Product Overview

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.

The Herbs Behind the Blend

Burdock Root has long been used to help calm dry, uncomfortable scalp conditions while supporting softer, more manageable hair.
Chamomile is a gentle, soothing herb that helps ease the feeling of irritation and dryness.
Green Tea, known for its clarifying qualities, helps calm and refresh the scalp and support a more balanced feel.
Nettle is traditionally used to help clarify and refresh the scalp, especially when excess oil or buildup is present.
Peppermint has astringent properties and offers a cooling, refreshing sensation that can help the scalp feel invigorated.
Rosemary, a classic hair herb, helps support a healthy-feeling scalp while adding shine and luster to the hair.
Thyme helps gently cleanse and refresh the scalp.
Lavender adds a calming element, both for the scalp and the overall experience.

What You’ll Notice

Scalp feels calmer and more comfortable
Dry flakes appear less noticeable
Hair feels lighter, softer, and refreshed
A gentle, herbal rinse that refreshes and leaves the scalp feeling comfortable—not tight or dry.

A Simple, Natural Approach

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.

How To Use

Basic Herbal Tea Hair Rinse Recipe

Prepare the Tea

Boil 2 cups of water
Place 3 to 4 tablespoons of hair tea into a muslin bag or cheesecloth and secure tightly
Turn off the heat and allow the herbs to steep for at least 30 minutes to an hour
Allow the tea to cool
Give the bag a final squeeze to capture all of the botanical essence
If bits of herbs escaped the bag, strain the tea
Pour the cooled tea into a clean spray bottle, plastic squeeze bottle, or another container

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.

How To Use

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Are Your Products and Ingredients Cruelty Free?

All of Chagrin Valley's natural soap, shampoo bars, and personal care products are certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny.

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."

At Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve . . .

we do NOT test our products on animals
we do NOT use ingredients tested on animals
we do NOT sell into markets that require animal testing

The Leaping Bunny Program provides
the best assurance to consumers
that they are making compassionate shopping choices
by purchasing Cruelty-Free skin care!

What Is A Natural Shampoo Bar?

Shampoo Bars Are One Of Our Favorite Discoveries!

The wholesome goodness of our handcrafted soap is available for your hair.

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.
