About National Beauty Distribution
Founded in Cork in 2011, National Beauty Distribution (NBD) is Ireland’s leading importer and wholesaler for the beauty, hair, and cosmetics industry. We don’t just distribute products – we build brands. From salon-defining haircare names like KEVIN.MURPHY, ELEVEN Australia, K18, and Color Wow, to consumer favourites like Sundae Body, we manage every element of a brand’s Irish journey: from sales and education to PR, marketing, and retailer relationships.
About KEVIN.MURPHY
Founded in Australia by session stylist Kevin Murphy, KEVIN.MURPHY is a premium professional haircare brand built on a simple idea: treat hair with the same care as skin. Every product is created around the brand’s three core pillars – Fashion, Performance and Environment – combining editorial-level results with a genuine commitment to sustainability, from recycled ocean plastic packaging to cruelty-free, vegan formulations.
