Nivea deodorant produced in Nigeria not harmful, NAFDAC clarifies

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has said the Nivea BLACK&WHITE Invisible roll-on deodorant (50 ml) manufactured in Nigeria does not contain harmful chemicals.

In an update to an alert issued on 31st October notifying Nigerians of the product’s recall, the agency said it has carried out an investigation on the product, and the Black and White Nivea Roll-on deodorant manufactured in Nigeria does not contain the non-compliant ingredient (BMHCA).

Beiersdorf [Ba-yas-dorf], manufacturers of Nivea, said the use of 2-(4-tert-Bu-tyl-benzyl Propio-mal-de-hyde (LilialTM) in cosmetic products has been banned from European markets since 1st March 2022.

The manufacturer also said all its products have been reformulated to be Lilial-free and that the variant in question was not sold in Nigeria.

The firm also said that all trade partners were informed in advance, and reminded of their duty to remove outdated Lilial products within the legal timeframe, to meet European cosmetic product regulation requirements.
