Common questions
Is NIVEA Repair & Care 18% Glycerin & Urea 72h Body Moisturiser fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 21st of 21 ingredients.
Does NIVEA Repair & Care 18% Glycerin & Urea 72h Body Moisturiser contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain stearyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is NIVEA Repair & Care 18% Glycerin & Urea 72h Body Moisturiser safe for fungal acne?
It contains 3 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate, hydrogenated coco-glycerides, peg-40 stearate). 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 Repair & Care 18% Glycerin & Urea 72h Body Moisturiser suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance and lactic acid, an exfoliating acid, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
