Naturally luxurious skin, body, and hair care essentials with a purpose!

Alaffia is a very well-known brand that makes incredible products, but have you tried any Alaffia products before and what makes the brand stand out?

What’s the Difference?

Alaffia comes with a purpose – Empowerment Projects are Alaffia’s mission in action, funded by the sales of their products. Furthermore, all of Alaffia’s projects empower Togolese communities to provide their skills and knowledge to the rest of the world and rise out of poverty. So when you care for yourself using Alaffia, you care for communities in need as well!

We Tried!

Yes, we needed to try for ourselves and see how their products feel, smell and nourish. And I picked 3 different products that stood out to me (the packaging is beautiful, colourful and super eye-catching!) and was excited to try them!

ALAFFIA Everyday Coconut Body Wash – Purely Coconut 950ml

Ethically traded ingredients, sulfate-free and clean, this EveryDay Coconut Body Wash Purely Coconut is handcrafted with fair trade virgin coconut oil, antioxidant-rich coffee berry extract and fair trade and unrefined shea butter from cooperatives in West Africa to gently cleanse away pollutants while nourishing and protecting your skin.

And this body wash is pure heaven! The smell takes over your entire bathroom and leaves your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. Plus, it’s suitable for normal to very dry skin and I can tell that all the ingredients put together with so much love definitely work – a must have for everyday!

ALAFFIA Neem Turmeric Deodorant – Charcoal & Lemongrass 75g

This is an impressive product – just peek at the list of nasties not included:
Free from:

• Synthetic Fragrance
• Parabens
• Sulfates
• Animal Testing
• Propanediol
• Phthalates
• Aluminum
• Mineral Oil

What more can you ask for? Alaffia’s balancing lemongrass activated deodorant with powerful neem, harmonising turmeric, odor neutralising charcoal, protective shea and gentle aloe will leave you fresh all day. And I do mean all day – this deodorant did not lose its freshness and, even after work, I felt like I could still smell the fresh lemongrass.

ALAFFIA African Black Soap All-In-One Peppermint 476ml

An absolute classic – Alaffia’s Authentic African Black Soap is likened to the home remedies of Togolese mamans. And it’s made from a centuries-old ​recipe of handcrafted fair trade and unrefined shea butter and Orangutan-safe West African ​palm oil, enhanced with invigorating peppermint oil.

Their Shea Butter is wild-crafted and made by hand and you can feel the amount of work and love included here. Suitable for any skin type, even the most sensitive, this soap has a very earthy fresh smell and even the driest bits of my skin felt hydrated. This is definitely the best soap I tried in a long time.
