Hosted in Lagos at the 2026 Continuing Education Conference of the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN), Lagos State Chapter, and attended by leading pharmacists, healthcare professionals, and industry stakeholders, the event reinforced a compelling new narrative around beauty and wellness, shifting the focus from external fixes to internal restoration, backed by science and real-life experiences.

Speaking candidly during the panel session, Kate Henshaw, a celebrity activist, social advocate, and one of Nigeria’s foremost actresses, emphasized that her approach to health has always gone beyond appearance, noting that maintaining vitality requires intentional decisions rooted in understanding the body. Reflecting on her personal experience, she stated, “I never knew the symptoms and effects of menopause until just after age 50, when I realised that what I was feeling in my body were actually menopausal symptoms.” She noted that while hormonal changes are a natural part of life, managing them effectively requires the right support system.

Her remarks reinforced the campaign’s central message, that true wellness is not about masking symptoms, but addressing what is happening internally. Her story resonated strongly with attendees, particularly as she highlighted the importance of consistency, discipline, and choosing scientifically backed solutions that align with the body’s needs.

Adding clinical and community-level insight, Ibukun Tola-Ogunyemi, Managing Director of Pontisalus Pharmacy, underscored the growing demand among Nigerian consumers for pharmacy-recommended, evidence-based wellness solutions. She noted that Efamol EPO provides pharmacists with a credible option to support patients more effectively, particularly due to its high Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) content and strong clinical backing, which differentiates it from the wide range of generic supplements currently available in the market.

The conversation was further deepened by Mosunmola Dosumu, Founder of Nigeria’s first menopause-focused support initiative and a certified menopause coach, who brought attention to the often-overlooked realities of menopausal health. Drawing from her extensive work with women across different stages of menopause, she explained that hormonal decline, particularly reduced oestrogen levels, has visible and physical effects on the body, especially on the skin, hydration levels, and overall comfort. Dosumu emphasized that menopause is not a condition to fear, but a natural phase that can be properly managed with the right knowledge and support, noting that nutritional interventions such as essential fatty acids play a significant role in improving skin elasticity, reducing dryness, and alleviating discomfort associated with hormonal changes.

From a product and distribution standpoint, Ogheneochuko Omaruaye, CEO of New Heights Pharmaceuticals Limited, the globally certified distributor of Efamol EPO in Nigeria, assured stakeholders and consumers of the product’s availability and accessibility nationwide. He emphasized that Efamol meets international quality standards and has been carefully introduced into the Nigerian market to address a clear and growing need for clinically proven wellness solutions. He further stated, “At New Heights Pharmaceuticals Limited, we have strategically partnered with leading pharmacies across the country to ensure that consumers can easily access the product. This reinforces our commitment to improving health outcomes through trusted pharmaceutical channels.”

Efamol EPO, a premium Evening Primrose Oil supplement rich in Gamma Linolenic Acid, is designed to work from within by replenishing essential fatty acids required for maintaining skin hydration, elasticity, and hormonal balance. The product is backed by clinical studies, and has been associated with improvements in skin condition, reduction in eczema-related symptoms, and relief from premenstrual discomfort, making it particularly relevant in today’s wellness-conscious environment where consumers are seeking solutions that are both natural and scientifically validated.

The launch event marked more than just the introduction of a product; it signaled a broader shift in how wellness is being approached in Nigeria, one that prioritizes internal balance, preventive care, and informed decision-making. With voices like Kate Henshaw bridging the gap between aspiration and authenticity, and healthcare professionals reinforcing the science behind the solution, Efamol EPO is poised to lead a new category conversation that aligns with the evolving expectations of Nigerian consumers.
