Ida's Soap Box

I am writing because I am completely amazed with your products. I had an acne problem that wouldn't go away. NEVER thought I would get results this fast. I am so grateful for your products. This is way better than the dermatologist treatments, the pharmacy treatments, and TV offers.

If you are asking the question: Do you use lye (sodium hydroxide) to make Chagrin Valley Natural Soap? The answer is... of course. No lye . . . No soap! If you are asking the question: Is there lye in a bar of Chagrin Valley soap or shampoo? The answer is "No."

I have a condition called Keratosis Pilaris. KP for short and it effects so many people it is almost considered "common". Let me just tell you......I am blown away and absolutely, literally almost speechless.....when I saw what was happening from using your products. I would even be willing to STOP using the products for about a week and let it all come back....just so that I can take some before and after photos.

Are you looking for natural soaps made with real organic ingredients? Sadly, reading labels provides little help and can be very confusing. Soap is a special case when it comes to labeling—it seems there are no rules. The FDA does not require the ingredients to be listed on a bar of soap and these days the word “natural” has little meaning and the word “organic” has been hijacked as a marketing tool. So how can you make good choices?
