Cien Milk & Honey Cream Soap

Cien is a prominent private-label brand established by the German global discount supermarket chain Lidl. It was created to provide consumers with high-quality personal care and cosmetic products at affordable price points. The brand covers a wide range of products including soaps, shampoos, skincare, and sun protection.

While the brand is deeply rooted in Germany, manufacturing of Cien products occurs across various locations throughout Europe to optimize logistics for Lidl's pan-European operations. Common production sites include Germany, Poland, and France, depending on the specific product category and local supplier partnerships. This decentralized manufacturing approach allows Lidl to maintain competitive pricing while ensuring product freshness and availability across its thousands of stores.

As a private label, Cien remains under the ultimate ownership of the Schwarz Group, one of the world's largest retail corporations. The Schwarz Group manages Lidl and Kaufland, maintaining strict control over the brand's formulation and quality standards. This vertical integration ensures that the brand remains exclusive to its own retail networks, providing a specialized value proposition to its customers.
