What Sets Bath Savvy Apart Bath Savvy is a handcrafted bath and body brand based in Ferndale, Michigan, known for its natural ingredients, signature scents, and immersive customer experiences. Since 2010, we’ve specialized in small-batch soaps, oil creams, sugar scrubs, eucalyptus shower bombs, and custom-scented products designed to elevate self-care. What truly sets us apart is the combination of clean, luxurious formulas and our one-of-a-kind Scent Experience workshops that attract customers from all over Metro Detroit and beyond. As a Michigan-made, woman-owned business with a strong community presence, Bath Savvy blends craftsmanship, creativity, and connection into every product and every visit. A Handmade Bath & Body Brand with Heart and History Bath Savvy was founded by Shannon Reaves, a Metro Detroit entrepreneur driven by the desire to create clean, high-performing bath products that feel luxurious without the harsh chemicals found in many mainstream brands. Much of the inspiration for Bath Savvy came from Shannon’s late mother, who played a huge role in shaping the brand’s early recipes, creativity, and spirit. Today, Bath Savvy continues to honor that legacy by crafting products with care, intention, and a personal touch that customers immediately recognize. What started as a small home-based venture has grown into a beloved local storefront and workshop destination. The Bath Savvy brand has also expanded into national retailers, including select Whole Foods Market and Meijer locations, making it easy for customers across Michigan to shop their favorite products. High-Quality, Small-Batch Products Made in Ferndale, Michigan At Bath Savvy, every product is handcrafted in small batches to ensure freshness, quality, and consistency. We use clean, skin-loving ingredients such as natural oils, butters, botanicals, and phthalate-free fragrances. The product line includes: Artisan bar soaps Whipped oil creams (a customer favorite and best-seller) Exfoliating sugar scrubs Eucalyptus shower bombs Body oils Perfume rollers Bath salts Seasonal gift sets Custom-scented blends Customers love the luxurious textures, long-lasting moisture, and sophisticated fragrances Bath Savvy offers. The oil cream remains one of the brand’s star products due to its ability to moisturize deeply without leaving skin greasy. The eucalyptus shower bombs are another fan favorite, offering a spa-quality aromatherapy experience right at home. Whether someone is shopping for themselves or choosing the perfect gift, Bath Savvy products deliver quality people can feel from the very first use. A One-of-a-Kind Scent Experience Workshop One of the biggest elements that sets Bath Savvy apart is the Scent Experience, an immersive scent-blending workshop that allows guests to create a fully customized bath and body product. This hands-on activity has become one of the most popular things to do in Ferndale and the greater Detroit area—perfect for birthdays, bridal showers, corporate team events, date nights, mother-daughter outings, and girls’ nights out. During a Scent Experience session, guests choose from over 60 scented oils across categories like fruity, floral, sweet, fresh, clean, designer-inspired, plant-based, and essential oil blends. With guidance from the Bath Savvy team, each guest creates a unique scent and uses it to make one of three products: A custom sugar scrub A custom body oil A custom perfume roller Guests can also decorate their product using dried flowers, mica colorants, and custom labels. For many visitors, the ability to name their scent and take home a personalized product makes the experience unforgettable. Bath Savvy also saves each guest’s scent profile, making it easy to reorder or recreate the same blend later. A Warm, Welcoming Workshop and Retail Space Bath Savvy’s Ferndale storefront is intentionally designed to feel cozy, inviting, and inspiring. It's a place where guests can slow down, explore scents, learn about natural skincare, and enjoy some creative fun. Free street parking is available directly across from the store, making visits convenient for local residents and out-of-town guests. Customers often comment on the friendly, supportive staff who help guide them through both product shopping and scent blending. Whether someone walks in to browse handmade soaps or arrives with a full birthday group for a Scent Experience workshop, the Bath Savvy team ensures every guest feels seen, valued, and celebrated.
