Nivea is a world-renowned personal care brand that specialized in skin and body-care products. The brand originated in Germany in 1911 when the pharmacist and entrepreneur Oscar Troplowitz, with the help of chemist Isaac Lifschütz and dermatologist Paul Gerson Unna, developed the first stable skin cream based on water and oil. This breakthrough led to the birth of the iconic Nivea Creme.

Today, Nivea is owned by Beiersdorf AG, a major German multinational company headquartered in Hamburg. While its roots and headquarters remain firmly in Germany, Nivea products, including the Sun Protect & Moisture range, are manufactured in various locations globally to serve different regional markets. For the Australian and Asian markets, products are often produced in regional hubs like Thailand or Germany. The brand remains a cornerstone of the Beiersdorf portfolio, which also includes brands like Eucerin and La Prairie.
