Cien Aloe Vera Hand Cream

Cien is a prominent private label brand exclusively owned and distributed by the German international discount supermarket chain Lidl. Originally launched in 1982, the brand name 'Cien' is derived from the Spanish word for 'one hundred,' symbolizing the company's commitment to 100% quality and purity in its personal care products.

While Lidl manages the branding and distribution, the actual manufacturing is often outsourced to specialized cosmetic firms. A major producer for Cien's skincare line is Mann & Schröder GmbH, a long-standing German manufacturer established in 1951. Ownership of the Cien brand rests with the Schwarz Group, which is the ultimate parent company of Lidl. Headquartered in Neckarsulm, Germany, the Schwarz Group is one of the world's largest retail entities, overseeing both Lidl and Kaufland operations globally.
