Loved on the hardest days

“The only thing getting me through work right now”
I usually spend my periods curled up in a ball popping midol all day. I bought this on a late night doom scroll. It doesnt cure everything but honestly putting this on and grabbing my heating pad is the only thing getting me through work right now.

“A little goes a really long way”
$28 felt steep but a little goes a really long way. Been using it for 2 cycles and barely made a dent. Good for the first 48 hours of your period.

It’s nice. I don't think anything completely gets rid of my cramps but this icy hot feeling definitely distracts me from the pain. Wish it was a little cheaper but it is what it is.

Good to know
Bundles, shipping and our Two-Cycle Promise — the quick answers before you order.
Do you offer bundles?
Yes. Save 11% with 2 jars (and get free shipping), or 21% with 3 jars — enough for about six months of cycles.
What if it doesn't work for me?
You're covered by our Two-Cycle Promise: try Cyclica through two full cycles (60 days from delivery). If it doesn't earn a place in your routine, email us and we'll refund your first order — no need to send back opened jars, even if they're empty. Unopened extra jars from a bundle can be returned for a refund too. Full policy
How long does one jar last?
Most people get two to three cycles out of one jar, depending on how often they reapply. A little goes a long way.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship within 1 business day and arrive in 3–7 business days. We currently ship within the US only, and shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.
What does it feel and smell like?
A gentle warmth from ginger and clove, followed by a fresh, cooling touch from camphor and peppermint. It smells softly herbal and minty — from essential oils, never synthetic fragrance.
Can I use it if I have sensitive skin?
It's made with gentle plant oils and butters, but essential oils can be sensitizing for some people. We recommend a small patch test before first use. Avoid contact with eyes and broken skin.
Can I use it while pregnant or nursing?
No. Cyclica is not intended for use during pregnancy or while nursing. For external use only, and keep out of reach of children.
