Alaffia Shea & Honey Nourishing Conditioner has African wild honey, shea butter, and rooibos extract which combine to moisturize, nourish and rejuvenate your hair and scalp. Shea butter restructures and smooths the hair cuticle, honey provides extra moisture and shine and rooibos encourages new hair growth and improves overall hair condition. 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. The formula of each of Alaffia's conditioners 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.
