Cien Olive Hand Cream

Cien is a private-label personal care brand that has gained international recognition for its high-quality yet budget-friendly skincare products. Originally developed for the German discount retailer Lidl, the brand focuses on dermatologist-tested formulas containing natural extracts such as olive oil and shea butter.

The brand's origin is rooted in Germany, where Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG first introduced it to offer a value-driven alternative to premium cosmetic brands. Today, Cien products are a staple in Lidl stores across Europe and beyond. Manufacturing primarily takes place in Germany, leveraging the country's advanced cosmetic engineering facilities, though production may occur in other European regions depending on regional supply chains.

As a private label, Cien remains under the ultimate ownership of the Schwarz Group (Schwarz Unternehmenstreuhand KG). The Schwarz Group is one of the world's largest retail conglomerates, also owning the Kaufland hypermarket chain. Their commitment to sustainability and accessible wellness is reflected in Cien's growing range of vegan and microplastic-free skincare solutions.
