Bringing Clean Beauty & Wellness to Africa

The Africa America Beauty Alliance (AABA) is a strategic cross-continental initiative dedicated to building a sustainable bridge between U.S. clean-beauty innovators and African distributors, retailers, and consumers. Founded by women leaders in science, business, and technology, AABA was created to advance access to safe, non-toxic, and high-performing beauty and wellness products across the African continent.

AABA’s mission is rooted in economic empowerment, global equity, and women’s health advocacy. The Alliance works to introduce U.S. manufacturers that meet the Environmental Working Group (EWG) and MADE SAFE standards to vetted African partners in countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia.

By combining innovation, compliance, and education, AABA provides a trusted pathway for clean-beauty brands seeking global expansion, while helping African distributors meet the rising consumer demand for products that are authentic, safe, and ethically produced.

More than a trade initiative, AABA represents a movement for global wellness and inclusion, connecting continents through beauty, health, and shared prosperity.

About the Project

The First Step

The first step in AABA’s initiative is to identify and qualify reputable suppliers and distributors across key African markets, including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia. This phase focuses on:

• Mapping the existing distribution network for beauty and wellness products;

• Verifying supplier credentials, business registration, and product quality standards;

• Establishing partnerships with companies that align with AABA’s clean-beauty and ethical sourcing standards.

This foundational step ensures that every partnership is built on trust, transparency, and shared values, paving the way for long-term collaboration and success in subsequent phases — including brand onboarding, product education, and market expansion.

Through this approach, AABA is building a trusted ecosystem that connects continents through beauty, health, and shared prosperity.

Would you like me to follow this with Phase 2 and Phase 3 (for example, “Brand Integration” and “Consumer Education & Awareness”) so your proposal looks like a complete, structured rollout plan?
