Facial Trivium Set
The word “Trivium” defines the place where three roads meet. And in this case, that is exactly what has happened.
Savvy Bohème set out on a journey to discover the most effective, yet simplistic way to care for the face without complicated steps, “advanced technology”, or using ingredients with extra-long syllables including the letters “Z” and “X”- we really do like to stick to the basics.
And during our first year of discovery, our customers played a very large role in directing our steps. Over and over, people were telling us how they were using their Savvy Bohème products, and a common thread was occurring in the conversations: combine the African Black Soap lather and Bisous Pour Tous Facial Exfoliant to save a step; Then apply Raven’s Balm to freshly prepared skin.
Everyone kept saying the same thing: They loved how it made their skin look and feel.
So, I started training our new customers to do the same, and have gotten the same reviews: “Love it!”
But, as always, I want you all to understand how and why the combination works so well. So if you are interested, read this:
African Black Soap is an extremely clarifying facial (and body…and hair) cleanser that removes makeup and environmental grime and draws impurities to the surface of the skin.
Bisous Pour Tous Facial Exfoliant uses organic, Fair Trade coffee and sugar as gentle exfoliants to remove dead skin, and contains naturally occurring glycolic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid) to give you a deep exfoliation, making your face offensive to free radicals (aka..zit and wrinkle causers!). Also, highly beneficial oils, kosher vegetable glycerin, and honey are used to remove the oxidized oils holding the dead skin to your face and moisturize the new cellular turnover.
Raven’s Balm moisturizes your freshly prepared palette and gives your face a breathable moisture barrier of protection. It works double-duty as a primer for foundation makeup, too!
Directions: Lather African Black Soap into hands; Set soap bar/cube aside. Sprinkle Bisous Pour Tous Facial Exfoliant into lather and scrub face in a circular motion. Rinse. Finish with Raven’s Balm on clean, towel-dried skin.

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!
