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.

United StatesSuch soap! Much lather!
I use Viori regularly, but was running low on shampoo and saw it here when I was trying to reach the tier for the free gift I used it last night and it lathers much better than the Viori shampoo (not that that means it’s superior), and my hair is soft and light today. I love that it’s all natural ingredients (a MUST for me nowadays), and think it will last me a good long time!
United StatesGreat product
My husband loves this shampoo bar! He ordered the same one with the last package too! :)

United StatesStill in disbelief with my amazing results!
I have a thyroid issue along with anemia. So no matter what shampoos I use, I MUST have a conditioner. I go to an organic hair salon for protein and hydration treatments every few months. It lasts a couple of weeks, and then I'm fighting to keep my hair hydrated with the salon's commercial organic shampoos and conditioners. I decided to buy this shampoo bar for my husband, so we have fewer containers as we travel this summer. (I have a lot of potions to make my hair soft and healthy-looking. Someone has to cut back for the sake of lighter travel.) Part of me wanted to try it first, but I let him be my unwitting test subject. He liked it. I was surprised he tried it, then even more surprised when he commented on it. He's the average guy, and as long as it's this side of a caustic substance, he doesn't care. That impressed me. Then, the other morning just before an important meeting, I couldn't resist any longer. I grabbed the Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve Herb Garden Shampoo Bar and went to work. I can't believe my results. My hair is soft and manageable without using a conditioner. And I was in disbelief my hair didn't do its standard matting from the organic shampoo drying it out. So I opted not to use my organic conditioner. I was test-driving this bar as far as it would take me. My hair felt and looked amazing all day. When I woke up the following day, I didn't need a comb to fix my hair. Instead, my fingers slid through it, barely encountering a single tangle. Then, I raced to the vanity mirror to see if I was really awake. My organic-salon shampoo and conditioner leaves the hair on the crown of my head flat. This shampoo bar gave me a little lift and gentle waves. My hair is naturally curly, and, for the past decade, my curls have been either unruly frizz or non-existent. Now, I have soft waves returning. I usually wash my hair twice a week to prevent over-drying. Now, I want to wash it twice a day to watch what happens. I'll resist, but I think I've found the answer to my hair's health. I've told everyone I've seen lately. No longer will I dread washing my hair. On the contrary, I can't wait to do it again. Thank you for such a fine and healthy alternative to even costly, not-so-helpful, organic shampoos. If you are wondering if you should try this, my answer is a resounding yes. You may be as amazed as I am with the results. Oh, and instead of a carry-on bag filled with hair products, I'm tucking a few Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve Herb Garden Shampoo bars in my bag to use and gift.
