Common questions
Is NIVEA Irresistibly Smooth Body Lotion fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 23rd of 23 ingredients.
Does NIVEA Irresistibly Smooth Body Lotion contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 3rd of 23 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin. It also contains cetearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is NIVEA Irresistibly Smooth Body Lotion safe for fungal acne?
It contains 7 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (ethylhexyl cocoate, glyceryl stearate se, isopropyl palmitate); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii butter, macadamia integrifolia seed oil); and 2 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.
Is NIVEA Irresistibly Smooth Body Lotion suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance and drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
