Nivea commercial from 1922 in which a margrave meets a marquess with the most beautiful skin. While dancing below her balcony at night, the marquess tells him her secret: She uses Nivea soap and Nivea cream.
One of the most charming commercials in existence is The Secret of the Marquise, a silhouette film by Lotte Reiniger. The silhouettes are white against black backgrounds. The reason for this reversal is because the Marquise uses Nivea cream and soap to good effect- producing her white skin that sets her suitor's heart aflutter.—Beware_the_Ides_of_March
