Hey y’all, welcome to Backyard Bougie! I’m April, a nurse of almost 20 years, and for 10 of those years, I was a certified wound care nurse. While I’ve stepped away from wound care, I realized how much I miss caring for the skin—and how much I love chemistry. That’s where my passion for bath and body products began!
After years of nursing, I found an outlet from the stress by creating things with my hands. The process of formulating luxurious, skin-loving products became my own personal “zen.” I quickly discovered that mixing ingredients and crafting soaps, lotions, and other goodies wasn’t just relaxing—it was something I truly loved.
And as for Backyard Bougie? Well, the name just fit! We’re a little bit backyard—down-home, hardworking, and no-frills—but a whole lot bougie, with a touch of luxury and style in everything we create. It’s the perfect blend of who we are and what we make: handcrafted products with a whole lot of heart, made to pamper and spoil your skin.
At Backyard Bougie, we’re all about taking the best of nature and a little science magic to create products that make your skin feel amazing. Everything is handcrafted with care, using only premium ingredients to ensure you’re getting the best. It’s a mix of skincare expertise, chemistry fun, and a dash of sass—all served up with a whole lot of love.
Thanks for stopping by! Whether you’re here for bath and body treats, personalized gifts, or home decor, we hope our creations bring a little “zen” into your life, too.
