Richards And Appleby

Richards and Appleby is a UK-based manufacturer of cosmetics and toiletries, known for creating and supplying beauty ranges across skin care, tanning, hair and nail categories.

With heritage tracing back to the acquisition of historic brands including Cyclax and Nailoid, Richards and Appleby has built a reputation for producing well-loved personal care lines with a strong retail and salon presence. The company’s portfolio includes established brand divisions such as Joan Collins Timeless Beauty, Leighton Denny Expert Nails and James Read Tan - each aligned with its own beauty focus, from glamour skincare to nail care and professional-style self tan.

In terms of key product categories, Richards and Appleby operates across skin care and body moisturisation, self tan and sun protection, alongside hair care and nail care. This breadth positions the brand as a specialist in the wider beauty production landscape - covering everything from skincare formulations to tanning products - rather than a single, narrow beauty focus.

Within this range, shoppers will typically see hair care essentials and styling products, body moisturiser and body lotion options, plus skin cleansers that support everyday routines.
