A gentle herbal hair rinse made with organic botanicals traditionally used to ease flakiness and bring comfort to an irritated, itchy scalp.
This gentle herbal hair rinse is crafted with a blend of organic roots, leaves, and flowers traditionally used to soothe a flaky, easily irritated scalp.
When brewed as a tea and used as a rinse, these botanicals gently cleanse, soothe, and help loosen dry flakes—without stripping the scalp or disrupting its natural balance. A simple addition to your routine when your scalp needs a little extra care.
This rinse is not a treatment—it’s a gentle, supportive way to care for a scalp that feels out of balance.
Used regularly, it can help maintain a comfortable, refreshed scalp environment.
Calm scalp. Fewer flakes. Naturally refreshed.
One bag contains about 1 cup of tea — enough for 4 to 8 rinses. A reusable cotton muslin bag is included.
When your infusion is complete, toss the contents of the tea bag into the garden or compost. Rinse the bag and allow it to dry.
Massage gently into the scalp and hair, leave on for a few minutes, then rinse lightly or leave in, depending on your preference.
Because every hair type is different, you may need to experiment with strength and frequency to find what works best for you.

"Well, I just tried it this morning. I accidentally left it overnight. Didn’t seem to do much of a harm. I noticed that it’s tended to give my hair body. That was an unexpected result and I’m hoping that a dry flaky scalp will benefit also."

"The tea smells amazing - refreshing while earthy. I really appreciate a direct approach to helping hair conditions with the exact ingredients needed in their entirety! My customer service has been truly amazing, Christina was kind, understanding and helpful to any questions I had. An amazing first impression to Chagrin Valley :) Thank you!"

"I am new user and started using my first shampoo bar "Ayurvedic Herb". After a few washes, I tried the Dandruff tea blend and prepared it by following the instructions strictly making sure I did not make any mistakes. I used the concoction tea to rinse off after my shampoo, but unfortunately it made my hair v frizzy, dry and stripped the luster and softness from the Shampoo bar. After 1 day, I had to shampoo again to make it better. The Shampoo bar is excellent from Day 1 of use, no conditioner needed and to my surprise it cleanses v well, but not the tea. The Detangler blend was out of stock at the time of my order so I thought to order Dandruff Blend, which did not suit my hair. I have thick, dry and v frizzy hair and I might need something else, so far Shampoo bar helped me a lot in managing my wild hair. This tea may work for those who have v greasy scalp/hair. I am wondering if there's a way to utilize the leftover bag to avoid wastage. The tea itself has a subtle Chamomile scent and goes away post rinsing."

"I think the product is good, just not what I needed. My scalp often feels very sore, but not from dandruff. I thought I would try it anyway. It did seem soothing, but not any better than washing usually does. I will also say I tried letting it sit without rinsing it out and it did make my hair a bit more stiff than normal so I would recommend rinsing. Again, I think the product works well for the intended purpose just make sure you read and get what you actually need."

"This was very soothing and began to help me with my terrible dandruff problem right away! I’m so glad I found this tea rinse right when I needed it! I let it soak into my scalp and hair over night which helped so much! And I got a new hair brush and shampoo afterwards. I only used this tea one time and haven’t had very much dandruff since."

"I already love using Chagrin Valley's shampoo bars, but using this herbal rinse for the first time made a noticeable difference. My hair was softer, had less buildup at the roots, and appeared cleaner."
— Smithsd17 (5/5)
"I have dry scalp so I tried an apple cider vinegar rinse. It made my scalp oily. If that’s you this tea blend is the perfect solution. It works if you rinse and wash out, rinse and leave on or my current method: spritzing my scalp every day until the dryness is gone. My hair feels soft too."
— Tori W. (5/5)
"The products came very quickly and I like the muslim bags that came with it as well. I have a very itchy scalp and after multiple different products I was getting at my wits end. After doing a lot of research I decided to try more natural approach to fix the issue. I saw the ingredients are known to treat scalp problems so I decided to give it a try. Now I have to warn you that it does make you hair very dry so follow up with a conditioner and deep conditioner to put the moisture back in its the reason why I'm deducting a star but overall I'm very happy with the product so far. The itching is gone and I'm going to use it for a few more weeks but this is the first time that my scalp has been calm in weeks."

"Hair felt less irritated and clean. I will buy again and I love Muslim bags as well."

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.
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.
Why Did We Become a Certified Organic Company?
What Do All of the Organic Labels Mean?
Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve has been Leaping Bunny Certified since 2013.
The Leaping Bunny Program was developed in 1996, by The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC), to identify and support companies that are doing their part to help eliminate the unnecessary use and mistreatment of animals to test cosmetic products and ingredients. The CCIC is made up of eight animal protection groups including the Humane Society of the U.S., as well as groups from Canada and Europe.
At Chagrin Valley we do not test our finished products on animals (other than human volunteers). But what about the raw materials, the ingredients we use?
Many products display labels claiming that their finished product is ‘not tested on animals’ but this does not guarantee that the product ingredients are actually free from animal testing.
The CCIC Standard is a pledge that a company makes to remove animal testing from all stages of product development. Our pledge to buy ingredients that are cruelty-free is integrated into the purchase agreement for all of our suppliers.
Personal care products displaying the “real” Leaping Bunny logo are certified ‘cruelty-free' using the internationally recognized Humane Cosmetics Standards. These rigorous standards require that no animal testing is performed or authorized for finished products or any of the ingredients in any stage of product development by the company, its laboratories or its suppliers after a fixed cut-off date. All Leaping Bunny companies are subject to independent audits and pledge commitments that are renewed on an annual basis.
This annual renewal is a key requirement that sets the Leaping Bunny Program apart from other cruelty-free certification programs. Companies that manufacture products, as well as their ingredient suppliers, must annually recommit to upholding their promise to not conduct animal testing on any finished products, ingredients, or formulations.
Why is this annual commitment renewal important? "Because product formulations change, suppliers come and go, and manufacturers develop innovative lines to meet consumer needs. But we know that compassionate consumers need to be confident that no animal testing is involved in the products they use."

Shampoo bars are an all natural conditioning shampoo in a solid bar form. Yes, this is real shampoo in a solid bar. Shampoo bars are not a new idea.
They were commonly used before liquid detergent shampoos and conditions were invented in the 1940s.
Although the process for making a shampoo bar is the same as making soap, our shampoo bar "recipes" are specially formulated with natural plant oils, butters, botanicals and essential oils that nourish your hair and scalp.
Our shampoo bars contain no artificial fragrance, color, preservatives, detergents, alcohol, urea, formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulfate, DEA, propylene glycol - or any of the other synthetic hair care additives.
Each of our shampoo bar selections contains a different blend of natural plant oils, essential oils, and herb infused oils. No two recipes are the same.
