The shea butter has been a moisturizing staple for ages. And the best part about this one? It's cruelty-free and handcrafted with ingredients from Togo, West Africa.

This Pure Unrefined Shea Butter is the kind of "does-it-all-and-then-some" products that you'll want on hand all the time. The butter is so smooth and easy to apply—and works to moisturize your skin and your hair. It has no sulfates, parabens, artificial colors, synthetic fragrances (the list goes on) and it's also cruelty-free. So you could say it's basically the shea butter of our dreams.

How it does good

Alaffia started with Olowo-n'djo Tchala and Prairie Rose Hyde and their deep sense of responsibility and love for humankind. Their women's cooperatives in West Africa handcraft indigenous raw ingredients which the Alaffia team in Olympus, Washington uses to create the finished products using traditional African recipes and methods. By purchasing these handcrafted skin and hair care products, you're helping empower women and families in Togo, West Africa.

How to Use

If you're looking to moisturize, we recommend warming up a bit of it in the palm of your hands and then applying to your skin or hair.

Recycling
