As the world's third leading manufacturer of cosmetic nail products, the success and reputation of LCN is based on a long history of providing exciting, innovative breakthroughs to the world of cosmetic science.

A Proud History...
When Wilde Dental was founded in 1914, few knew that these pioneering German researchers in dental resin would make such a lasting impact in the beauty industry. But in 1985, Wilde Cosmetics GmbH was established to bring the same quality, durability and beauty of composite resin systems to fingernail cosmetics. The result? LCN, a revolutionary line of light-cured products designed to seal, correct, lengthen and beautify fingernails. The first of its kind in Europe, this system provided a non acrylic alternative to conventional nail cosmetics... providing longer lasting and infinitely more beautiful results.

... and the Future of Beauty.
In mid 1980, Inge Patton (formerly Hatheway) played an integral part in the launch of LCN products in Germany. In 1989 Inge introduced LCN to Canada bringing her boundless energy & expertise to our esthetic industry. And today, the LCN line has expanded to include even more natural nail, hand, foot, body and spa products. Still, every LCN beauty product remains the result of careful research, educated industry professionals, and a flawless eye for the future of beauty and fashion. Like the products that bear its name, LCN continues to break new ground in the beauty industry... while its quality still stands the test of time.

As of December 1, 2008 Inge’s eldest son, Wolf Hatheway took over the Western Canadian wholesale distribution for LCN serving distributors & schools in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. “There is no greater compliment than having your son interested in continuing the legacy of your business” says Inge.
