, exclusive to BIODERMA
Antalgicine™ is an exclusive biomimetic technology that is included in all repairing creams from BIODERMA’s Cicabio range. Inspired by kyotorphin, it acts on the perception of pain, immediately relieving feelings of discomfort that result from damaged skin.
Immediate protective action
The combination of hyaluronic acid and biomimetic lipids creates an insulating biomimetic barrier. Omega 9 found in shea butter reinforces the skin barrier.
Lasting repairing action
Two complementary restructuring agents (Lipo-AA and Lipo-Koline) promote skin repair at different levels: they strengthen the barrier function to help damaged skin repair itself, including micro-fissures and cracks.
Laboratoire BIODERMA has met the challenges of formulating a protective and relieving hand balm that is highly effective in terms of skin repair, and that also has a highly pleasing texture.
1. Immediate comfort
Cicabio Mains immediately relieves any feelings of discomfort, even when hands are cracked, and skin is split.
2. Immediate protection, 8-hour moisturising
With each application, Cicabio Mains creates a ‘plaster’ effect that insulates skin from irritants while also letting it breathe. Spreading on like a second skin, it leaves a water resistant film, even after washing hands. Cicabio Mains’ nourishing and moisturising properties last up to eight hours after applying.
3. Pleasure of use
Cicabio Mains’ texture makes it easy to apply and it absorbs quickly. It brings lasting comfort to skin, without being greasy or sticky. The insides of hands are dry to the touch and never slippery, so that you can immediately go back to any type of activity.
4. Optimal tolerance
Priority is placed on biomimetic ingredients for the formula, in perfect affinity with the skin. Designed especially for applying to damaged hands, Cicabio Mains spreads gently, without creating any feelings of discomfort or stinging. Containing no perfume, tolerance and optimal respect for weakened skin is guaranteed.
5. Lasting repair
Cicabio Mains strengthens the skin’s barrier function over time and therefore helps to repair skin in a lasting way.
