Featured Ingredients

Organic Marsh Mallow Root

Marsh Mallow, Althaea officinalis, is a member of the mallow family that grows in marshes, hence the name. The genus name Althea is from the Greek word "altho" and means, "to heal or cure." This root is an emollient and demulcent. Demulcent herbs have a high content of mucilage which are large carbohydrate (sugar) molecules. When this mucilage comes in contact with water, it swells and forms a smooth, slippery gel used to relieve skin conditions such as rosacea and eczema. For centuries herbalists have rubbed marsh mallow roots on insect bites, burns, and rashes. Marsh mallow's mucilage content helps soothe, moisturized, and protect dry, irritated, or inflamed skin and scalp. Years ago, children were given a piece of marsh mallow root to chew on when they were teething. Early candy marshmallows were made from marsh mallow root. The root was boiled with water and sugar to create sweet, spongy sticks. Back then people were actually getting health benefits from eating marshmallows since the mucilage helps strengthen the mucous membranes. I wonder how s'mores would taste using that early confection? Although they have kept the name, marshmallow treats roasted over campfires no longer contain any part of the plant. In hair care, marshmallow root soothes the scalp, often providing relief from scalp irritation. It also detangles, conditions, and provides a great natural moisturizer for dry hair. The natural mucilage in marshmallow root binds with hair proteins to make hair strands appear thicker which adds volume. Read More

Organic Burdock Root

Burdock Root, Arctium lappa, rich in fatty acids that stimulate blood flow and increase blood circulation, has been used for centuries for treating all forms of chronic skin problems. Burdock root is known for its anti-bacterial, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties, which is why it is a popular herbal remedy to help ease the symptoms of skin conditions such as mild eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, and dermatitis. The root is believed to have antibacterial properties making it an excellent natural acne treatment. Also good for treating boils, burdock root has been used to treat a wide variety of fungal infections like ringworm, athlete’s foot, and yeast infections. In hair care, burdock maintains and promotes a healthy scalp, encourages hair growth, improves hair strength adds body and shine. Read More

Organic Flaxseed

Flax Seed, Linum usitatissimum, comes from the flax plant which is grown for its seeds, its edible oil, its wood-finishing oil, and for its fibers that are used to make linen. The oil used in wood finishing is called Linseed Oil which is extracted using petroleum solvents and is not safe for human consumption. Flaxseeds have been cultivated since ancient times in Egypt and China, where they were used as food and medicine. Flax seed and its oil are often added to skincare products because they are bursting with lots of essential nutrients such as vitamins A, B, and E, are also one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids and are known for their high anti-inflammatory properties. Flax seeds help firm, tone, and tighten skin and reduce excess sebum on oily skin to prevent and treat acne. Finely crushed seeds make excellent exfoliators to help cleanse and remove impurities from the skin and minimize large pores. In hair care, flax seed belongs to a group of herbs called mucilage plants like marsh mallow. When mixed with hot water, flax seeds form a slippery, gooey gel that promotes healthy strands and provides "slip" to aid in detangling hair which can be especially helpful for those with thin tangly hair and those with tight, curly hair.

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!

Ida's Shampooing Technique for Long Hair

Men and women with short hair seldom have hair adjustment problems to natural shampoo bars. However, folks with long hair may have to change their shampoo technique when switching from commercial liquid shampoo or synthetic detergent shampoo bars to natural bars.

We have discovered that people with long hair often feel the need to use too much shampoo. Also, it is more difficult to rinse shampoo out of all the little nooks and crannies in long hair. As a result, there are pockets of soap residue left in the hair that make hair feel tacky.

I have found that many times the proper technique makes all the difference.

Natural Shampoo Bar Technique for Long Hair I have long, fine hair. Below is my technique for using a shampoo bar.

thoroughly wet my hair
tie my long hair into a loose ponytail
wet the natural shampoo bar and rub the bar across only the top of my head in strokes from front to back until I have covered the entire scalp area (Rubbing any shampoo vigorously in all directions causes lots of tangles!)
massage my entire scalp (only the scalp) in a combing motion to work the lather through my hair
I do not rub the bar or work the lather on the length of my hair
take out my ponytail and rinse allowing the shampoo to drip down the length of my hair (I have found that this rinsing is enough to clean the length of my hair)
rinse, rinse, rinse for at LEAST one minute as I rub my fingers through my hair to be sure that all of the shampoo is rinsed away
squeeze gently on the length to remove excess water and cover with a towel while I dry off
I do not rub the towel over my wet hair because it causes nasty tangles
use a wide toothed comb and gently comb from the bottom up

Dry and style your hair as usual!
