NIVEA Creme moisturiser

NIVEA Creme is one of the world's most iconic skin care products, recognized globally by its signature blue tin. The brand was founded in 1911 in Germany by Beiersdorf AG, following the invention of Eucerit, the first stable water-in-oil emulsifier which allowed for the creation of a long-lasting skin cream. The name 'NIVEA' is derived from the Latin words 'nix, nivis' meaning 'snow', a nod to the cream's pure white color.

While the brand's heart and primary manufacturing center remain in Hamburg, Germany, its massive global success has led to a diversified production network. Today, NIVEA products are manufactured in several countries to serve regional markets efficiently, including facilities in Mexico, Thailand, and Spain. Ownership has remained consistent throughout its modern history, being the flagship brand of the Beiersdorf Group, a multinational corporation specialized in personal care products.
