Below, meet three of the changemakers currently expanding the reach, realm, and power of self-care—and how we think about these two little words as a result: It’s one thing to care for your body and skin by knowing what’s in a product. But when that same product is changing lives on the other end of the supply chain, that’s the ultimate sweet spot of cultivating well-being. And Olowo-n’djo Tchala, the founder of natural personal care brand Alaffia (which you probably recognize from Whole Foods Market’s beauty section) is moving this particular needle in West Africa....
