Thanks mimi,
I looked up paraffinum liquidum and it has so many names under it. I did find mineral oil as one of them after a few searches. It is wonderful on the face and body too

actually the german version does contain mineral oil. It is listed in the ingredients list as paraffinum liquidum. That being said the german version is wonderful for the face.

Hi Teri,
You paid $9 at the dollar store? Actually, I thinkI heard somewhere that they were going to charge more than a dollar on certain items at dollar stores. That’s a good deal. I think the giant one I bought here locally was around $8 I cant remember. Nice find!

I bought my Nivea Germany at the dollar store in Canada for $9 for a monster size tin!

Hi Bobbie,
You can get the German made Nivea in a tin at Smallflower.com. I purchased my first Nivea tin from smallflower, before finding a German store that carries it locally. Here’s the link: http://www.smallflower.com/nivea/nivea.html

thank you so much for doing this research!! I have been using Nivea since 1966 in Japan and it was made in Germany in the tin. I loved it. But I cannot find the tin and German made Nivea in the USA. Do you know how to order the original one?? Once again thank you for your reseach. Bobbie
