Nivea is one of the world's most recognized skin care brands, synonymous with reliability and quality since its inception in 1911. The brand was created by Beiersdorf, a German company founded by Paul Carl Beiersdorf, later expanded by Oscar Troplowitz, chemist Isaac Lifshütz, and dermatologist Paul Gerson Unna. The name 'Nivea' is derived from the Latin word 'niveus', meaning 'snow-white', reflecting the pure appearance of their original cream.
Today, Nivea remains under the ultimate ownership of Beiersdorf AG, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. While many products are still manufactured in Germany at the brand's state-of-the-art facilities, Beiersdorf operates a global network of production sites to serve international markets efficiently. The brand continues to lead the personal care industry, focusing on sustainable practices and advanced skin research.
