Nivea Women Deodorant Roll On 50ml (1.69oz), Pack of 6

What's the verdict?

• Aqua (Water) (Solvent)

  Serves as the base for the roll-on formula, dissolving other ingredients for easy application; completely safe for topical use with no adverse health effects, non-allergenic and helps maintain skin hydration.

• Aluminum Chlorohydrate (Antiperspirant Active)Caution

  Blocks sweat glands to provide long-lasting dryness and odor protection; effective but raises concerns for potential links to breast cancer and neurological issues due to aluminum, though evidence is limited; may irritate sensitive skin.

• PPG-15 Stearyl Ether (Emollient)

  Softens skin and improves texture of the product; generally safe but can cause mild irritation or allergic reactions in individuals with sensitive skin.

• Steareth-2 (Emulsifier/Surfactant)Caution

  Stabilizes the emulsion of oil and water; considered safe for most but as an ethoxylated compound, may contain trace impurities like 1,4-dioxane which is a potential carcinogen, though levels are regulated.

• Parfum (Fragrance)Caution

  Adds a fresh feminine scent; undisclosed mixture that can include allergens leading to contact dermatitis or respiratory issues in sensitive people; no direct health benefit.

• Glyceryl Caprylate (Skin Conditioning/Preservative)Beneficial

  Helps condition the skin and acts as a natural preservative; derived from glycerin and caprylic acid, beneficial as it is moisturizing and has antimicrobial properties with low irritation potential.

• Sodium Benzoate (Preservative)

  Inhibits microbial growth to keep the product safe; generally recognized as safe but can cause irritation in high amounts or when combined with certain ingredients; caution for those with sensitivities though topical exposure is minimal.
