African Black Soap is truly an authentically nourishing product. If you haven't tried it before, let me tell you:

Ours is THE BEST.

African Black Soap is everything you've been looking for in a skincare product:

  • REAL
  • Powerful & effective
  • Ethically sourced
  • Multifunctional, head to toe
  • Perfect for ALL skin types & ages
  • Safe and 100% natural
  • Long-lasting supply
  • Supports women

REAL African Black Soap is made only in West Africa, and only by women. It is a traditional soap used by African families for centuries, and each recipe varies according to each family tradition and the region in which they live.

The mothers share the recipes with their daughters, and they create soap not only for their families, but to sell at markets as well. It creates income for their families and allows their daughters to go to school.

Due to the simple but powerful nature of African Black Soap, it delivers many benefits for ALL skin types:

  • fights bacteria
  • fights fungus
  • relief for skin rashes
  • relief for acne
  • exfoliates skin
  • softens and soothes skin surface
  • removes makeup
  • reduces and soothes razor burn
  • draws toxins to surface of skin
  • protects against free radical damage
  • reduces inflammation
  • reduces symptoms of dandruff
  • relief for poison ivy

 

What this means for you is African Black Soap is GREAT for use on:

  • acne
  • eczema
  • psoriasis
  • rosacea
  • aging skin
  • rashes
  • sensitive skin
  • oily skin
  • normal skin
  • dry skin
  • male skin
  • female skin
  • teen skin
  • keratosis pilaris
  • poison ivy
  • dandruff
  • shaving
  • makeup removal
  • daily skincare routine 

We purchase our African Black Soap as a base from a coop of women in Ghana. Then we rebatch it with our Savvy flair: more ash, french green clay for detox, and our essential oil blend. We mold the batches into bars and cut them to our specifications.

We are the only brand (to date) that cut our soap slices into smaller cubes- this extends the life of the soap and makes it much easier to store. Each soap bar lasts AT LEAST 4 months if used on the whole body. It lasts MUCH LONGER as a facial soap only.

African Black Soap is the only soap you will ever need again. You and your whole family.

  • This is our WHY.

    "One of the best purchases I have made concerning skin care. Within the last three weeks, I have seen and felt a dramatic change in my skin's texture and appearance...my skin glows. The products smell wonderful and are easy to use as a skin care routine. The best thing that I have put on my face is "Gravitas"!-Kelishia L.

  • This is our WHY.

    "I am literally so in love with each one of these products! I can’t wait to put them on first thing in the morning, and at night before bed. The smell of the balm is beautiful. Also gives a dewy look after applying. I am forever in love with Savvy Boheme products!" -Megan S.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which product to use for my skin type?

We formulate to promote balance: we use broad spectrum oils, we don't use harsh synthetic chemicals, and we have the power of cofactor synergy occurring in our formulations. Because of that, each of our products is perfect for all skin types: oily, dry, combination, and normal. That leaves you to choose your product according to your mark on the timeline of history:

  • Babies just need a little soap and oil, and sometimes a diapering cream.
  • Teens thrive on our Facial Cleansing Oil and African Black Soap. They LOVE the Bisous Pour Tous Facial Exfoliant and our Lip Tribute Lip Balms, too!
  • Everyone after that age can and should use our Facial Trivium, Gravitas, L'Huile Corp, and everything else we make. Because you deserve it all.
What product works best for eczema?

Eczema is a tricky condition- one size does not fit all when it comes to treatment. We have seen good success with our Facial Trivium in helping eczema symptoms. Our Gravitas Facial Serum helps sooth symptoms as well. Our Whipped Shea Butters are very soothing for instant relief, and our L'Huile Corp (Body + Face+ Shave Oil) works well also. For babies, try our Creme Pour Bebe and our baby soap.

I thought you weren't supposed to exfoliate daily. Why do you suggest it?

Dead skin refuses to be moisturized or nourished. Our faces have 25-30 layers of it on the outer surface. The top layer needs to hop off daily. This is called cellular turnover. Without daily, healthy turnover, the skin becomes susceptible to free radical damage, acne, wrinkles, eczema, age spots, and overall dullness. To promote healthy cellular, daily gentle exfoliation is needed. The trick is to use mild, effective exfoliants to get the job done. Many cosmetic companies use harsh exfoliants like salt, microplastics, crushed shells and seeds, and alphahydroxy acids. They certainly work to exfoliate, but they are too harsh to use daily, and can cause micro tears in the skin, as well as disrupt the skin's natural microbiome.

Our formulations are gentle, simple, completely natural, and are both a mechanical and chemical exfoliant, giving you the best of both abilities.

Our rule: exfoliate in the evening, before bed. It helps to remove the day's grime from the face and allows your body to repair healthily while you sleep.

Do you take back your boxes and bottles? I don't know what to do with them when I'm finished.

We love our biophotonic violetglass bottles and jars. They give our living products an extended life without the use of preservatives. But we also know YOU know that they're too valuable for you to throw away.

We aren't able to reuse them because of sanitization restraints, but we have two solutions for you:

1. Refill bags and jars for Gravitas, Bisous Pour Tous, and Raven's Balm are coming in 2024. Watch for it!

2. Here are 16 ways to repurpose your beautiful jars and bottles. ✨

As for the Facial Trivium boxes: if you are local and want to return your boxes to the store, we will gladly take them! We'll even give you a thank you gift for them! Thank you for thinking of us!

Where is your store located?

Our retail store is located in historic downtown Waxahachie in the Atelier building at 308 South Rogers Street, Waxahachie, Tx 75165.

Why do your facial products come in such large containers?

At Savvy Bohème, we are no-nonsense: we believe in one-stop shopping and multifunctional use. Since we formulate with real, raw ingredients, we know that one ingredient, like castor oil, for example, can be used for many functions in skincare. We also know that we could take any of our formulations and repackage them into dozens of other products with different uses, despite being the same formulation. Many brands do exactly that. But we want to honor YOU. We also know you aren't stupid- you see though those marketing tactics.

As such, we know that our Bisous Pour Tous Facial Exfoliant can be used on the entire body effectively. And our African Black Soap works wonders on the scalp. And Raven's Balm Moisturizer is a skin savior for dry elbows and heels. We know you'll want to use these products head to toe, rightfully. So we made them big enough to do so. And ounce for ounce, the cost of each REAL, RAW product is a STEAL!

We do it for YOU. Because we want you to have what you need for no-nonsense luxury skin care, head to toe!
