Nivea Repair & Protect Lip Balm SPF 15

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Nivea Repair & Protect Lip Balm SPF 15 scores 31/100 on Tallow — our avoid 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.

Nivea Repair & Protect Lip Balm SPF 15 lists 19 ingredients, starting with Aqua, Octyldodecanol, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus Seed Cera and Hydrogenated Rapeseed Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 31/100 Nivea Repair & Protect Lip Balm SPF 15 scores worse than most sunscreen we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sunscreen is Tallow & Zinc Sunscreen at 100/100.
