The Story Behind ‘Savage’ :

Savage may not be the most feminine name for a product created by a female, but read below and you will totally understand how the name fits perfectly and how it’s meant to encourage light-heartedness.

It’s a name she was coined by her family because she’s always on the go and taking care of anything that needs attention. Her motto is, “Don’t put off ‘till tomorrow what can be done today.” She doesn’t like to be idle unless she’s sitting on the beach. It didn’t take long before her daughters started gifting her “Savage” tee shirts and sweatshirts as a joke. Perhaps one of the clinches was when she was preparing a Christmas meal. The sweet potato was so huge she couldn’t cut it with a knife, so she took it outside (in the dead of Winter while only wearing bike shorts & a tee shirt!) with bare feet and a cleaver, and placed it on the ground to split it. Thankfully missing her toes! Of course, unbeknownst to her, her daughter caught it on video.

In the Beginning: So many businesses start in garages. Not this one! Being a female run company, Donna chose the studio designed basement in her home equipped with the amenities and cleanliness called “The Lab”. This is where she goes into “alchemist mode” to do her planning and blending.

Fun Facts about the Dandelion Logo: Don’t spray the Dandelions!

These beautiful yellow flowering herbs are often thought of as the lawn weed that everyone tries to be rid of, but the dandelion is one of the most resilient herbs in herbal medicine for centuries. Hence, it’ll always grow back after being mowed over :-)

It symbolizes hope, healing, and resilience. While brainstorming over what our logo should be, Donna fell in love with the perseverance of these little dandelions and how much strength they embody. Of course everyone has childhood memories of blowing on the “puff ball” and making a wish! Whats even more to love about them is that they’re also early Spring pollinators for bees!
