Common questions

Is NIVEA Hydro Care Lip Balm SPF15 fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Aroma") is the 18th of 18 ingredients.

Does NIVEA Hydro Care Lip Balm SPF15 contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is NIVEA Hydro Care Lip Balm SPF15 safe for fungal acne?

It contains 6 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate, ascorbyl palmitate); plant oils & butters (ricinus communis seed oil, butyrospermum parkii butter, hydrogenated castor oil); and 1 more. How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
