Discover where a brand or product originates
NIVEA is a globally recognized personal care brand with a history dating back to 1911. Its origins lie in Hamburg, Germany, where the company Beiersdorf was founded. The brand's name is derived from the Latin word 'niveus', meaning 'snow-white', reflecting the iconic white color of its original skin cream.
The NIVEA MEN Black & White Invisible range is specifically engineered to provide anti-perspirant protection for up to 72 hours while preventing white marks on dark clothing and yellow stains on light fabrics. Although Beiersdorf operates a vast global supply chain with manufacturing facilities in places like India, Mexico, and various European locations, the core production for many of its European-marketed hygiene products remains centered in Germany.
Today, NIVEA is a flagship brand of Beiersdorf AG, which is a German multinational based in Hamburg. The company is publicly traded on the DAX but is ultimately controlled by Maxingvest AG, a holding company owned by the German Herz family, who also own the Tchibo coffee brand.
