Cien is a private-label beauty and personal care brand owned by Lidl, a major German international discount retailer. Originally created to provide essential skincare and cosmetic products at competitive price points, the brand has grown significantly within the European market and beyond. It is recognized for its broad range of items, including shampoos, moisturizing creams, and sun protection, often winning high marks for quality in consumer testing while maintaining affordability.

As a private label, manufacturing is typically outsourced to third-party contract manufacturers who specialize in cosmetics. While a significant portion of Cien products are produced in Germany to leverage local expertise and supply chains, the brand is also manufactured in various other European locations depending on the specific product category and regional logistics. The brand is managed under the Schwarz Group, which is one of the largest retail groups in the world, ensuring a robust international distribution network through Lidl stores.
