# BYOMA vs NIVEA

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/compare/byoma-vs-nivea

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Canada.

BYOMA and NIVEA are established skincare brands that offer thoughtfully formulated moisturizers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum), cleansers, toners, sunscreens, and more. The British brand is known for tri-ceramide and squalane, while the German brand is celebrated for [glycerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/glycerin). Both suit dry skin and sensitive skin best, delivering lasting comfort and improved barrier function. They differ in their active ingredients and founding eras, as the former was established in 2022 and the latter in 1911.

BYOMA is a British skincare brand founded in 2022 and owned by Bansk Group since 2025.

NIVEA is a German skincare brand founded in 1911 and owned by maxingvest GmbH & Co. KGaA since 2004.
