About us

Behind Alara Cosmetics
At Alara Cosmetics, we believe glowing skin shouldn't be complicated, or out of reach. Japanese skincare is known for being high-quality and effective, but too often feels unreachable unless you are shopping abroad or willing to pay a premium. We are here to change that!

Our love for J-beauty began after visiting Japan and experiencing first-hand how effective, gentle and thoughtful their skincare rituals are. We wanted to bring that same quality and accessibility back to the UK - to make Japanese skincare something everyone can enjoy, not just dream about. For us, it's more than skincare, it's about sharing a piece of Japanese culture and helping you feel confident in your own skin.

Based in the UK, we import the best of Japans skincare straight to your doorstep with next day delivery available and prices that make self-care an everyday luxury, not a rare treat. From hydrating lotions to cult-favourite cleansers, our products are chosen to slot effortlessly into your everyday routine.
Our mission is simple, to make Japanese skincare accessible, affordable and fun - so it becomes part of your lifestyle, not just a whislist.
