The size and strength of our segregated Kolo Nafaso direct sourcing program, combined with our established and responsible traditional supply chain, enable us to offer both fully traceable and mass balance shea-based emollients to our Personal Care customers.

As the Kolo Nafaso collection operation is now FairWild™ certified, we can extend this accreditation to our Personal Care portfolio. This allows us to offer products ‘made from FairWild™ certified segregated shea kernels,' which are fully traceable to the program, as well as products made from 'FairWild™ certified mass balance shea kernels.'

FairWild product-level accreditation ensures that customers of AAK’s shea-based emollients can trust the origin and positive impact of the supply chain, which supports environmental conservation, rural livelihoods, and community development. Brands may apply directly to FairWild to register for use of verified claims in their consumer communications.
