Alaffia
Established by Olowo-n’djo Tchala and his wife Rose, Alaffia believe passionately in the power of sustainable skincare to bring real change to communities in his native Togo, as well as throughout Africa while maintaining the cultural and bio diversity of the region:
1. Using Sustainably Harvested, Wildcrafted, and Traditionally Extracted, Unrefined Shea Butter for the base of all their products.
2. Providing fair wages and prices to the Alaffia Shea Butter Cooperative members and farmers.
3. Dedicating 10% of sales proceeds to Community Enhancement Projects in Africa and other parts of the World.
With the aim of:
1. Improving current living standards and promote gender equality and feelings of self worth for individuals in our communities.
2. Helping break the cycle of poverty in Africa and preserve indigenous resources and knowledge for future generations
3. Increasing awareness of how individual actions and choices affect communities worldwide.
