In 1996, a young man from Togo, West Africa, met a young woman from rural Washington state. Inspired by a shared calling to do right by the world, Alaffia, a social enterprise, was born. Founded in 2003, Alaffia continues to redefine the natural products industry through its values of beauty, equality and empowerment, fair trade,and safe, efficacious hair, face and body care. Alaffia’s products are made with fair trade ingredients sourced from women-led cooperatives in West Africa. With their partner organizations on the ground in West Africa, the current mission focus is on maternal care, school construction, reforestation and potable water.
