This is the second P6 Hall of Fame product from small body care company Alaffia, because their work with shea-producing co-ops in West Africa is exemplary.
P6 member co-op store The Merc loves Alaffia's intensive moisturizing lotion made with the maximum amount of Alaffia's handcrafted, unrefined shea butter from West Africa.

Supporting sustainable growing practices in Western Africa, Alaffia products include a wide range of plants commonly used in skin care products.
The difference here is the way the plants are grown, harvested and used to empower the people of the areas where they’re grown. According to the Alaffia website:
“Through our direct involvement in the entire process—from gathering the wild shea nuts and crafting the butter, to distribution locally and abroad—our members receive fair and steady incomes. In addition, 10% of sales always go directly back to our community empowerment projects. We believe combining fair wages and prices with community projects can lead our communities out of poverty and make our world a healthier place.”
In short, buying Alaffia products enriches two communities at once -- your co-op and theirs.
