African botanicals, formulated in England, for skin that looks lit from within: nourished, dark marks brightened and dullness lifted.

"The luxe Moisturizing Face Cream features a mix of nourishing ingredients, including marula, moringa, and argan oils to seal in moisture all day long."
"Epara’s silky, deeply moisturizing Brightening Night Balm ... always gives my skin the fix it needs ... thanks to its bounty of moisture and oils like moringa and marula in addition to fresh aloe vera and mango butter ... it's loaded with natural brightening actives to restore skin’s tones and appearance.”

Our founder
Meet Ozohu
Ozohu Adoh grew up in Nigeria, where mango butter, moringa and marula were part of everyday life. After she moved to London, her skin changed: dryness, and dark marks that wouldn't fade. Nothing on the luxury shelves had been made with skin like hers in mind. So she made it, and Epara launched in 2017.
Rooted in African botanicals. Formulated in England. Made for anyone who wants skincare that works.
