Nivea, a Beiersdorf brand, has announced its 2025 Sustainability Initiatives—and sustainable packaging goals include product and packaging updates with a focus on climate-conscious manufacturing.

Nivea began reformulating and repackaging products last year, and consumers can expect to see changes rolling out this year across the lip, shower, and cream/lotion categories.

The redesign includes a new tin for the iconic Nivea Creme, in its signature blue tin—now made with recycled aluminum.
