Alafia - BDSA soap

Bold. Peaceful. Purposeful.

Named after the Yoruba word for peace, Alafia is our tribute to the strength and joy of Black families in the Down syndrome community. Swirled in vibrant blue and yellow, and rich black and brown, each bar is as striking as the families it honors. Scented with Australian Bamboo Grass, this soap brings a crisp, earthy freshness that lingers long after the lather.

🌿 Fragrance: Fresh, green, and slightly sweet with a clean finish
💛 Advocacy in Action: 20% of every purchase goes to the Black Down Syndrome Association, supporting culturally competent resources, community, and advocacy.

From BDSA's "About" page:

"The Black Down Syndrome Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing Black families with the resources and support they need for their loved ones with Down Syndrome.

"Founded in 2022 by two Black mothers who have Black sons with Down Syndrome, the organization works to create a culturally competent, safe space for Black families and their loved ones with Down Syndrome."
