How it does good
Quality personal care products made with local, organic ingredients
Let’s get one thing straight before we dive into Chagrin Valley’s admirable practices: their #1 goal is to offer top-quality natural skin care for you. How do they do it? By sourcing local, organic ingredients that are minimally processed and free from any synthetics, dyes, or chemicals. They don’t stop at the products either. Chagrin uses 99% plastic-free, recyclable packaging. Most of that packaging is also made with recycled paper or steel. Because it isn’t enough to just keep you clean, Chagrin Valley is dedicated to keeping our earth clean, too.
Chagrin Valley sources ingredients from local farmers, small businesses, and companies known for their environmental stewardship. Every product is guaranteed USDA organic, non-GMO, and fair trade certified.

They call this idea “Local Symbiosis,” where brands in northern Ohio can work together to reduce waste and rely on each other to create quality goods. Chagrin Valley products incorporate locally-grown grains, beer, coffee, and goats milk.

About the Brand
Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve
Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve is a small family-owned and operated company that began as a hobby born out of a concern about the synthetic ingredients in skincare products and the adverse effects of these ingredients on our skin, our children and our environment. As a result, they're dedicated to crafting high quality, healthy and effective skin and hair care products made with awesome ingredients.

Apply to exposed skin and pulse points on your body where the scent can last longer: behind the ear, on the wrists, inside the elbow, or behind the knees. Most effective if applied about 5 minutes before venturing outside. For small children and those with sensitive skin, we recommend doing a patch test before use. Avoid contact with eyes, and in case of eye contact, wash eyes with plenty of water.
