HRC products are designed by women and they carry the mark of feminine sense and insight. They combine multiple aspects of wellbeing that extend to the health and relaxation of the face, body and mind, by gently stimulating the senses while caring for the hair and skin.

Since its inception, HRC has developed its own league of top brand names across the beauty industry. Nursery, its leading skin care brand and spa, is popular for its simplified cleansing regimen and the inspired use of a large variety of fresh natural ingredients. Lovejeveil offers make-up, nail and hair care, while Esthe Dew specializes in spa service including moisturizing milks, lotions and face masks for professional and personal use.
