Project by Kerber and Neuer gets under your skin

Off to the sun! You can soon rely on the help of two top stars when things get hot again.

The former number 1, Angelique Kerber (34), and national goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (36) founded the company DKW AG, which produces sun protection and care products. Background: Both train and play mostly outdoors and often in the sun. As a product, they wanted something that athletes would use several times a day.

Kerber: “As top athletes, we know exactly what is important in daily skin care. We do many hours of sport every week – so we take a shower several times a day. We literally wear our own story on our skin.”

According to BILD information, the brand under which the series will be launched is called Newkee, modified from the surnames Neuer and Kerber. The technical know-how was provided by Paedi Protect, a company for child care products. With the two athletes, the company founded the Deutsche Cosmetics Works AG in Marburg.

“Precisely because our passion for competitive sports is also our greatest opponent, our skin is extremely stressed. When we do something, we do it right from the start. Like on the soccer field or tennis court: with a focus on the essentials,” says Neuer.

But how do the captain of record champions FC Bayern Munich and the former tennis queen (three Grand Slam victories) come together? Years ago, Kerber was invited to a Champions League game against Real Madrid. That’s when she met Neuer, and the sympathy was there quickly.

She even posted a video with the burning question: “How about a trial session?” Now it became even more, working together in a joint company.
