NIVEA is one of the world's most recognized skin care brands, originally founded in Germany. The brand's history dates back to 1911 when Dr. Oscar Troplowitz, a pharmacist, developed the first stable oil-and-water-based skin cream using the emulsifier Eucerit. The name NIVEA comes from the Latin words 'nix, nivis' meaning 'snow', referring to the cream's pure white color.
Today, NIVEA is the flagship brand of Beiersdorf AG, a global leader in skin care. The manufacturing of its products is highly decentralized to serve local markets efficiently, with major production hubs located in Germany, Poland, and Mexico. The Dry Impact range specifically focuses on long-lasting protection and skin compatibility, embodying the company's commitment to dermatological research and quality standards.
Beiersdorf remains the ultimate owner of the brand, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. The company operates globally through numerous subsidiaries, ensuring the product's availability in virtually every country through local distribution and marketing teams.
