Vivian Savia is the CEO of Nature’s Bar, a thriving skin care company she founded in 2015. Her journey into the skin care industry began unexpectedly during a holiday in Dubai, where she encountered high-quality soap products that sparked her interest in bringing them to Nigeria. However, upon delving into research on YouTube, Vivian discovered the potential to create her own line of natural skin care products in Nigeria.
The ethos of Nature’s Bar is rooted in its name, symbolizing the purity and natural essence of its products. Vivian is passionate about offering skin care solutions that are 100% natural, free from harmful chemicals that could harm both the skin and the environment.
To hone her skills in soap making and natural skin care formulation, Vivian pursued professional training at the Little Soap School in the UK, where she gained certification in creating natural skin care products.
At Nature’s Bar, a wide range of products is available, including coal soaps in eight variants infused with ingredients like sweet orange oil and French lavender oil. The company also offers sugar-based scrubs and other natural skin care essentials.
One of the distinctive aspects of Nature’s Bar is its commitment to local sourcing and production. While some raw materials are obtained locally, contributing to the empowerment of local entrepreneurs, essential oils and clays are imported to maintain product quality.
Running a successful business comes with its challenges, and Vivian has navigated obstacles such as fluctuations in forex prices, inflation, and unreliable electricity supply. Despite these challenges, she remains dedicated to maintaining affordable prices for her customers without compromising on product quality.
Nature’s Bar has experienced remarkable growth since its inception, initially starting with a customer base of friends and family and expanding to serve customers across all 36 states in Nigeria. The demand for Nature’s Bar products has transcended borders, with inquiries and orders coming from international markets such as the US, UK, China, and more.
