Ida's Soap Box

Chagrin Valley Natural Soaps and Shampoo Bars are handcrafted in small batches using the time-honored, old-fashioned Cold Process Method, which means that the soap batter is not heated by any external means.

I just wanted to tell you how your soaps have literally saved my skin . . . after using your soaps I have had no allergic reactions whatsoever! I used to have dry skin and eczema and now that is completely gone! I used to get mild acne breakouts and blackheads too, and those have completely gone as well! I had no idea commercial products were actually making my skin WORSE.

I recently purchased a bunch of samples of your complexion and shampoo bars, as well as your Squalane, Whipped Cocoa Butter, and facial oils, and I wanted to share my experience with these products.

You started using a natural shampoo bar and love the all-natural ingredients nourishing your hair and scalp, and being green by not buying bottles of shampoo & conditioner. Only one problem-- your hair feels weird. Is this normal? What's going on? While it doesn't happen to everyone, this is our most common question from customers who are adjusting to our natural conditioning shampoo bars.
