Summer is the perfect time to refresh your beauty routine, and this year we're making it even more rewarding. From August 22nd through September 7th (Labour Day), African Fair Trade Society is running a Haircare & Skincare Contest where three lucky winners will walk away with up to $100 worth of our organic Shea butter products. If you've ever wanted to try our full lineup without the guesswork, this is your chance.
Why We're Doing This
At African Fair Trade Society, every purchase already does more than nourish your skin. It helps fund education for children, supports women-led businesses, and strengthens rural communities across West Africa. This contest is our way of saying thank you to the customers who've made that mission possible, while introducing new faces to what makes our pure Shea butter and African black soap so different from what you'll find on a typical drugstore shelf.
How to Enter
Getting into the running is simple and takes just a few minutes:
- Follow @africanfairtrade on Instagram
- Like the contest announcement post
- Tag a friend in the comments
- Share the post to your story and tag @africanfairtrade so we can see it (if your account is private, just screenshot your story and send it to us directly)
That's it. Entries close September 7th at 11:59pm PST, and we'll announce all three winners on September 8th.
What You Could Win
We've put together three separate prize sets, each built around our bestselling Shea butter soap and black soap collections, so no matter which one lands in your inbox, you're getting real, full-size products.
Prize #1 leans into our skincare essentials, featuring our unrefined Shea butter soap, organic Shea butter in a jar, whipped body cream, and our foaming facial cleanser.
Prize #2 is built for anyone chasing healthier skin and hair, combining our African Black Liquid Soap with intensive moisturizer, renewal night cream, whipped body cream, and a bar of our raw Shea butter soap.
Prize #3 rounds things out with a full hair and body routine, including rejuvenating conditioner, energizing shampoo, moisturizing massage oil, organic Shea butter, and another bar of our handcrafted soap.
Each set reflects the range of what we offer, from daily cleansers to deeper hair and skin repair, so whichever prize you receive, you'll have plenty to work with.
A Little About What You're Trying
If you're new to Shea butter and African black soap, both come from traditional, small-batch methods that have been used across West Africa for generations. Shea butter is prized for how deeply it moisturizes without feeling heavy, while black soap is known for gently cleansing skin prone to breakouts or irritation. Neither is loaded with synthetic fillers, which is part of why so many people switch over and stick with it. You can read more about the sourcing on our Shea Butter page.
Shipping and Eligibility
Good news for our winners on both sides of the border: prize shipping is free to Canada and the USA. Wherever you're entering from, your prize will reach you at no extra cost.
Don't Miss Your Shot
Contests like this don't come around often, so if you've been curious about trying our products, now's the time to jump in. Follow, like, tag, and share before September 7th for your chance to be one of three winners. And if you'd rather not wait to see if you're picked, our full range is ready whenever you are. Shop now and bring a bit of that West African tradition into your own routine today.
