How it does good

Quality personal care products made with local, organic ingredients

• 

  recyclable packaging

  All packaging is over 99% plastic-free. Chagrin Valley opts for cardboard made from recycled paper or recycled tin-plated steel. Even better: you can recycle all empty Chagrin Valley products in your curbside bin.
• 

  responsible sourcing

  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.
• 

  low carbon footprint

  Co-founders Ida and Sam search for ingredients locally first. 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.
• 

  supporting key causes

  Chagrin Valley goes above and beyond to support communities at the local and national level. They sponsor a number of charities that provide necessities to underserved populations. They also donate 1% of profits to The Western Reserve Land Conservancy's Urban Reforestry Project, which helps make inner-city neighborhoods greener.
