Common questions

Is NIVEA Original Care Caring Lip Balm fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Aroma") is the 12th of 12 ingredients.

Does NIVEA Original Care Caring Lip Balm contain alcohol?

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

Is NIVEA Original Care Caring Lip Balm safe for fungal acne?

It contains 5 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin c derivate)); plant oils & butters (helianthus annuus hybrid oil (sun flower oil), hydrogenated rapeseed oil, butyrospermum parkii butter (shea butter), helianthus annuus seed oil (sunflower oil)). 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.
