Nivea Sun Protect & Moisture is a widely recognized sun care product under the iconic Nivea brand. The product shown in the image is specifically manufactured in Spain, as indicated by the 'Made in Spain' labeling, though Beiersdorf operates a vast global production network with major facilities in Germany, Thailand, and Mexico to serve different regional markets.
The brand's history dates back to 1882 when pharmacist Paul C. Beiersdorf founded his laboratory in Hamburg, Germany. However, the Nivea brand truly came to life in 1911 under the leadership of Dr. Oscar Troplowitz, who developed the first stable water-in-oil emulsion cream. This 'snow-white' cream (from the Latin 'niveus') revolutionized the skincare industry.
Today, Nivea is the flagship brand of Beiersdorf AG, a prominent DAX-listed German multinational. While publicly traded, the company is ultimately controlled by Maxingvest AG, which is owned by the German Herz family. Beiersdorf remains headquartered in Hamburg, maintaining its long-standing heritage of German dermatological expertise while distributing products to over 160 countries.
