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.

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.

For best results, apply facial oil to warm and damp (not wet) skin. Facial oils are better able to lock in moisture when the pores are open after a warm wash. damp skin ensures that they spread evenly and absorb effectively into your skin. We recommend using around 4 to 6 drops for the face and neck area.

United StatesNoticeable Improvement
I had some very dry areas under my eyes and upper cheek areas. After using Sea Buckthorn Tamanu Facial Oil, those areas have shown noticeable improvement. I highly recommend this product to combat signs of aging.
United StatesGreat (if colorful) product
I purchased this facial oil recently, trying to avoid giving more money to Jeff Bezos. Facial skin feels great since I began using it. It’s only been a couple of weeks, but so far the results are positive. It isn’t has heavily slick as most of the facial oils I’ve used, which I appreciate. I also greatly approve of the work Hive does to produce and ship their products in a socially and environmentally positive way. Biggest drawback by far is the coloration. It has an orange-yellow tinge to it, similar to the numbing ointment they apply to your arm before drawing blood. If you leave it on as is, your skin looks Trump-ish - I wait a few minutes after application, then rinse my face with a VERY small amount of warm water. The color goes away, but my skin remains moisturized.
