Creamy Goodness
"The texture of this lip balm is so nice. Creamy yet melts into luscious oil on your lips. It is so buttery! One of my faves!"
A creamy organic vegan balm rich in avocado oil and shea butter that melts into lips to soften dryness and help seal in lasting moisture, scented with calming lavender and softly floral ylang ylang.
Calm, Creamy Care for Dry Lips
This rich, vegan lip balm glides on with a smooth, creamy texture that melts effortlessly into the lips, delivering soft, comforting moisture without feeling heavy or waxy. Unrefined shea butter forms the rich, velvety base, helping ease dryness and support long-lasting hydration. Avocado oil adds a nourishing depth that conditions the lips and enhances overall softness, while babassu oil brings a light, silky slip that improves glide and absorbs beautifully.
A gentle blend of lavender and ylang ylang essential oils gives the balm its naturally calming aroma — soft, floral, and subtly warm without overpowering the senses. As the balm settles in, it leaves the lips feeling cushioned, supple, and comfortably protected, with a quiet botanical scent that lingers just enough to feel soothing.
Ideal for lips that feel dehydrated or weather-worn, this vegan formula offers a clean, plant-based approach to daily lip care, delivering a smooth, restorative finish that feels both grounding and indulgent.
A soft, calming floral scent with notes of fresh lavender and warm ylang ylang, creating a gentle, naturally aromatic flavor on the lips. No artificial flavors or fragrances.

Packaged in a portable, infinitely recyclable metal tin — gentle on lips and better for the planet.

"I love the avocado in this. The lip balm feels good and it's a great consistency. I just can't use lavender on my lips. For some reason it irritates them. Not like a horrible allergic reaction, just a sort of mild stinging. It's too bad really because this is great lip balm. I would love to see it without the lavender."
— Robyn B. (3/5)
"Have tried both Creamy Shea and Honey Butter and love each for different reasons, but if I had to choose only one lip balm (on the planet), it would be Avocado Cream. Not too heavy, not too light. Just the right balance for both day and night use. Fabulous as a base for lip gloss (rather have my AC balm against my lips than just bare gloss!), and ooooh that pleasing barely-there scent! And now in a larger size...more heaven."
— RK W. (5/5)
"I love this lip balm a lot. I have a severe coconut allergy and it’s so hard to find chapstick/lip balm without coconut oil in it. But this moisturizes and keeps my lips soft without the allergic reaction."
— Megan M. (5/5)

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?
All of our products are made with simple, natural, and organic ingredients. They are never tested on animals (except our human volunteers). We are certified Cruelty-Free by Leaping Bunny!
However, not all of our products are vegan because some are made with goat milk, yogurt, honey, eggs, or beeswax.
Our soaps and body care products contain no animal fats; we use a vegan base of natural plant oils and butters.
At Chagrin Valley Soap, we provide a full list of ingredients for each of our products. In this way, you can make an informed choice about a product that is right for your lifestyle.
Look for the symbol (shown on the right) on our packaging and on the product pages of our website to indicate vegan products.

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."

Trying to choose the right natural soaps or skincare products can be a bit overwhelming especially when you have allergies and/or skin sensitivities.
Since we proudly list every ingredient in all of our products, reading the ingredient list will help to eliminate ingredients that may cause you problems.
We always recommend doing a patch test before using any new products especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
We receive so many emails asking for help with allergies, we created categories in our “Help Me Choose” section to provide information for those with allergies or sensitivities to nuts, coconut, shea butter and gluten.

If you are allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients in our products, they may cause skin irritation. Even natural ingredients may cause sensitivities.
People with severe allergies--please note: If you have severe anaphylactic-type reactions to ANY of the ingredients in ANY of our products, please do not buy our products. We have dedicated soap rooms and product rooms that are kept meticulously clean, but we cannot guarantee against possible cross-contamination of individual ingredients.
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.

Why We Use Only Real Plant Essential Oils?
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.
The skin on your lips is extra sensitive and needs a natural lip balm made with ingredients that moisturize, allow your skin to breathe, and penetrate the skin—not simply coat the skin’s surface.
