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.
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.

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.

Wet the bar and lather it in your hands. Massage the suds in your scalp, then work them down to your ends. Wash it out and voila! You're on your way to a good hair day. For straight hair, we recommend conditioning with their vinegar rinse.

United StatesGoing back to basics
Short version: I'm an Esthiology educator by trade my entire adult life..so I've had exposure to the best of the best products...I'm 60, menopause, aging and long term use of " organic and natural products..but on bottle for ( have made my hair brittle and damaged). Going back to basics...I researched the kinds of soaps my grandma used to make, we were the envy of beautiful hair with our bar ( homemade by grandma, shampoo and vinegar hair rinses). Going back to my basic hair care,my hair is shinier, stronger and with less breakage with only one weeks use. Needless to say I'm sold and have ordered more products to try. Love this company but I wish Hive carried more of their products. Love Hive with their outstanding customer service.
