Self-Care For The Black Sheep & Bold Hearts

For anybody who's ever been told they're a little too much: taking up space and smelling amazing was always the plan.

Handmade in Small Batches

Nothing mass-produced. If it's in stock, Savanna made it recently, by hand, on purpose.

Queer-Owned & Proud

Not a rainbow logo slapped on in June. This shop is queer at the root, year-round.

Real, Simple Ingredients

Calendula, arnica, magnesium, shea: stuff you can actually pronounce and trust.

Rooted in Upstate SC

Grown at farmers markets and Pride tables across the Upstate, one conversation at a time.

Tried & True

Small Batch, Big Feels

The stuff y'all keep coming back for, from the flagship tee to the salve that actually gets your skin (and your sleep) to behave.

Our Story

Made By Hand, Made For Y'all

Y'allternative Living started the way most good things do around here: with someone who was tired of choosing between "self-care" and "actually affordable," so she made the stuff herself. Every salve, soak and scrub is stirred, poured, and labeled by hand in Landrum, SC.

Southern-raised, alt-inspired, and unapologetically queer, we make the stuff we wish existed for us.

What Y'all Are Saying

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.

"10/10 stars. Reordering again, gave as gifts for x-mas for my family and friends. Kept two for myself and just gave one to my son to help with razor burn. This has helped him so much and has helped me with everything from razor burn to rashes. Thank you"

"Packaging was super cute. Love that it came with a scooper. Most relaxing bath ever! Rinses out clean, no residue."

Elaina (Etsy)
Rated 5 out of 5 stars.

"I swear by this bath soak! I love working in my yard but tend to overdo it. Works so well for drawing out inflamation from achy muscles. Leaves my skin soft and smells like heaven."
