Nivea Creme, 250 ml

Made for the European market. This is the European formulation, sold under EU cosmetics rules, which prohibit or restrict well over a thousand substances where the American list of outright bans runs to about a dozen. Formaldehyde, hydroquinone and several parabens are not permitted in it. It is not the same product as the American version sold under the same name — customers who grew up with it tell us they can tell.

The large blue tin of the original Nivea Creme — the size that sits on the shelf all winter.

• All-purpose cream for face, hands and body
• Rich, classic formula with panthenol and glycerin
• Large 250 ml tin
