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

How To Use

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.

As a Body 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.

FunTips:

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 and refreshing fragrance as you slip into your bed. For extra freshness, dust your sheets in the morning before making 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

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 Palmarosa Essential Oil

Palmarosa essential oil, Cymbopogon martini, also known as Indian Geranium Oil, is steam distilled from a tall, wild grass native to India. Although palmarosa is not part of the rose family (it is actually a part of the lemongrass family), it contains a high percentage of geraniol, which is one of the major aromatic constituents in true Rose essential oil. It has a soft floral, rose, and geranium-like scent with sweet honey and citrus undertones. Palmarosa, which regulates skin moisture and balances oil production, is good for both dry and oily complexions. It moisturizes, hydrates, and helps dull, mature skin to help improve the appearance of the skin. The antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating qualities may help ease skin irritations, including acne, dermatitis, dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis. In hair care, palmarosa helps regulate sebum production. Aromatherapy Properties: The soft, sweet, bright, rosy herbaceous scent has both calming and uplifting effects. It is refreshing, soothing, stimulating, and uplifting. The scent helps balance emotions, calms and settles the mood, eases stress and anxiety, and helps clear and comfort the mind to promote a good night's sleep. Pregnancy and 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.

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.

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.

What Do The Different Organic Symbols Mean?

We use two different organic symbols on our website.

Each symbol has a unique definition!

Organic Labels

The "certified organic" labeling has been developed by the USDA and refers to organic claims and labeling on food and personal care products in the United States. The USDA has very strict guidelines for the percentage of organic ingredients necessary to receive organic certification. Other countries have their own certification procedures, requirements, and standards. Labeling criteria and allowable ingredients differ from those in the US.

The USDA Organic Logo Label can be used on products that meet the standards of the first two tiers of the organic labeling system in which 95 - 100% of the ingredients are certified organic.

Most of our non-soap products fall into this category and display the USDA logo!

OEFFA is a USDA accredited organic certification agency The Certified Organic by OEFFA label is used in our company for two reasons . . .

Soaps and Shampoos: These products contain at least 8% of the sodium hydroxide due to the process of soapmaking. Our "organic" soap is about 87% to 92% organic, but the USDA standard states that a product must be made of 95-100% organic ingredients in order to bear the USDA Certified Organic seal shown above. We are also not allowed to use the words "organic soap" on the label.

Wildharvested Ingredients: When using any agricultural ingredient (any ingredient that has a biological origin) that is not certified organic the same labeling rules we use for soap apply.

The USDA rules for proper labeling state that the products may display the certifying agent's logo but not the USDA organic logo. Our USDA certifying agency is OEFFA (The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association). Their logo is displayed on our "organic" soaps and shampoos.

Why do some soap companies use the word "organic" on their labels--even though it is against the rules? Click Here to Read More about Rules for Organic Labeling of Soap!

Unofficial Labels

We sometimes use an unofficial symbol for products made with "natural" ingredients that do not meet the criteria for either label above. You may see this type of symbol on products, like the Dead Sea Black Clay, Bamboo Charcoal, and Loofah Pumice Foot Soaps and our Mud & Clay and Rosemary Mint Charcoal Shampoo Bars.

Organic certification is based on organic farming and agriculture standards. As a result, the list of allowable non-agricultural ingredients (like clay, salt, mud etc) is based on raw materials used in agriculture or food production. Unfortunately, ingredients like some Clays, Pumice, Dead Sea Mud and Bamboo Charcoal are not used in farming or food production and thus do not appear on the list.

Although it may seem long, this is really a very brief description. For more detailed information please read, "What Do All Of The Organic Labels Mean?"
