Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterAluminum Chlorohydrate has astringent, deodorant, antiperspirant, and water purifying properties.
Due to its astringent properties, this ingredient may be drying.
Aluminum chlorohydrate is one of the most common active ingredients found in antiperspirants. It works by temporarily blocking sweat ducts, reducing the amount of sweat that reaches the surface of the skin.
Despite its long history of use, rumors and misconceptions about aluminum chlorohydrate persist.
Scientific consensus and major health organizations have repeatedly concluded that aluminum chlorohydrate, when used as directed in cosmetic products like antiperspirants, is safe.
The persistent rumors connecting aluminum chlorohydrate to cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, or “toxin buildup” are not supported by credible evidence.
If you’re comfortable with aluminum-based antiperspirants, there is no scientifically backed reason to fear them.
If you prefer to avoid them, plenty of aluminum-free options exist - but that choice usually comes down to personal preference rather than proven health risks.
Learn more about Aluminum ChlorohydrateIsoceteth-20 comes from Isocetyl Alcohol. It is an emulsifier. Emulsifiers help stabilize a product. It does this by preventing certain ingredients from separating.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
- It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
- It has mild preservative properties.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Glyceryl Isostearate is a mixture made from glycerin and isostearic acid.
It is an emollient, meaning it helps keep your skin hydrated and soft. This ingredient is also used to make the texture of a product thicker.
Glyceryl Isostearate may not be fungal acne safe.

Also called "fragrance", this ingredient can be a blend of hundreds of chemicals or plant oils. This means every product with "fragrance" or "parfum" in the ingredients list is a different mixture.
For instance, Habanolide is a proprietary trade name for a specific aroma chemical. When used as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics, most aroma chemicals fall under the broad labeling category of “FRAGRANCE” or “PARFUM” according to EU and US regulations.
The term 'parfum' or 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term.
For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance by INCI standards.
One example is Calendula flower extract. Calendula is an essential oil that still imparts a scent or 'fragrance'.
Depending on the blend, the ingredients in the mixture can cause allergies and sensitivities on the skin. Some ingredients that are known EU allergens include linalool and citronellol.
Parfum can also be used to mask or cover an unpleasant scent.
The bottom line is: not all fragrances/parfum/ingredients are created equally. If you are worried about fragrances, we recommend taking a closer look at an ingredient. And of course, we always recommend speaking with a professional.

Peg-150 Distearate is an emulsifier and thickening agent. It is created from stearic acid.
As an emulsifier, peg-150 distearate helps other ingredients dissolve. This helps prevent ingredient separation.
This ingredient may not be Malassezia folliculitis, or fungal-acne safe.
Learn more about PEG-150 DistearateBenzyl Alcohol is most commonly used as a preservative. It also has a subtle, sweet smell. Small amounts of Benzyl Alcohol is not irritating and safe to use in skincare products. Most Benzyl Alcohol is derived from fruits such as apricots.
Benzyl Alcohol has both antibacterial and antioxidant properties. These properties help lengthen the shelf life of products. Benzyl Alcohol is a solvent and helps dissolve other ingredients. It can also improve the texture and spreadability.
Alcohol comes in many different forms. Different types of alcohol will have different effects on skin. This ingredient is an astringent alcohol.
Using high concentrations of these alcohols are drying on the skin. They may strip away your skin's natural oils and even damage your skin barrier. Astringent alcohols may also irritate skin.
Other types of astringent alcohols include:
According to the National Rosacea Society based in the US, you should be mindful of products with these alcohols in the top half of ingredients.
Any type of sanitizing product will have high amounts of alcohol to help kill bacteria and viruses.

I really like this Nivea antiperspirant. It has a light, pleasant scent, making it perfect for nighttime use. It provides better protection than regular deodorants but doesn’t last as long as other antiperspirants during the day. What I appreciate most is that it doesn’t cause stains on my clothes, which is a big plus. Overall, it’s a great option for gentle, effective nighttime protection.
Perhaps the only product from Nivea that actually works. It’s a bloody deodorant!
