For the ones who give themselves fully. Who care for everyone and carry it in their jaw, their shoulders, the thoughts that keep going after the lights are out. Lafia means comfort, and this crème is that moment: the exhale at the end of the day that is only yours.

Silky, light, and quick to sink in, it leaves skin deeply soft while its calm, grounding scent tells your body the day is over. Unclench your jaw. Let your shoulders drop. Breathe.

Made to slow you down

Ingredients
Water (Aqua), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Glycerin, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Stearic Acid, Tocopherol, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid, Sorbic Acid, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Cymbopogon Flexuosus (Lemongrass) Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Oil, Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil.

We formulate with real ingredients, around their nature, not against them. We use whole butters, plant oils, and West African botanicals, gently preserved. No parabens, sulfates, phthalates, silicones, synthetic dyes, or mineral oil. Nothing compromised.

How to use

Apply generously to damp skin after bathing. Start slow. Smooth from your shoulders down, giving your skin and your mind a moment to rest. Use daily as part of your ritual. For external use only.

A note from Nina

Lafia began as something I made for myself during a season of stress, overwhelm, and a mind that would not quiet.

This crème became part of how I came back to myself. I hope it gives you a small moment of peace when the world feels loud.

The women who know these trees

Our shea is gathered and hand processed by a women's cooperative in Bougouni, Mali, the way it has always been done. Their work is seen and fairly paid. From Bougouni to your home, we make every product in small batches in North Carolina.
