Why Handmade Matters: The Backyard Bougie Difference
Hey y’all! Welcome to the Backyard Bougie blog, where we spill the tea (or soap bubbles) on all things bath, body, and home decor. Today, we want to talk about something near and dear to our hearts—why handmade products matter and what makes Backyard Bougie stand out from the rest.
Why Handmade?
In today’s world, it’s easy to buy mass-produced products from big-name stores. But handmade? That’s where the magic happens. Every product we create is made with love, care, and attention to detail. It’s more than just soap or body butter—it’s a little piece of art for your skin.
When you choose handmade, you’re not just picking a product; you’re supporting a real person’s craft, passion, and hard work. At Backyard Bougie, each item is created from scratch, with thoughtfully selected ingredients that make a difference for your skin and your overall self-care experience.
Skin-Loving Ingredients
One of the reasons we fell in love with formulating bath and body products is the ability to choose only the best ingredients. We don’t cut corners—whether it’s rich shea butter in our body butters, or the premium essential oils in our soaps and scrubs, we make sure every product nourishes your skin the way it deserves.
No harsh chemicals, no junk fillers—just the good stuff that hydrates, soothes, and makes you feel like the glowing superstar you are.
The Zen of Creation
Creating these products isn’t just about skincare for us—it’s our “zen.” After almost 20 years in nursing, 10 of those as a certified wound care nurse, we discovered how much we missed caring for skin and how fun chemistry could be. Formulating bath bombs, scrubs, soaps, and lotions has become our way to de-stress from the daily grind and dive into something creative and fulfilling.
Our passion comes through in every bar of soap, every sugar scrub, and every drop of our whipped body butter. It’s about more than just crafting a product—it’s about creating a sensory experience that helps you unwind and enjoy a moment of self-care.
The Backyard Bougie Vibe
What makes Backyard Bougie unique? Well, we like to say we’re a little bit backyard and a whole lot bougie! That means you get down-home, handcrafted goodness with a splash of sass and luxury. Our products are made for those who appreciate a little humor, a touch of class, and, most importantly, a whole lot of pampering.
Whether you’re here for our Damn Good Soap collection, our skin-nourishing body butters, or our custom home decor, we want to give you an experience that’s as fun and luxurious as it is personal.
Supporting Small Business
When you shop with us, you’re not just buying a product—you’re supporting a dream. Small businesses like Backyard Bougie thrive on the support of amazing customers like you. Every purchase you make helps us grow and continue doing what we love—creating products that make your skin (and your space) happy.
