Product overview
NIVEA Creme (150ml) is the classic all-purpose moisturizing cream from NIVEA, sold worldwide in its signature tin.
Sourcing note: the ingredient list below is confirmed identically across NIVEA's own official India and US regional sites. One third-party ingredient database consulted omits one ingredient (Sodium Anisate) that both official brand sites include -- per source priority, the two agreeing official sites are treated as authoritative here. This is the same universal NIVEA Creme formula sold globally in various sizes; size-specific (150ml) formula parity was not independently re-confirmed beyond the official listings checked, though no formula difference by size is expected for this iconic product.
