The people behind the 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.

From ingredients to everyday rituals

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.

You’re invited to the first chapter

Zarenva launches on 30 November 2026. Join the launch list for collection updates and a closer look at the story behind our body and hair care.

Thank you for being here at the beginning.
