For over 140 years, Beiersdorf’s Research & Development has been unlocking the skin’s complex processes – setting significant milestones in skin research. Our multidisciplinary teams combine scientific expertise with cutting-edge technologies to create skin innovations that meet diverse needs. Driven by curiosity and collaboration, we pioneer product solutions that touch people’s lives around the world.
Innovation is deeply rooted in Beiersdorf’s DNA. Since inventing modern skin care in 1911 with the first stable water-in-oil emulsion – NIVEA Creme – we have continued to set new standards. Our scientific expertise enables us to develop active ingredients that work with the skin: From Coenzyme Q10 and EPICELLINE® against skin aging to Thiamidol® for hyperpigmentation. Also, we advance research in areas such as epigenetics and the skin microbiome.
