Artisans

Alaffia is part of the Alaffia-Agbanga Shea Butter Cooperative, an organization dedicated to building African self-empowerment. While we make our finished products in Olympia, WA, all of our Shea Butter and other tropical oils that we use are made by our cooperative members in Togo, West Africa. We have decided to post short biographies of some of these Shea Butter artisans to give Alaffia customers a picture of the people behind our traditional Shea Butter.
