No. Equine Placental Protein is animal-derived, so Richita products containing it are not vegan.

It refers to Cathy’s placenta-skincare heritage beginning with the Plaskin series in 1964. It does not mean Richita’s current equine ingredient or finished formulas have remained unchanged since 1964.

No. Richita products are cosmetics intended to cleanse, moisturize, condition and improve visible appearance. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

For the best experience, we recommend following a complete Richita routine without layering skincare products from other brands in the same routine. Combining multiple formulas may introduce ingredient incompatibilities, over-layering or an increased risk of irritation. Introduce Richita products gradually, follow the recommended routine and discontinue use if irritation occurs. During the day, always finish with a suitable broad-spectrum sunscreen. If you use prescription skincare or are under a dermatologist’s care, consult your healthcare provider before changing your routine.

Suitability depends on the complete finished formula, not one ingredient alone. Review the full ingredient list and patch-test according to product directions, especially if skin is sensitive or reactive.

Cosmetic products and cosmetic ingredients generally do not receive FDA premarket approval, except for color additives. Richita remains responsible for product safety substantiation, truthful labeling and applicable U.S. compliance.
