Ida's Soap Box

I recently had a severe psoriasis flare up on my arms and back accompanied by incessant itching and oozing from the sores. Doctors, naturopaths, homeopathy, a vegan diet, wheat germ oil, castor packs, topical cortisone--nothing worked. Your soaps have really helped my skin heal. I appreciate all your hard work and dedication. As I've said once before, you are truly the soap maker from heaven.

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.
