Alaffia Authentic African Black Soap is likened to the home remedies of Togolese mamans. It’s made from a centuries-old ​recipe of handcrafted fair trade and unrefined shea butter enhanced with eucalyptus and tea tree oils, resulting in a gentle and effective cleanser that clarifies and softens skin. Suitable for any skin type, even the most sensitive. Made without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum or synthetic coloring. Cruelty-Free.

Alaffia proudly handcrafts award-winning clean and fair-trade beauty care with a mission of alleviating poverty and advancing gender equality in West Africa through the fair trade of indigenous ingredients such as unrefined shea butter and coconut oil from our woman led cooperatives. Alaffia’s Empowerment Projects are our mission in action, funded by the sale of our products. The projects provide immediate and sustainable support for maternal health care, job creation, education, reforestation and regenerative agriculture. This allows West African communities to provide their skills and knowledge to the rest of the world and rise out of poverty.
