Shea What!?

< Let's all shealebrate


Finding an eco-friendly, socially conscious, and (don't forget) effective cosmetic product all in one bottle is a nearly impossible task. That's why PHG is psyched about Alaffia Sustainable Skin Care. Using green ingredients like Shea Butter and Virgin Coconut Oil - natural resources of Togo, Africa, where the founder, Olowo-n'djo Tchala, grew up in poverty - Alaffia offers chemical-free alternatives to your brand name hair and skin care products.

As if that wasn't enough, the folks at Alaffia never test their products on animals, are champions of recycling, and are certified as a Fair Trade organization. Another big part of Alaffia's mission is to improve the lives of those living in poverty - both in West Africa and in America. Their community programs - including the Alaffia/Agbanga Shea Butter Cooperative, scholarship programs in D.C., and the Maternal Health Project in Togo - focus on self empowerment and gender equality.


Plus, you can feel good when you buy as 10% of their sales go directly to fund their community enhancement projects. That's something to get lathered up about.
