What OFRA does
OFRA Cosmetics is a privately held, founder-owned beauty brand founded in 1994 by Ofra and David Gaito and headquartered at 2141 Blount Road, Pompano Beach, Florida. The company develops, manufactures, and distributes its full product portfolio from an in-house South Florida facility, controlling formulation and quality end-to-end. OFRA's catalog is anchored by its signature highlighter collection (78+ shades across liquid-to-baked, pressed, and liquid formats) and complemented by viral franchises such as the HD Volumizing Mascara, Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick (72+ shades), Pro Palette and Midi Palette collections, and an expanding skincare line featuring Vitamin C and peptide-based treatments. All products are marketed as 100% cruelty-free and gluten-free, with vegan variants available across categories.
OFRA operates primarily as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand through ofracosmetics.com (powered by Shopify), augmented by third-party retail placement at Ulta, Ipsy, and BoxyCharm, and exclusive international distribution through WONDER LINE Co., Ltd. in Japan. The go-to-market motion is product-led, with viral social media discovery (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest), influencer and artist collaborations (Paul Dao Collection, Island Flavors with OMI II), and a tiered loyalty program called Beauty Bonuses (Beauty, Bae, OG Status) supporting retention. Pricing spans $7–$20 cleansers and lipsticks, $25–$40 highlighters, $26 mascaras, and $99–$149 professional palettes, with free domestic shipping on $50+ orders and international shipping to Canada, the UK, and Japan.
