NIVEA Rich Care Shower Oil

Nivea is a historic German personal care brand founded in 1911 in Hamburg by Dr. Oscar Troplowitz, based on a revolutionary stable oil-and-water emulsion developed with chemist Isaac Lifschütz and dermatologist Paul Gerson Unna. The brand name is derived from the Latin word 'niveus', meaning snow-white.

Today, Nivea is the flagship brand of Beiersdorf AG, a German multinational company specializing in skin care. Beiersdorf is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. This specific product, the Rich Care Shower Oil, is primarily manufactured in Germany, maintaining the brand's long-standing connection to its country of origin.

Beiersdorf AG is a publicly traded company on the DAX index, but its ultimate ownership is controlled by the German holding company Maxingvest AG (the parent company of the Tchibo group), which is owned by the Herz family. Maxingvest holds a majority stake of approximately 51%, ensuring long-term stable ownership of the Nivea brand by German interests.
