This unique formula combines the proven anti-aging properties of unrefined shea butter with the skin renewing strengths of African baobab for youthful and radiant skin. Baobab leaf and bark extracts tighten and tone skin, while oil from the seeds moisturizes and encourages skin cell regeneration. For dry to extra dry or mature skin.

Alaffia was founded to alleviate poverty and advance gender equality in West Africa through the fair trade of handcrafted shea butter. Alaffia's mission embodies three clear principles:

Create - Alaffia formulates and creates their products based on indigenous beauty knowledge and fair trade ingredients.

Inform - Alaffia's products inform the public about the interconnections between communities and how, together, they can alleviate poverty through fair trade and sustainable choices.

Empower - Alaffia's fair trade shea butter cooperative and community projects encourage self empowerment and gender equality for women in their West African communities.

Alaffia Believes Fair Trade requires a solid commitment to their communities. Alaffia returns at least 10% of all sales to fund community empowerment projects in West Africa. Their ongoing projects include:

Bicycles for Education: Since 2005, Alaffia has collected and sent over 3,000 used bicycles to disadvantaged students in Togo so they can get to and from school.

Maternal Health: Each year, Alaffia provides pre and post natal care to 70 women in central Togo to help reduce high maternal death rates in West Africa

School Supplies & Repairs: Alaffia donates metal roofs, seats, and school supplies to schools in rural Togo to help communities educate their youth.
