ALAFFIA Coconut Body Lotion

Merlin says:

"We love this brand for what they stand for and that's why we have included this brand in our product range.

Alaffia funds what they call their Empowerment Projects. Alaffia works to alleviate poverty and encourage gender equality in African communities. Their Empowerment Projects include several Education-Based Projects, Maternal Health, FGM Eradication, Eyeglasses and Reforestation.

Not to mention their products contain no synthetic fragrance, no parabens, they are vegan, unrefined, fair trade, hand crafted, no animal testing and biodegradable.

One thing to take note of.. in the Lavender, Vanilla and Unscented formulas, the ingredient list clearly states palm oil. This is Certified Fair Trade by IMO. We were unsure if this was up to the same standard as the Australian CSPO so we contacted Alaffia directly. We can confirm that the palm oil used is sustainably sourced! So thumbs up here."
