Product Overview

Some scents create breathing room

Juniper Mint is fresh, cool, and quietly energizing—where crisp mint meets soft forest notes in a blend that feels clean, open, and steadying. It’s the kind of scent that feels especially welcome after physical effort, long hours on your feet, or days when both muscles and mind feel weighed down.

The Salts

Our bath salts are made with a mineral-rich blend of Himalayan Pink Salt, Mediterranean Sea Salt, and Noirmoutier French Grey Sea Salt, chosen for their texture, trace minerals, and the way they dissolve smoothly into warm water.

Salt baths have long been part of traditional bathing rituals, valued for the way they soften water, leave skin feeling smooth and comfortable, and enhance the deeply relaxing nature of a warm soak.

The Aroma Experience

In warm water, Juniper Mint opens cool and bright, with mint lifting first, followed by juniper’s clean, wood-toned depth. The scent feels refreshing and lightly expansive—like warm skin meeting cool air.

Many people are drawn to this blend when they want to unwind after movement, ease the feeling of tight or overworked muscles, or simply enjoy the sensation of clearer, more open breathing during a soak.

A Natural Way to Scent Salt

Rather than using carrier oils, we blend a trace of essential oil directly into the salt base and allow it to cure slowly over several weeks. This resting period allows the volatile aromatic compounds to mingle, mature, and bind to the salt crystals, creating a soft, integrated scent. As the salts melt into warm water, the aroma is gently released — leaving the water beautifully scented without any oily residue.

The Moment

For post-workout baths, long days, restless evenings, or mornings that call for renewal—when you want your bath to feel both grounding and invigorating, leaving you refreshed rather than heavy.

How To Use

Simple Salt Bath Directions

Soaking in a warm bath is one of the simplest ways to relax and unwind. Adding mineral-rich bath salts enhances the experience by softening the water and allowing the aroma to unfold gently in the steam.

Start with 3–4 heaping tablespoons (about ¼ cup) of bath salts
Pour salts directly into the tub under warm running water
Swirl with your hand to help dissolve
Crystal sizes dissolve at different rates — this is normal
Tub sizes vary, so adjust the amount to your preference
When using scented salts, take a few slow breaths to enjoy the aromatherapy
Soak for 20–30 minutes, then rinse if desired

No Time for a Bath? Try a Salt Shower

Steam infusion

Place ¼–⅓ cup of salt into a muslin bag and hang it from the shower head. Warm water will release the aroma into the steam for a simple, refreshing shower experience.

Salt wash

Place ¼–⅓ cup of salt into a muslin bag and use it as a gentle saltwater washcloth with soap or as a final saltwater rinse.

If you are under a doctor’s care for any medical condition, consult your healthcare provider before taking salt baths.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are essential oils?

What Are Pure Essential Oils?

Have you ever enjoyed the scent of a fragrant flower or herb? The fragrance comes from potent, aromatic compounds called essential oils found in the flowers, stems, seeds, bark, roots, fruits, and other parts of plants. It often requires several pounds of a plant to produce a single bottle of essential oil.

Essential oils not only give plants their unique scents but also help lure plant pollinators and protect plants from insects and other predators.

The chemical composition of essential oils may provide valuable psychological and physical aromatherapeutic benefits for some people.

It is important to note that to be a true essential oil, the oil must be isolated from the plant material by physical means only. Essential oils are NEVER extracted using solvents.

Although synthetic fragrances or "nature identical" oils are available at a much lower cost, only natural plant essential oils will provide any aromatherapeutic benefits.

If you are pregnant or under a doctor's care for any medical condition, please consult your healthcare provider before using essential oils.

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.

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.

Is There an Expiration Date On My Natural Skincare Product?

Product Expiration Dates

Natural Organic Skin Care Products We hand make all of our own products in small batches to ensure freshness, consistency, and perfection.

Our products are not made to sit on store shelves for years and years.

Although there are natural preservatives within the chemical structure of many natural ingredients, they not as potent as the synthetic preservatives used in commercial products to prolong shelf-life.

Other than soap, our products are remade every few weeks and none are very old when they are sold. Our non-soap products should be opened within 6 months of purchase.

Since we use no preservatives or chemical stabilizers, the more important question is, "how long will the product last once it has been opened?

Once opened, skin care products become exposed to dirt and microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, and molds) that are found in the air and on the skin.

As soon as you open and begin to use any product, simply the way in which you use it will affect its lifespan.

So, we use the PAO (period-after-opening) symbol. These symbols are already available on the product pages of our website and we are in the process of adding them to all of our labels.

The POA symbol is a standard symbol that identifies the useful lifetime of a skin care product after it has been opened for the first time.

As you can see from the picture, the symbol is an open jar with a written number and the letter "M" for the word "months."

A product with a "9M" would mean that it is good for 9 months after opening.

Tip: write the date you open a product for the first time on its label so you can keep track of the period after opening.

Our POA number represents our best suggestion. There are many factors that can affect the lifespan of a product. If a product is discolored, has an unpleasant smell or looks odd, the product should not be used and should be discarded.

Each time you place your warm fingers into a tin or jar, you melt some of the butter which can change the consistency of the product.
Fingers also introduce bacteria and other contaminants into the product.
If a product has not been stored properly, for example, if the lid has been left off for long periods of time, the product may ‘go off’ before the period after opening has passed.
As scented products age, some of the natural essential oil scent may be lost. Pure essential oils just do not have the staying power of synthetic fragrance oils.
Over time, natural colors may also fade.

If you’re like me, and you find an old dusty product hiding in a drawer, makeup bag, or even a suitcase from your last trip, you can call us with the lot number and we can verify its age. Obviously, if it seems off in any way, toss it!

Please note: This PAO symbol is widely used in Europe to recommend the length of time a product remains usable after opening, for products that have a shelf-life of at least 30 months. Our products do NOT have a shelf-life of 30 months before opening.
