The real deal, we're in love. Great company, unique quality!
Great for product makers, but we're not and still love it. Give them a try! This is not part of any promo but they can use our support and we're sure you'll love their products as we do.
Baraka are a small company (as of now) shipping from Canada the products they buy directly and fairly from Ghanaian women artisans. Their level of responsibility is exemplary: This is how shopping should be done.
Whip up your own batches of shea or buy ready made beauty products, no chemistry, very little or zero machinery and all hands - their products have a degree of quality that we find close to impossible to source elsewhere (goodbye, sensitivities).
We are returning customers have shopped here for some hundred dollars a year for several years. This replaced much retail shopping for us!
We've tried and fallen in love with the excellent quality of their truly raw and organic butters, cocoa and moringa powders, black soaps, to name a few. Extra produce stays fresh very long in refrigeration.
They also sell the most beautifully woven baskets! Handle them gently and keep collecting compliments, just wonderful all-reed quality.
They deserve our full support, we believe, and their bulk prices especially are a good deal indeed. Very high quality for us, our environment and the Ghanaian artisan community. They are the real deal with regards to ethical trade and environmentally sustainable products.
We've had minor issues during the ordering process on their website with our fringe browser, but we always got there with a few extra minutes of patience. Their shipments from Canada take a week or so with the economic option and are not "Prime" priced, either - we still pay much less than anywhere else for much better quality. Their customer support is personal and empowered to help out.
We love them their products and the idea they are making reality!

Chris - sorry - I didn't realize this review was here. So, long time to send the reply
Chris, thank you — this review means a great deal to us, and even more to the hard-working women in Ghana who hand-make everything you've described. They take enormous pride in their work, and I'll be sharing your words with them. Reading that Baraka has replaced much of your retail shopping after several years as returning customers is about the highest compliment a small company like ours can receive. (And the basket weavers will be delighted you called out their all-reed quality!) Thank you for being part of the Baraka Clan. — Wayne
