| Although I love the colors and crispness of Autumn, Spring is my favorite season. The quiet Winter landscape has blossomed into vibrant colors which, along with extended hours of daylight, lift my spirits. The starlings are back to building nests in my eaves, the raccoons are in my birdfeeders, the ramps (wild leeks) are up in our woods, my pond is full of algae and I am itching to plant my garden. Spring is here! |
Spring always inspires me! So of course that means some new products at Chagrin Valley Soap.
Peaches &
Cream Soap
Our Spring seasonal soap is Peaches & Cream. A sensuously scented body and complexion bar made with real peaches, heavy cream and virgin palm oil to nourish and soften skin. Peaches and virgin palm, chocked full of vitamins, minerals, and beta carotene, moisturize, hydrate, and firm dull, dry skin. Heavy cream, with its very high butterfat content, softens and helps retain skin’s natural moisture |

Feminine Dryness
Although we have had some great feedback
from woman using our Calendula Salve as a natural lubricant, we have
received numerous requests for a natural vaginal oil.
|

Vaginal dryness is a problem for millions of women. As we get older, our bodies produce less and less lubrication.
Also, anything that interferes with the production of estrogen, like menopause, breastfeeding, or breast cancer medication, can cause feminine dryness.
Since many women need additional lubrication, the cosmetic industry has jumped to the rescue. Unfortunately, so many commercial lubricants are made with ingredients that cause more problems than they solve. Alcohol, petroleum derivatives, synthetic preservatives, dyes and artificial fragrances can
cause burning, inflammation and allergic reactions that result in painful vaginal irritation. Glycerin may feel soothing, but as a byproduct of sugar, may lead to vaginal yeast infections. |

Intimate
Oil
Formulated with soothing and healing organic herbs (calendula, elder flowers, plantain and marshmallow root)
and oils, our 100% natural herbal lubricant is perfect for intimate times when vaginal dryness is a problem. Nothing artificial, nothing synthetic, just wholesome natural ingredients you can trust.
|
Please Note: Oil based lubricants should not be used with latex condoms
|
Nipple
Salve
The skin on your nipples is very sensitive and the early days of breastfeeding can sometimes mean sore, chapped, or cracked nipples. Our soothing, organic, herbal Nipple Salve forms a protective moisturizing barrier to prevent excessive dryness and help ease sore nipples. All ingredients are safe for babies- no need to wash it off before nursing!
Also great for Jogger's nipple, a common injury for runners when the nipples get irritated from rubbing against their shirts
while jogging.
