Ida's Soap Box

The labor intensive aspects of growing and harvesting vanilla beans, the effects of bad weather conditions and the consumer demand for natural vanilla bean products has been driving up the price of vanilla beans.

Chagrin Valley Herbal Detangler Tea Rinse is an herbal hair tea made with specially selected organic herbs and botanicals that will help decrease tangles naturally and will not damage hair or cause build up.

"Build up" in our hair and scalp is often unavoidable. While build-up can cause hair to look dull and lifeless, it can make adjusting to shampoo bars especially frustrating.

While the process for making a shampoo bar is the same as making soap and the ingredients are similar, a well-formulated shampoo bar is not your typical soap bar. Shampoo bar "recipes" are tweaked to use different proportions of oils and butters and to include botanicals, like nettles right, herb infused oils and essential oils that are known to help nourish the hair and scalp.
