Common questions
Is NIVEA SUN Kids Daily Sensitive UV Sun Cream fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients. NIVEA also describes it as fragrance-free.
Does NIVEA SUN Kids Daily Sensitive UV Sun Cream contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 2nd of 33 ingredients, high enough to be a main ingredient. It makes products feel light and dry quickly, but can dry out or irritate sensitive skin.
Is NIVEA SUN Kids Daily Sensitive UV Sun Cream safe for fungal acne?
It contains 5 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl palmitate, glyceryl stearate, c18-38 alkyl hydroxystearoyl stearate, cetyl palmitate); plant oils & butters (hydrogenated rapeseed 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.
Is NIVEA SUN Kids Daily Sensitive UV Sun Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains drying alcohol high in the list, which can bother sensitive skin. NIVEA says it's made for sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
Is there a dupe for NIVEA SUN Kids Daily Sensitive UV Sun Cream?
The closest formula from another brand in our catalogue is Eucerin Oil Control Dry Touch Sun Cream SPF50+ (37% ingredient overlap, 9 of the top 10 ingredients in common). A similar ingredient list doesn't guarantee the same concentrations, texture or results.
