Some people claim that BHT can pass through the skin and interfere with the human hormone system. A substance that does this is called an “endocrine disruptor”. There are studies that have found BHT to have endocrine effects, but those studies bore little resemblance to reality. They exposed the test subjects to extremely high doses of BHT in a very short time. The concentration of BHT in NIVEA products, in contrast, is very, very low. Research so far does not indicate that cosmetic products or their ingredients have any harmful influence on the human body or our hormone balance. In fact, natural foods like soy have a much higher endocrine activity! Our improved formula provides 24h anti-wrinkle protection against free radical damage and external aggressors. With SPF 30 benefit from high UV protection helping to prevent age spot formation. The Day cream also replenishes skin with energy to help neutralise damages from the day. We have never used oxybenzone in our European NIVEA sunscreen products as this UV filter does not meet the high standards we set for our sunscreens. Octinoxate has been eliminated from all European NIVEA sun protection products as early as 2016. That means that all European NIVEA sunscreen products were already compliant with the Hawaiian Reef Bill even before its passage in 2018.
There are claims that silicone oils from cosmetics products might damage the environment. The silicones in shampoos, conditioners or other products that get rinsed out go down the drain and end up in the waste water. Silicones are very stable and therefore do not degrade easily. As they are almost insoluble in water and non-toxic we can conclude that they do not pose a risk to the environment. Recently cyclic silicones have been regarded by the European Chemicals Agency as potentially harmful to the environment although other authorities e.g. in USA and Canada consider these cyclic silicones as safe. These cyclic silicones (namely D5 and D6) should not be confused with the majority of other silicones which do not fall in this group and are considered safe to the environment as they neither bioaccumulate nor are toxic to living things according to current knowledge. The formula is specifically developed to reduce 3 types of wrinkles: Forehead wrinkles by 21%*, crow's feet by 27%*, plus cheek & mouth area wrinkles by 13%*.
BHT has a long history of safe use, and not just in cosmetic products. The World Health Organization did an in-depth examination that found BHT to be suitable for use in food. So it’s even safe to eat! What’s more (or less, as it were): cosmetics contain a clearly lower concentration of BHT than foods. BHT has been used around the world in cosmetic products for decades and has proven safe and highly tolerable – there has been no indication that it may cause allergies, either. Sunshine is generally good for our wellbeing. The sun’s rays promote the production of the happiness hormone serotonin, so the sun makes us happy. Sun rays give us a beautiful glow and stimulate the skin’s vitamin D production, which is particularly important for bone stability and our health in general. But so called UVA and UVB rays in sunlight can also have negative effects on our skin. UVB rays penetrate the upper layer of the skin and are responsible for painful sunburn. Because of their high energy levels, UVB rays can directly damage DNA which in the worst case can lead to skin cancer. UVA rays penetrate the skin more deeply. Although we are usually not aware of them because they aren’t painful, they form free radicals which are able to damage cells and DNA which may lead to skin cancer. UVA-induced free radical stress can lead to allergies and skin ageing: about 80% of wrinkles are caused by UVA light!
Research into UV filters and their environmental impact is still in its early stages, however, and has so far mainly been conducted in laboratories. There is therefore no scientific clarity as yet on the extent to which UV filters impact coral reefs and the wider marine environment under real life conditions. It's always been a worldwide wish to use a reliable sun protection product during sun exposure without having to miss out on a beautiful, natural tan. With NIVEA SUN Protect & Bronze, this is now possible. Thanks to the Pro Melanin extract in the formula, the skin cells´ melanin production is activated significantly, while the skin is protected from UVA/UVB rays. Finally, reliable sun protection and a beautiful tan can work together!

Many ingredients would become rancid if they reacted with the oxygen in the environment. BHT protects these ingredients against oxidation and makes them last longer.
