Common questions
Is NIVEA Hand Cream Intensive Nourishing Moisturiser fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 22nd of 22 ingredients.
Does NIVEA Hand Cream Intensive Nourishing 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 Hand Cream Intensive Nourishing Moisturiser safe for fungal acne?
It contains 5 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (glyceryl stearate, glyceryl stearate se, hydrogenated coco-glycerides); plant oils & butters (butyrospermum parkii butter, prunus amygdalus dulcis 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 Hand Cream Intensive Nourishing Moisturiser suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
