Common questions
Is NIVEA Sun Protect Caring Lip Balm SPF50 fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Aroma") is the 11th of 15 ingredients.
Does NIVEA Sun Protect Caring Lip Balm SPF50 contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is NIVEA Sun Protect Caring Lip Balm SPF50 safe for fungal acne?
It contains 5 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (cetyl palmitate); plant oils & butters (ricinus communis seed oil, hydrogenated rapeseed oil, butyrospermum parkii butter, helianthus annuus seed 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 Protect Caring Lip Balm SPF50 suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
