History

The begining

The NIVEA Story begins with the ground-breaking discovery of Eucerit, the first water-in-oil emulsifier. This made it possible to create for the first time a stable emulsion of this type. In 1911 Beiersdorf's owner Oskar Troplowitz initiated development of a skin cream based on such an emulsion in close cooperation with chemist Isaac Lifschütz and dermatologist Paul Unna. In December of that year the world's first long-lasting skin cream came onto the market. Troplowitz named it NIVEA, from the Latin word "nivius" meaning "snow-white".

By this time NIVEA has became a familiar product in many countries around the world, and was fast becoming an umbrella brand for a wide range of skin care products.

Today the NIVEA brand encompasses facial care, hair care, shaving, bathing/shower, body care, baby care and sun care products. Sold in some 150 countries, NIVEA products are trusted around the world. In fact, in many countries consumers are convinced that NIVEA is a local brand! Beiersdorf regards this slight confusion as a great compliment. Throughout the twist and turns of almost a century of change, one thing has remained the same - NIVEA means gentle care. Beiersdorf's dermatological expertise enables it to offer consistent, high quality at a reasonable price, to take good care of you. The blue tin of NIVEA Creme is timeless. Always in harmony with consumers' needs and wishes, NIVEA's total body care will be as appreciated tomorrow as that first NIVEA creme was back in 1911.

Everything NIVEA makes is based on the way skin naturally works. That's why NIVEA formulations can boost your skin's own healthiest functions - and use ingredients that occur naturally in your own skin.
