Our story
Redefining beauty, one honest formulation at a time
Hesco Merc began with a simple frustration: too much of what is sold as skincare is built for marketing, not for skin.
We make beauty and personal care products focused on clean skin texture — the everyday feel and health of your skin rather than a promise of instant transformation. Our leaf and face mark says it plainly: nature and the person wearing it, held together.
What we sell, and why
Our range is deliberately small. Addley Whitening Lotion brightens with carrot extract, glutathione, vitamin C and kojic acid — and without hydroquinone or mercury. Fiona Kiddies Affairs is a hypoallergenic goji berry body milk made for children's sensitive skin. Addleytone Fresh Skin Black Soap is a traditional plantain-and-cocoa-ash blend at a gentle pH 5.5. Three products we can stand behind, rather than a shelf we cannot explain.
What we believe
- Formulations should be short, purposeful and readable on the label.
- Brightening should never mean bleaching — no hydroquinone, no mercury, ever.
- Pricing should be the same for everyone, whether you buy one bottle or forty.
- African skin deserves products designed for it, not adapted to it as an afterthought.
On counterfeits
Whitening lotions and black soap are among the most faked products in the Nigerian market. Everything we sell ships from our own warehouse stock, so no reseller ever handles your pack between our shelf and your door. If you are unsure about a pack you bought elsewhere, send us a photo and we will tell you plainly.
How we work
Retail customers buy single items; retailers, pharmacies, supermarkets and distributors buy by the carton at published per-unit pricing, from two cartons up. Delivery is quoted at checkout, and pickup is always free.
