Common questions
Is NIVEA SUN Kids Protect & Care Trigger Sun Spray SPF 50+ fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 31st of 31 ingredients.
Does NIVEA SUN Kids Protect & Care Trigger Sun Spray SPF 50+ contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol denat., a drying alcohol, is the 2nd of 31 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 Protect & Care Trigger Sun Spray SPF 50+ safe for fungal acne?
It contains 5 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl palmitate, glyceryl stearate, cetyl palmitate, diisostearoyl polyglyceryl-3 dimer dilinoleate); 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 Protect & Care Trigger Sun Spray SPF 50+ 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.
Is there a dupe for NIVEA SUN Kids Protect & Care Trigger Sun Spray SPF 50+?
The closest formula from another brand in our catalogue is Eucerin Oil Control Dry Touch Sun Cream SPF50+ (42% ingredient overlap, 8 of the top 10 ingredients in common). A similar ingredient list doesn't guarantee the same concentrations, texture or results.
