Before the jar, there was a story.

For Doris Chinonyerem, Zarenva begins with the people behind the ingredients—the women in Nigeria whose hands and knowledge help bring shea butter and palm kernel oil to life. From those roots, she is building a Canadian body and hair care brand that connects African heritage with the quiet pleasure of caring for yourself.

Everyday care becomes more meaningful when you know where its story begins.

Through Zarenva, I want you to feel cared for—and connected to the people and heritage behind every jar.

Our first collection is being developed in Kitchener, Ontario, with body and hair care as its focus. We are bringing shea butter and palm kernel oil together in formulas with their own texture, purpose and directions for use.
