NIVEA MEN Dry Active and Scholl Fresh Step

This image features two prominent personal care products: NIVEA MEN Dry Active anti-perspirant and Scholl Fresh Step Foot Deodorant. NIVEA is a quintessential German brand, founded in 1911 by Beiersdorf AG, headquartered in Hamburg. Beiersdorf remains the ultimate owner of NIVEA, producing its wide range of skincare products across various global manufacturing hubs, primarily in Germany and other European locations.

Scholl, on the other hand, was founded in the early 20th century by Dr. William Mathias Scholl in the United States. Today, the brand's ownership is split by region; however, for the European market shown here, it is owned by Yellow Wood Partners, which acquired the global Scholl business from Reckitt Benckiser in 2021. Manufacturing for Scholl products occurs in multiple countries depending on the specific product line and target market.
