Roll-on comparison
Shower to Shower vs Nivea: which roll-on for Kenya?
Nivea is a household name in Kenyan body care and its roll-ons sell in every major supermarket. If you are deciding between a Nivea roll-on and Shower to Shower, this page lays out our specs and price plainly, plus the four things worth checking on any roll-on pack before you pay for it.
Side by side
| Shower to Shower | Nivea | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per bottle | Ksh 370 direct from us | Varies by retailer & variant — check the shelf tag |
| Same bottle in supermarkets | Ksh 435–455 | Stocked in most Kenyan supermarkets |
| Alcohol | 0% alcohol, every scent | Varies by variant — read the pack |
| Protection | 48-hour freshness | Stated on pack, usually 48–72h |
| Sensitive skin | Dermatologically tested, made for sensitive underarms | Some variants are; check the label |
| White marks | Dries clear, no white marks | Varies by variant |
| Delivery in Nairobi | Free same-day in the CBD, Ksh 125 elsewhere in Nairobi | Buy in store, or via a marketplace |
| Gift back on every bottle | Ksh 50 into your gift wallet, grows up to +80% if you save it | — |
We only state what we can verify. Our own prices and specs are exact; the Nivea column stays general on purpose, because its price and formula differ by variant, pack size and retailer. Check the shelf tag and the pack on the day you buy.
What to check on any roll-on before you pay
- 1
Alcohol content
Alcohol evaporates fast and can sting freshly shaved skin. If the ingredients list starts with alcohol denat., expect that sting in Nairobi heat.
- 2
Hours claimed vs hours you get
A 48-hour claim assumes a normal day. If you are on your feet or commuting in traffic, look for antiperspirant salts rather than fragrance alone.
- 3
Price per millilitre, not per bottle
Two roll-ons at the same shelf price can differ by 15ml. Divide before you compare.
- 4
Where the markup sits
A 50ml Shower to Shower bottle is Ksh 435–455 on a supermarket shelf and Ksh 370 direct from us — the difference is retail margin, not product.
Where Shower to Shower lands
Ksh 370 a bottle, 0% alcohol, 48-hour freshness, and Ksh 50 of gift credit back on every bottle you buy. Skip the gift at checkout and it grows — up to 80% more, plus a free gift item at the top of the ladder. That is the part no supermarket shelf can match.
Questions people ask
How much does a Shower to Shower roll-on cost compared with Nivea?
Ours is Ksh 370 direct. Nivea's price depends on the variant and the retailer, so compare the shelf tag on the day — and note that the same Shower to Shower bottle is Ksh 435–455 in supermarkets, so buying direct saves you the retail markup.
Is Shower to Shower alcohol-free?
Yes. Every Shower to Shower roll-on is 0% alcohol and dermatologically tested. Nivea's line-up includes both alcohol-free and alcohol-containing variants, so check the specific pack you are holding.
Do you deliver in Nairobi?
Yes — free same-day delivery inside Nairobi CBD, Ksh 125 to the rest of Nairobi and Ksh 200 upcountry. Orders are confirmed on WhatsApp and paid by M-Pesa on delivery.
