Nivea Men Sensitive Shower Gel, 4 Pack 4 x 250 ml (Personal Care)

Customer Review

The shower gel was meant for my husband, who actually has no discerning nose (he reads here yes not with, because we must the review). On the ingredients, I have nothing to complain about first times that are really sensitive, but the smell.
I do not know what is supposed to represent the smell, somehow soap or something? Smells more like detergent, almost flowery, and my husband wrinkled according to the nose, "that I do not shower."
We both miss here a fresh-herb-subtle fragrance that otherwise characterizes men's care products, for example by Florena, or Speick. But otherwise a good wash, and make a recommendation if a like the smell.

On the internet and even on the Nivea website still haunts around the old package with the old ingredients. Here in the sensitive version without alcohol No parabens are definitely there.
The ingredients, thanks to code check at this point: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, glycerin, glyceryl glucoside, Bambusa Vulgaris Leaf Stem Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Sodium Chloride, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, PEG -40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Polyquaternium-7, Styrene / Acrylates Copolymer, Citric Acid, PEG-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate, glyceryl palmate, glyceryl stearate SE, Sodium Benzoate, Linalool, Limonene, Parfum

Addendum: you never stop learning. Used to be the villain silicone, so it is now the Polyquaternium (included here). It is used as a thickening agent, and apparently produces the gel look. It is also used as a film former, and causes spots on the order had come into contact laundering. And in the sewage treatment plant there is also reduced insufficiently. At least it seems but no trigger Allergieen insofar as the shower gel is already sensitive. I can recommend it but not so.
