NIVEA is one of the world's most recognized skincare brands, with its origins dating back to 1911 in Germany. The brand was founded when Dr. Oscar Troplowitz, owner of the company Beiersdorf, developed the first stable oil-and-water-based skin cream using the emulsifier Eucerit. The name NIVEA is derived from the Latin word 'niveus', meaning snow-white.

Today, NIVEA is the flagship brand of Beiersdorf AG, a major German multinational corporation. While the brand grew significantly through international expansion, its global headquarters remains in Hamburg, Germany. Most of its high-tech skincare research and a significant portion of its production take place in Germany, though Beiersdorf operates manufacturing facilities worldwide to serve different regional markets. The 'NIVEA SUN' line specifically offers specialized UV protection products, maintaining the brand's reputation for gentle but effective skincare.
