Nivea Original Care Lip Balm

Fragrance-free means no perfume in the ingredient list. On a label perfume shows up as Parfum or Fragrance, as essential oils, and often as named allergens like Limonene and Linalool that brands have to declare in the EU.

No, Nivea Original Care Lip Balm is not fragrance-free. It lists fragrance allergens (Linalool, Citronellol and Citral) that usually come from essential oils or a perfume blend.

This is not a safety warning. Perfume suits most people, but if your skin reacts or you are patch testing, this is the line you came for.
