Volume: 50 ml
It is possible to call this deodorant the business card of Nivea along with classical cream in a blue jar. And, most likely, it is the best-seller. Because at most of women purity is associated with transparent structure. And at me too. And when I choose a deodorant for every day, among various color, bright and unusual packings I will give preference to the most neutral means.
It is necessary to investigate, whether so it actually. There corresponds my stereotype to reality?
Transparent
I will begin not with packing and structure, and with what is evident first of all. It is almost transparent! And clean, without any impurity, suspensions and so forth. It is visible to the naked eye.
However, if to shake, then liquid is filled with bubbles (big and small), it gives some turbidity. But if packing not to disturb, and to leave on a shelf in the bathroom, the structure will remain almost transparent. Impresses!
Packing
One more strength of the German brand – good packings. They are convenient, it is pleasant to hold them in hand, each detail is made qualitatively, with attention and the German quality. A thread is never stripped, the lid never comes off and does not burst, the ball does not bring and well rotates, the label does not get down … Generally to carp there is definitely nothing. And this not ideal form of a cylinder allows a roller not to slip out and to remain reliably in hands.
Perhaps, this product is a little rather heavy, this glass, but not plastic. In a tiny handbag it can cause inconveniences. In all other cases such approach is pleasant to me: it is friendly to the nature, it is reliable, and still flew down always a little cold, and it adds some cooling effect when using a roller.
Structure
Never saw such short list of ingredients at deodorants! Only 8 ingredients. Studied them all. There are my conclusions:
- Aqua. Water-based structure and whether it is worth saying that this component is absolutely harmless?
- Aluminum Chlorohydrate. Hydrochloride of aluminum represents salt. It is used often in deodorants to reduce sweating and unpleasant smells. This component is recognized as safe for skin, but can cause irritation if to use on the injured skin.
- Isoceteth-20. Emulsifier and surfactant. In general, not dangerous ingredient, but there is an individual intolerance.
- Paraffinum Liquidum. This mineral oil, and it is necessary as the anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredient. But it is necessary to know that on it there is an individual intolerance, and it is undesirable to apply it in the period of a lactation and pregnancy.
- Butylene glycol. Butylene glycol is solvent that the structure was more pliable and liquid, did not get thick. Butylene glycol can cause slight irritation of skin in some people.
- Gliceryl Isostearate. The emulsifier preventing division of water and oil ingredients. It is safe.
- Parfum. Unfortunately, Nivea went on the way of many cosmetic brands, and does not open the concept "fragrance" or Parfum (fragrance) in any way. Because both the natural fragrance, and synthetic can be behind this word (identical to natural). But in general fragrances are not dangerous to normal skin. And here, for sensitive is a problem. Is also individual intolerance.
- PEG-150 Distearate. Synthetic polymer, viscosity regulator. In this case it is used as emulsifier 9a in detergents is applied as surfactant). Irritations of skin are possible!
I summarize. The structure is short, it is good and it is even unusual to deodorants. But to speak about structure which absolutely safe, - it is not absolutely correct. The structure can irritate very sensitive skin. Unfortunately. I very much wanted to write that it is a fine and safe product as water … But we will be objective: the irritating ingredients are available.
There is also serious plus: there are no dangerous preservatives, in general such structure does not demand preservatives because there are in it neither dyes, nor natural oils. Most likely, and a fragrance not natural, differently there would be some known preservative. Yes, it is pure structure, with the reservation that does not suit allergic persons, pregnant women and the feeding mothers.
On skin
The smell is pleasant, neutral. Closer to citrus. Really does not leave marks: neither on skin, nor on clothes. However, the clothes need all the same to be protected, put on not at once. The matter is that the structure dries not at once (still! it without gases and alcohols!), 1 minute or will be required slightly more (up to 2 minutes). In comparison with Rexona or Yves Rocher, this deodorant dries longer. But personally it does not confuse me because after all, at all doubts in structure, a deodorant "with Nivea Invisible Protection" - water-based means and without alcohol (namely alcohols allow means quicker to dry on skin).
About action duration. 48 hours it does not keep. And even 24 hours do not keep. But the whole working day, and quite active, will precisely protect. Apply once since morning and do not worry till the evening. The fragrance will long not distract and "argue" with perfume. But the feeling of freshness and purity will hold on all day. The skin is not irritated, will be thawed humidified and smooth.
There is more. It is very economic. I had already two such deodorants (it is republished every year), but any was not used to a last straw. There passes the end of a period of storage, and I throw out it (and in a roller nearly a third more of a deodorant). The structure is used very economically, the thinnest layer and does not demand repeated application during the day.
