Common questions

Is NIVEA Original Care Lip Balm healthy?

NIVEA Original Care Lip Balm scores 50/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in NIVEA Original Care Lip Balm?

NIVEA Original Care Lip Balm lists 16 ingredients, starting with Cera Alba, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Octyldodecanol, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil and Cetearyl Alcohol. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does NIVEA Original Care Lip Balm contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in NIVEA Original Care Lip Balm’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is NIVEA Original Care Lip Balm?

NIVEA Original Care Lip Balm has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does NIVEA Original Care Lip Balm compare to other lip balm & care?

At 50/100 NIVEA Original Care Lip Balm lands mid-scale — below the typical score in lip balm & care, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in lip balm & care is Dr. Bronner's Organic Lip Balm - Orange Ginger at 100/100.
