Our review
A rich, perfumed body milk based on mineral oil and glycerin; the ingredient list in our database includes lilial, which points to an older formula.
Packaging and what the product is
A 400 ml bottle of Nivea’s nourishing body milk for dry skin. We have no licensed product photo for this entry.
Ingredient analysis
The base is water with paraffinum liquidum (mineral oil), isohexadecane and isopropyl palmitate as emollients, microcrystalline wax for body and glycerin as the humectant. Sweet almond oil and glyceryl glucoside are the care ingredients. The emulsion is a water-in-oil type, stabilised with magnesium sulfate and sea salt. Potassium sorbate preserves it, and the list ends with perfume and several named fragrance allergens.
What to watch out for
The list in our database contains butylphenyl methylpropional (lilial), which has been prohibited in cosmetics in the EU since March 2022. This means the record reflects an older formula; current bottles sold in the EU should not contain it, so check the label. The product also contains linalool, limonene, benzyl alcohol, geraniol, citronellol and alpha-isomethyl ionone – fragrance allergens named above EU thresholds.
What users say
On Lyko the closely related Nivea Rich Nourishing Body Lotion in a 400 ml pump bottle had an average of 4.7/5 from 41 reviews (checked 30 October 2026). Reviewers mostly praise long-lasting moisturisation, softness and value for money; some find it thick and slow to absorb. The shop’s skin advisor noted that the perfume makes it less suitable for sensitive or atopic skin.
Who it may suit
People with dry, non-sensitive skin who like a rich lotion and the classic Nivea scent. Those with fragrance allergies or atopic skin should choose a fragrance-free product.
