Nivea is one of the world's most recognizable skin care brands, famous for its blue tin and moisturizing formulas. Its original product, Nivea Creme, was developed in 1911 by Eucerit, the first water-in-oil emulsifier which allowed for a stable cream base. The brand name stems from the Latin words 'nix, nivis', meaning snow, reflecting the pure white color of the cream.
While the brand has a deep German heritage and maintains significant production facilities in Hamburg, it is a global entity with manufacturing sites and distribution networks across Europe, Asia, and the Americas to serve local markets.
Ownership has remained consistently German throughout most of its history. It is the flagship brand of Beiersdorf AG, a multinational corporation based in Hamburg. Beiersdorf continues to lead the brand's innovation in dermal research, maintaining its status as a market leader in the personal hygiene and cosmetic sectors worldwide.
