Alaffia's mission embodies three clear principles:
Create - We formulate and create our products based on indigenous beauty knowledge and fair trade ingredients.
Inform - Our products inform the public about the interconnections between communities and how, together, we can alleviate poverty through fair trade and sustainable choices.

Since Alaffia's beginning, we have returned a minimum of 10% of all sales to West Africa to fund community empowerment projects aimed at alleviating poverty, enhancing education, improving gender equality and reducing the effects of climate change.
