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

Product Information

Have you ever wondered about the difference between antiperspirants and deodorants? Deodorants merely prevent bad odors when you sweat while antiperspirants actually prevent sweating. They do it with the help of aluminum chlorohydrate, which causes the sweat glands under your arms to constrict. This way, you sweat less so there will be no wet spots on your clothes and no unpleasant body odor.

Titanium dioxide is a mineral-based, white substance used as pigment in sunscreen, food coloring and other areas. Nanopigments of this substance are tiny particles – a million times smaller than a grain of sand. Titanium dioxide nanopigments are used in cosmetics as mineral (or physical) UV filter. Applied to the skin, they reflect and scatter UV rays and help to protect the skin against sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer.

BHT is an antioxidant used in foods and cosmetics. Many ingredients would become rancid if they reacted with the oxygen in the environment. BHT protects these ingredients against oxidation and makes them last longer.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. 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. Children (ages 3-5) require at least 10-15ml - for more details on keeping young ones safe, read NIVEA’s children’s sunscreen advice. As our skin ages, the Q10 levels in our skin cells rapidly decrease. There are also other factors that lower the Q10 level, including stress, certain drugs, and UV radiation. Foods like meat, eggs, fish, nuts, potatoes, broccoli, and spinach are good sources of Q10. Topical application of appropriate cosmetic formulations containing the skin’s own coenzyme Q10 verifiably replenishes the skin's Q10 depot. This supports the energy metabolism of skin cells and reduces the number of free radicals. For NIVEA, Eucerit is doubly special. Not only is it an effective emulsifier, but also a key ingredient of our iconic NIVEA Creme. In fact, it was the discovery of Eucerit in the early 20th century that allowed the NIVEA Creme inventors Oscar Troplowitz, Dr. Paul Gerson Unna and Isaac Lifschütz to create their snow-white, stable skin cream. The new product revolutionized the cosmetics world. NIVEA Creme was state of the art over 100 years ago and still is an icon today.
