Nivea Blackberry Shine lip balm

Nivea Blackberry Shine is a popular tinted lip balm developed by the German personal care giant Beiersdorf. The brand Nivea was born in 1911 when the company's then-owner, Dr. Oscar Troplowitz, collaborated with chemist Dr. Isaac Lifschütz and dermatologist Paul Gerson Unna to create the first stable oil-and-water-based skin cream using the emulsifier Eucerit. The name Nivea is derived from the Latin word 'niveus', meaning snow-white.

Historically, the brand has expanded from its original Hamburg roots into a global powerhouse. While many Nivea lip care products are manufactured at Beiersdorf's main production facilities in Germany to maintain strict quality standards, the company operates a vast global network of production sites to serve local markets.

Today, Nivea is the flagship brand of Beiersdorf AG, which remains headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. The company is publicly traded but is ultimately controlled by Maxingvest AG, a holding company that owns a majority stake in Beiersdorf. Beiersdorf is recognized as a leader in skin research, employing hundreds of scientists to develop products that range from daily hygiene to specialized dermatological care.
