Alaffia Neen & Shea Butter Scalp Recovery Conditioner has the antibacterial and anti-fungal properties of West African neem oil and extracts help diminish the symptoms of dry, flaky scalps. Shea butter provides extra moisture to restore and maintain healthy hair and scalp. Essential oils of lavender, rosemary and tea tree sooth and refresh. Shea butter had been used to protect and moisturize hair for centuries. Its unique moisturizing properties repair and nourish hair and help restore its natural beauty and shine. Each conditioner formula contains Pro-Vitamin B5, plant proteins, plant extracts and essential oils to strengthen and improve hair condition. Alaffia, the company who produces this product, has chosen to empower communities in Africa through promoting indigenous African natural resources that are culturally, spiritually, economically, and ecologically sustainable. Traditionally handcrafted shea butter fits these criteria. It is a renewable resource of African origin; shea trees are wild, requiring no chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Furthermore, it is an integral part of many savanna communities and, consequently, there is a wealth of local and traditional knowledge of making shea butter. This fair trade handcrafted shea butter is also produced by workers who belong to cooperatives, bringing income to and empowering African communities. As part of Alaffia's fair trade philosophy, they use 10% of their sales for community enhancement projects in Togo, West Africa and locally in Washington State. This money goes towards supporting things like educational scholarships, promoting AIDS and malaria outreach, donation of funds and supplies to schools, medical materials and medicines, and more. Along with their shea butter cooperative members and volunteers from around the world, Alaffia has recently founded a non profit organization, the Global Alliance for Community Empowerment (GACE), to conduct their community enhancement projects.
