Nurseries and pre-schools have shared a warning that a range of Nivea’s sun creams for ‘Kids’ now have almond oil in them, advising parents to stop bringing the products into settings, due to some children and staff having nut allergies.
Posts on social media, including Facebook, suggest that specifically, the Nivea Sun Kids ‘Protect & Care 5 in 1 ‘, 50 + sun cream now contains ‘Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil’, otherwise known as almond oil.
It is unknown where the original source of the claim comes from.
