Product Overview

An unscented organic baby powder for delicate skin formulated with finely milled vegetable root powders, skin soothing botanicals and silky clay that work together to absorb moisture and keep baby dry while soothing and softening the skin.

Made with simple organic ingredients, our safe, gentle baby powder can be used under the chin, arms and other baby folds and rolls to keep skin soft, fresh and dry.

Use to lightly dust your baby’s bottom between changes to freshen the diaper area. Also:

Soothe chafing
Soothe prickly heat and skin irritation
Tapioca flour and kaolin clay absorb moisture — without the use of talc
Talc free, cornstarch free, grain free, synthetic free
Fragrance free

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If any adverse reaction develops, stop use and contact a physician.

Our Unscented Baby Powder is not just for babies! It is perfect for sensitive skin at any age and can be used on armpits, on feet, and anywhere you need to absorb moisture.

Although many natural baby powders substitute cornstarch for talc, cornstarch can promote the growth of yeast and exacerbate rashes—so we don’t use it!

Our organic Body Powders are packaged in paperboard tubes made from recycled paper with FSC certification. We are in the process of shifting to all paperboard sifter tops, some older tubes still have a plastic sifter top.

How To Use

For the Baby

Inhaling powder is problematic for any baby, since their tiny lungs are still developing. NEVER shake baby powder directly onto your baby's skin. Instead sprinkle a very small amount of powder into your hands (away from the baby) and then apply gently to avoid producing a cloud of powder.

There is no need to dust your whole baby with powder, use it sparingly only where it is needed.

A natural baby powder can help soothe chafing or help with stinky skin folds, which can be particularly useful in humid weather. Using a small amount of powder in your hands, gently massage the powder into armpits, neck creases, and any other baby folds and rolls to keep skin soft, fresh and dry.

A natural baby powder can help ease symptoms of heat rash which can be uncomfortable for a baby. To reduce the discomfort, dress your baby in loose, cotton clothes that are breathable. Massage a dab natural powder onto affected areas to keep baby's skin dry, free from sweat, and help reduce the itching and irritation associated with heat rash.

Feel free to use our natural powder your baby’s bottom between changes to freshen the diaper area. While baby powder will help keep the baby’s skin dry and prevent chafing it is not the best treatment for diaper rash. A wholesome organic Bum Salve is a better choice for diaper rash.

To prevent skin irritation, do not allow powder to build up. At every diaper change, wash away any powder that may have accumulated, especially in the folds of your baby's skin.

Our Unscented Baby Powder is not just for babies! It is perfect for sensitive skin at any age and can be used on armpits, on feet, and anywhere you need to absorb moisture.

Body Powder For Adults

For velvety soft skin, use on clean, DRY skin after bathing or showering

We recommend sprinkling the powder on your hand first and then applying it to a specific area as opposed to shaking it directly on the skin. It is less messy and will save you from wasting powder.

Tap a small amount of dusting powder into the palm of your hand, powder puff or powder brush.
Pat evenly over skin ensuring the powder is evenly spread and worked into the skin to stay fresh, dry and silky smooth.
Add more if needed.
For the delicate décolleté area (neck and upper chest) try a makeup brush.
If using body powder, do not use a moisturizer first. These two products do not play well together!

To Prevent Chafing and Odor

Pay special attention to areas where you perspire most.
Sprinkle a small amount of powder onto your hand and apply to those areas.
Gently massage the powder into the skin until it is fully incorporated.

As a Gentle Powder Underarm Deodorant

For best results, make sure your underarms are clean and dry.
Sprinkle a small amount of powder onto your hand, powder puff, or powder brush.
Rub your hands together and feel the silky, soft, naturally absorbent powders that will help keep you fresh.
Massage the powder into your underarms and cover the entire surface area of your armpits until it is absorbed into the skin.
It may take time for your body to adapt to any natural deodorant if you currently use antiperspirant.
During hot, muggy summer months some people like to add a bit of body powder on top of their deodorant

Our super absorbent, fresh scented body powders are so versatile and have many uses

Extra Tips:

Freshen Sheets: Sprinkle a tiny amount of powder over the bottom bedsheet where you sleep. Use your hand to rub the powder into the sheet until there is a very smooth tiny layer of powder dust. Enjoy the silky feeling as you slip into your bed.

Head to the Beach: Pack your powder when going to the beach. Simply sprinkle the powder onto your hands and rub it onto sandy areas to remove sand from your body. Since the powder absorbs moisture from the skin, the sand has nowhere to stick!

A great product for traveling since one powder can do it all in a pinch

All-over body deodorant and freshener
Sprinkle on your feet
Sprinkle anywhere you want to keep odors in check- shoes, gym bag, etc.
Sprinkle on your scalp to absorb dirt and oil

For External use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If any adverse reaction develops, stop use and contact a physician.

When using any new product on infants or young children we recommend a patch test for allergies. Click Here for Patch Test Information.

Featured Ingredients

Kaolin Clay

Kaolin is one of the mildest and purest of all natural clays. It can be used on dry or sensitive skin and is often used in fine face powders. The colors of Kaolin clays can vary and are due to the mineral content of the rock areas from which they are mined. In hair care, gentle and rich in silica, kaolin clay helps clean scalp without drying. It calms inflammation and helps moisturize dry, brittle hair. Read More

Organic Tapioca Flour

Tapioca Flour is a starch extracted from the root of the cassava plant (Manihot esculenta). Native to Brazil, it is now cultivated worldwide. The cassava root is a gluten-free product. It is often used in cooking as a replacement for cornstarch in thickening puddings and sauces. In herbal medicine, the roots are made into a poultice and applied to the skin as a treatment for skin irritations. It is a highly absorbent powder, imparts a silky texture to body creams, and helps decrease the oily feeling of natural oils and butters. It has a very fine, velvety soft texture, and its absorbent properties make it a great base for body powders and dry shampoos, where it absorbs sweat and skin or scalp oils and can act as a gentle natural deodorant/antiperspirant. Tapioca helps calm skin irritations, is good for all skin types and is particularly gentle on sensitive skin, making it ideal for baby care products. It is great substitute for cornstarch as well as a natural replacement for talc. All tapioca flour (starch) is not created equal. The tapioca sold for cosmetic use is often “modified tapioca starch,” because it does not clump and flows more easily. This form of tapioca is often modified with a silicone to give it more slip. The biggest concern when using any modified food starch is that there is virtually no way to know what chemicals were used to "modify" it or what trace chemical contamination remains in the product. Our organic tapioca... Read More

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Your Natural Skincare Products While Pregnant or Nursing?

Natural Organic Skin Care for Babies & Infants We often receive questions as to whether our soaps, shampoos, and other natural products are safe to use during pregnancy.

We recommend that expectant and nursing mothers check with their midwife or physician before changing a skincare routine with our organic products, or any other line of products.

Read the label on a bar of commercial soap. Read the label on your jar of moisturizer.

Now read the ingredients in a Chagrin Valley product.

We use quality natural and USDA Certified Organic ingredients. No synthetic additives, colorants, fragrances, preservatives, or chemical derivatives are used.

There is nothing in our all-natural basic soap or other products that could cause a problem in pregnancy.

Topically applying the herbs present in many of our soaps is also not a problem. Your skin will absorb much less herb from the soap than if you would sprinkle them on your food.

Essential Oils

The issue that seems to be of most concern is the use of essential oils during pregnancy.

There is a lot of confusing, ambiguous, and inaccurate information concerning the use of essential oils in pregnancy.

The question of safety and safety testing has a lot to do with several factors.

The type and composition of the specific essential oil. Essential oils differ greatly in strength and composition.
The quality of the essential oil. Many "cheap essential oils" are not pure and maybe cut with synthetic chemicals.
The actual “dose” of herb/essential oils. Most of the clinical research on essential oil safety is based on information for internal (actually ingesting) large doses of herbs, essential oils, or herbal "medicines." Obviously there have been no tests done on pregnant women.
How the essential oil is being used. The concentration of essential oils that are absorbed through inhalation, as in aromatherapy, and massage is much lower than if you were actually ingesting the oil.

But also, aromatherapy and massage therapy use much higher concentrations of essential oils than you find in soap or even in eating the herb. With aromatherapy, you are inhaling the high concentrations which get absorbed via the lungs and in massage therapy, the essential oils remain on your skin and are absorbed.

Our scented soaps are gently scented with essential oils, but the choice is between you and your health care professional. The most critical time is the first trimester.

Just about every one of our products, like lip balms, whipped butters, soaps, shampoos, and deodorants has a "no added scent" version.

When there is a growing baby to consider, if you are at all uncertain as to the safety of an essential-oil containing product, or any ingredient, please consult your doctor, midwife, or health care professional!

When it comes to safety during pregnancy it is understandable that many massage therapists and aromatherapists decide to err on the side of caution in recommending the avoidance of certain essential oils.

Some Herbalists and Aromatherapist believe that essential oils that are normally safe to use, are safe during pregnancy, while others will recommend avoiding all essential oils during pregnancy.

Some essential oils that are normally quite safe have hormone-like effects and some even stimulate uterine muscles, both of which would be contraindicated during pregnancy.

Please do not ask us if one of our products is safe to use during pregnancy--we will simply refer you to this page.

We do not provide a list of essential oils considered safe during pregnancy because the information available is very contradictory. One aromatherapy source will list an essential oil as problematic while another one states it is fine.

The information is also changing constantly. Please do your own research and consult your doctor, midwife, or health care professional for the most up-to-date information.

Sensitive Skin Can Strike During Pregnancy

Even if you have never had sensitive skin in the past, you may notice that a product you have been using for several years now irritates your skin.

The stretching belly is often the most sensitive spot. Other potential problem areas include the hips, thighs, and bottom where the skin may become dry and flaky.

Although the exact cause is not known, raging hormones do make you more sensitive to a wide range of things, and also your skin is thinning and stretching as you, and your baby, grow.

These changes can behave in unpredictable ways. For example, if you have eczema you may suffer from major flare-ups or complete remission during pregnancy.

Keep your body well moisturized and avoid products that contain synthetic additives, colorants, fragrances, or preservatives. Any of these can exacerbate sensitive skin problems.

Before trying a new product, you can always do a patch test to test for sensitivity.

And again, we recommend that expectant and nursing mothers check with their midwife or physician before changing a skincare routine with our products, or any other line of products.

Pregnancy & Children: We do not provide information on the safety of essential oils during Pregnancy or for use in Children because the available information is very ambiguous and often contradictory. If you’re interested in using essential oils during pregnancy or with young children please do your own research and consult your doctor, midwife, or health care professional before use.

Can I Use Your Products on my Baby or Young Children?

We often receive questions as to whether our soaps, shampoos, and other items are safe to use on young children.

A baby’s skin, so thin and delicate, is no place for harmful synthetic chemicals.

Sadly, even some of the most trusted baby brands add nasty chemicals to their products.

Read the label on a bar of commercial baby soap or shampoo. Read the label on a bottle of commercial baby oil. Now read the ingredients in Chagrin Valley products.

We recommend starting with our Milk & Honey Baby Soap. We also recommend our two Castile soaps and Carrot & Honey Soap. They are unscented and, as with all of our products, contain no artificial ingredients!

My grandkids use our Milk & Honey bar as a baby shampoo--just keep the soap away from their eyes.

When you think your child is ready, try some new soaps.

As with all new products, it is best to do a skin patch test prior to full usage to test for any skin allergies or sensitivities. If you have any questions or concerns always check with your doctor or health care professional.

It is best to add only one new soap or product at a time and use it for a while before switching to a new soap.

Essential Oils & Children: We do not provide information on the safety of essential oils for use in Children because the available information is very ambiguous and often contradictory. If you are interested in using essential oils with young children please consult your health care professional before use.

Please do not ask us to diagnose your child's skin problems, we are not health care professionals. Our recommendations are based on what our customers have shared.

Are Chagrin Valley Ingredients & Products USDA Certified Organic?

Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve is a USDA Certified Organic Company

The most important consideration in any business is its customers. Today's world of misleading claims, false advertising, and simple deception, often leaves consumers trying to discover the truth about personal products and their ingredients.

We want our customers to know that we are committed to transparency in everything we do.
We want our customers to know that when we say "organic," we mean it.
We believe that in becoming a USDA Certified Organic company, our customers do not have to wonder if we really use certified organic ingredients or if our organic products are truly organic.
So we choose to be a certified organic company and abide by the strict standards required for organic certification.

Some of my favorite products are made with ingredients that just do not exist as certified organic. Why? At this time there are no standards created for ingredients specifically used in the personal care product industry. Organic certification of personal care products is based on the organic food standards set by the National Organic Program of the USDA.

But since we are a certified organic company, we are required to submit documentation that even our "non-organic ingredients" were produced without the use of toxic pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), sewage sludge, or irradiation.
