It has grown on me!: Limited Edition Momoko Sakura + Nivea Creme

Classic Nivea cream in blue tin, Nivea Creme, is the longest-selling skincare cream which was first released in Germany over 100 years ago. Nivea expanded to become a global brand, so you can find Nivea products in many countries now. In Japan, Kao, one of the largest Japanese cosmetic companies, has been selling Nivea products since 1968, so it is Nivea Creme 50th Anniversary in Japan this year!

Kao released 50th anniversary limited design Nivea Creme products on September 8. Its adorable packaging was illustrated by Momoko Sakura (さくらももこ), the creator of Chibi Maruko-chan (ちびまるこちゃん). You probably already know that Momoko Sakura died on August 15 this year. It was very shocking new to me because I loved reading manga Chibi-Maruko-chan and watching its anime series when I was a child. I think many Japanese people also love Chibi-Maruko-chan. I was also very surprised that she had been working on Nivea Creme 50th Anniversary project.
