Nivea - Sun Protect & Moisture Moisturising Sun Cream Lotion - Spf 10 Low - 200ml

Product Information

True to our belief we are using only the ingredients needed in a responsible and restrictive manner. NIVEA includes BHT in less than 10 percent of our products. When we use it, the concentrations are very low – lower than in many foods, actually! BHT makes some of our creams and lotions, lip care, shaving gels, and shower oils last longer. Without the antioxidant, the natural oils and other ingredients would get rancid, become less beneficial and smell funny. Very small traces of BHT may also be found in other perfumed products. This is because the perfume manufacturers who supply the perfumed oils use BHT to protect them against oxidation and therefore to keep the fragrance appeal.

PEG compounds can perform several functions at once. As emulsifiers, they make sure that oil and water mix and form nice, smooth creams and lotions. They allow perfume oils to dissolve in water-based products. In shampoos and shower gels, they help create supple foam. As emollients, PEG compounds soften and moisturize the skin. Some of these multi-taskers also have a cleansing effect. Apart from the cosmetic industry, PEG compounds are used in pharmaceutical and medical fields.Most cosmetics products are composed of oily and watery parts. Making them blend into a smooth, creamy and stable texture is one of the greatest challenges in the world of cosmetics. Many early emulsifiers only keep oil and water together as long as the temperature doesn’t change. This is why the discovery of Eucerit was a milestone in skin care development. Made from purified wool fat, Eucerit (“the beautiful wax”) keeps emulsions stable even under extreme climatic conditions. Several active ingredients are used in NIVEA SUN products. Panthenol, for example, is a B-Vitamin the body is not able to produce itself and is known to support the skin‘s regeneration and to improve its moisturization. Research into UV filters and their environmental impact is still in its early stages, however, and has so far mainly been conducted in laboratories. There is therefore no scientific clarity as yet on the extent to which UV filters impact coral reefs and the wider marine environment under real life conditions. Our improved formula provides 24h anti-wrinkle protection against free radical damage and external aggressors. With SPF 30 benefit from high UV protection helping to prevent age spot formation. The Day cream also replenishes skin with energy to help neutralise damages from the day. Film formers, e.g. VP/Hexadecene Copolymer, are used to ensure that the sunscreen forms a continuous waterproof film on the skin, which is critical for products with extra-waterproof UVA and UVB protection.

SPF 50 will give you the best protection, however lower levels are also suitable so long as they are applied correctly and you keep them topped up throughout the day. Every fragrance is a characteristic blend of different substances and scents – the average fragrance contains 30-50 fragrance ingredients. Fragrance ingredients are natural or synthetic perfumes that can be used individually but are usually combined with others to form a specific fragrance. Natural scent compounds are derived from plants (e.g. essential oils) and/or other natural sources while synthetic ones are created in the lab. However, fragrances are usually mixtures of synthetic and natural ingredients.

Numerous studies show that fragrances increase our well-being and have a positive effect on our minds. Depending on the composition, they can have, for example, a calming or energizing effect. Fragrances make cosmetics (and many other products) smell good and distinctive: They impart pleasant odor, mask the smell of some effective but not nice smelling ingredients, enhance the experience of using the product and help us to express our individuality.

Imagine a coat of armor around your body that keeps UV radiation away from your skin. Now imagine this coat of armor made of countless shields so tiny that they are individually invisible (while building in millions a smooth white coat on your skin). That’s how titanium dioxide nanopigments work. Like a shining armor, they reflect UV rays before they can damage the skin and the DNA of skin cells. They act as a mineral UV filter helping to protect you against immediate effects like sunburn as well as long-term hazards like skin cancer, helping to keep your skin healthy and naturally beautiful. BHT has a long history of safe use, and not just in cosmetic products. The World Health Organization did an in-depth examination that found BHT to be suitable for use in food. So it’s even safe to eat! What’s more (or less, as it were): cosmetics contain a clearly lower concentration of BHT than foods. BHT has been used around the world in cosmetic products for decades and has proven safe and highly tolerable – there has been no indication that it may cause allergies, either. The formula is 68% biodegradable and respects the ocean by being free of UV Filters Octinoxate, Oxybenzone & Octocrylene and free of Microplastic. The tube and cap are made from 50% recycled plastic. The folding box cardboard is carefully selected and FSC approved. Preservatives prevent or retard microbial growth thus protect sun protection products from spoilage. NIVEA uses fragrances in most of our products. Our fragrances are carefully composed of natural and synthetic ingredients. In line with our principle not to put anything in our products that doesn’t have to be there, we use fragrances in a very controlled manner. To make sure that every fragrance we use is safe and stable, we have created a special list which defines maximum quantities for certain fragrance ingredients and which provides other binding requirements to ensure quality and safety of all our fragrances, going far beyond existing legal requirements. This so-called restriction list for fragrances applies to every one of our fragrance suppliers.
