NIVEA Soft Moisturising Cream (500 ml)

Product and Packaging

NIVEA Soft is a widely distributed moisturising cream presented in a blue-and-white tub (the 500 ml size is common). The product is marketed for face, body and hands and the packaging on the image explicitly states “Moisturising Cream” and shows the NIVEA logo and a “New Vegan Formula” claim. The tub design and product name match the global NIVEA Soft formulation that contains jojoba oil and vitamin E for quick absorption and non-greasy hydration.

Product Type and Use

Category: Personal care — Moisturising cream (face | body | hands). This is a general-purpose skin moisturiser sold at mass-market retail and online, typically for everyday use to provide hydration and softening of the skin.

Manufacturing and Distribution

NIVEA is produced in multiple manufacturing sites worldwide. Beiersdorf operates a network of production facilities and uses regional manufacturing and packaging to serve local markets, so individual tubs may be manufactured in different countries depending on the market and supply chain. Therefore the manufacturing origin for a given tub is best treated as "Multiple countries" unless the specific label states a single country of manufacture.

Brand Origin and Ownership

NIVEA is a German brand created by Beiersdorf and first launched in 1911. The brand and its flagship cream originate from Germany and are historically linked to Beiersdorf AG. As of 2026, Beiersdorf AG remains the ultimate owner and global operator of the NIVEA brand, running global marketing, R&D and regional subsidiaries that manage sales, distribution and regulatory affairs.

Notes on Local Labelling

To determine the exact country of manufacture for a particular tub, check the printed manufacturing or "Made in" line on the underside or side of the tub—retail batches destined for different countries are commonly produced or packaged at regional sites. If precise provenance is required for compliance or procurement, request the batch/lot number or supplier traceability from the retailer or Beiersdorf regional office.
