NIVEA Men Silver Protect Roll-on Deodorant

NIVEA, a cornerstone of global skincare, was founded in Germany in 1911 by Oscar Troplowitz, who developed the first stable oil-and-water-based skin cream using the emulsifier Eucerit. The brand name is derived from the Latin words 'nix, nivis', meaning snow, reflecting the pure white color of the original cream.

While the brand has deep German roots, NIVEA's manufacturing operations are highly globalized to serve different regional markets efficiently. Products found in the Australian market, such as this Silver Protect deodorant, are typically manufactured in Thailand, which serves as a major production hub for Beiersdorf in the Asia-Pacific region.

The brand is owned by the German multinational Beiersdorf AG, headquartered in Hamburg. Beiersdorf remains the ultimate owner and is a publicly traded company on the DAX. In Australia, the business is managed through its local subsidiary, Beiersdorf Australia Ltd, which handles distribution and marketing across the country and the Oceania region.
