About Us

At Akoma, we choose to do business in a way that benefits everyone involved from the ethical sourcing of raw ingredients to providing all natural skin care and spa products that are of high quality and great value. And in doing so, we’re committed to having a positive impact on emerging economies in the developing world, particularly in Ghana where we are instrumental in maintaining cooperatives in various parts of the country that process and produce our Shea Butter and Palm Oil products.

Collecting, processing, and selling shea nuts and shea butter at the Akoma Cooperative Multipurpose Society in Ghana is a important source of income for women in the community. And the workers harvest, gather and prepare the raw ingredients in a way that does not disturb the local ecosystem. Similar coops are being developed to provide employment for those who wish to rise up above the object poverty so common in their villages.

By following a global consciousness and strictly adhering to Fairtrade guidelines, Akoma represents a new breed of companies that focus on fair prices, good working conditions, sustainability and fair terms of trade.

Just as important to us is offering an extended line of high quality skin care and spa products that are all natural, affordable, and bring healing, comfort and a sense of luxury to our growing list of customers around the globe.
