I had the opportunity to tour Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve factory last week. Tours are not frequently offered, I was able to get a tour with a group. I was genuinely impressed by the entire experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I could see how much care and attention to detail goes into every step of the production process. A lot of the production is impressively hand operated. The factory was pristine. I was struck by the precision and use of real herbs behind the scenes. It was clear that quality control was a top priority, and it was fascinating to learn about the rigorous testing products undergo to ensure they meet high standards. The tour itself was incredibly informative, and I gained a deeper understanding of the science and care behind the skincare products. I was impressed that the brand wanted to deliver fresh products to the customers. Overall, the experience left me more confident in the brand's commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation. This location has a retail store. The store is open to all. It is a small shelf in the lobby but it is full of various products for men, women, babies, and pets. Some products I have never seen before (like shower lotion bar and herbal detangler wash). There's everything from self-care to outdoor adventures. I purchased Cocoa Whip Hair Butter, Cocoa Butter Body Butter, Cocoa Shea Shower Lotion Bar, and Chocolate/Honey Soap. While I went for basic scents, there are so many scents available. So far I only used Cocoa Butter Body Butter, and love it. I can't wait to use shower lotion bar during a sauna visit. I can't wait to continue using their products, knowing the care that goes into making them. Parking is available onsite. You have to find the doorbell at this location in order to enter and shop at the store. read more

I used to like their soaps but they are too expensive for what they are and their use of the USPS for shipping means that my items took more than ten days to arrive. I also wasnt aware their location in Chagrin Falls (I guess it is their HQ) was not open to the public despite google saying it was. I drove 1800 miles from Texas to visit Chagrin and wanted to stop by this place. Would have been nice to know it wasnt open at all before driving over there. I now shop for soaps online at Herbaria or visit local handmade soap stores. Quality is just as good if not better and I dont have to wait an eternity for shipment. read more

I was recommended to try the Neem and Tea Tree Shampoo Bar since I have seborrheic dermatitis (oily). I placed an order and decided to get the shampoo bar, the mini Whipped Shea Vanilla Bean body butter, and the Apples and Spice soap. Shipping was alright but cost over $5 (within the USA). I tried all three products and noticed the next day, I was starting to break out. I didn't think much of it and the reaction just kept getting worse until my entire body (except for my back) was covered in pretty severe hives. I deduced it was a reaction to the body butter. Looking at the ingredients, I have never encountered babassu oil before. I contacted the company. I had made a post on their Facebook page saying what had happened and it was immediately deleted. I also posted on their website and it was also deleted. The company responded to me via email with the following... "Hi Mary, This is Sam, at Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve. Thanks for writing to us! We don't deal with nay customer service on our Facebook page. We usually just take down any questions for us from the page and then answer our customers via email. We simply dont have the time and ability to use FB for customer service. Hopefully you understand. As for your issue, it sounds like for sure you are having an allergic reaction. There are only 6 ingredients in the product. The most likely culprit is the Shea butter, as it is 100% pure Virgin Shea, as strong and pure as it can be. Shea is a naturally occurring form of latex, and many people find at some point that they can have a reaction to very pure Shea Butter. It is fairly common. Other ingredients that are not normal everyday ingredients would be Babassu Oil and Jojoba oil. Sunflower is an unlikely culprit and the Vanilla is not an added scent, we simply cook actual vanilla beans into the butters. My guess is the pure Shea. If you have used Organic Unrefined pure she before and know that you have no reaction, than I can tell you I am stumped. If you wanted to see, you could always get a trial size of our "Whipped Cocoa" and see if you have any reaction.... I hope that helps SOME. Thanks very much for your order and support for our work, Mary!" So, their solution was to basically shell out another $8.50 for a small body butter and then over $5 for shipping... I know I'm not allergic to shea (I use it in many products) and the same with Jojoba oil. Overall, I was incredibly disappointed with the customer service and company overall. This isn't how you treat customers. I threw out the body butter ($8.50 down the drain). The shampoo bar did nothing for my hair so I threw that out as well. The Apples and Spice soap smelled of spice and not of apples at all. I will never buy anything from this company again. I was extremely disappointed with everything I bought. My face broke out the worst of all and isn't as smooth as it used to be. I was hoping for a refund of some kind but I received squat all. Every other company I have ever dealt with allows refunds when a product doesn't work. Considering how severe my reaction was, I was hoping for more. The fact that the company also doesn't let negative reviews be posted anywhere on their website or Facebook also says something about them as a whole. read more

So let's get real for a moment. The world is soooo oversaturated with handmade body products, lines and designers. It's literally overwhelming. When I decided to take the leap and just try something, maybe I was a little biased to the company's name, having grown up on the east side suburbs of the namesake. But in a sea of mediocre skin care and beauty supply, Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve is the real deal...and they have the yummiest flavors EVER. I've always been lucky to have pretty good skin, aside from being super pale and having a sometimes uneven skin tone. My skin also doesn't react well to really strong things, because my skin is just average and doesn't need any harsh work. Because of that, its always been hard to find things that keep it consistent and healthy without irritating it. I love the citrus & sugar facial cleansing scrub and the chocolate & honey soap for this purpose alone. It moisturizes, exfoliates and doesn't smell ridiculous (no added scents!) or have weird chemicals. While everything smells delicious and is perfectly crafted, you're not putting anything weird on your body. New motto: if you can understand all the ingredients on the back, you win life. These lovely folks are opening up a new store soon in the 5th Street Arcades in Downtown Cleveland, and I'll literally be there with bells on at the opening! read more

I have used Chagrin for about 5 years now. I was interested in this because of their organic, natural ingredients. It took a lot of trial and error (and samples) to find the perfect shampoo bar for me. I finally found a couple that worked and ordered in bulk to save on shipping. They rarely have sales because it is a small family business. I have no problems with their services. They respond quickly when I found out that one of the soap bar was missing from my package. However, I have stopped using the shampoo bars because my friend kept complaining how waxy and sticky hair is when she was styling it. I don't style my hair, so I didn't really notice it until my friend said something (5 years of not knowing...). She was right because my hair seemed to be more stringy than usual. I switched to John Masters Organics shampoo now and no more waxiness (my friend was happy). One great thing about shampoo bar is that it is very easy to travel with, which is something that I will miss. I also bought some facial creams for my mom. She loves it because her skin is so dry. The oils are very hydrating for her. It is not good for oily and acne prone skin like mine though, so beware of that. Overall, I wish it worked out better for me because I wanted Chagrin to be my go-to for everything skin or hair related, since I like to support small business and use organic products. Unfortunately this isn't working for me. read more

My bf absolutely loves this company! We've tried so many soaps I can't even remember which are my favorite. I have the lip balms (coconut is amazing) and salves for any itches or cuts. I have an obsession with coconut so I also have the coconut hair balm, which smells so good and makes your hair shiny. Any product you need for your body is covered! I live in Southern California so I order online and have it shipped to my home. If you have sensitive skin or skin allergies, this place is worth checking out. read more

Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve - Soaps, salves, bug spray...just our current collection - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Solon, Ohio

I did an online purchase from this company and the moment I opened my package there was a bug in my box that resembled a roach. I was pretty grossed out about what I saw and hope theirs bug didn't lay any eggs in my package and hope no other bugs were hiding in the box and procreate in my home. I have used these product before but this will truly be my last time every purchasing from this company ever again. Did not appreciate what I say and what else came in my package. read more

Absolutely LOVE these products. My favorites are: Honey, Beer & Egg Shampoo Bar, Summer Rain Scent Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse, and the Nettle Shampoo Bar. They even have sample sized bars if you are unsure if you will like them. I have no complaints. read more

Hands down my favorite body care product line! The products are organic and natural- no ingredients that you can't pronounce. I also appreciate that they have vegan products. The line of products that has been the most beneficial to me is the Salve line. I have several tins lined up on my bed stand and use them daily. The Chickweed is Amazing for big bites. The Sea Buckthorn has been a life saver for me in helping to heal a surgical wound as well as other minor scrapes and scratches. Other favorites are the eye and face cream, the foot loofah bar, face scrubs, sage soap, bug spray and anything lavender/rosemary. I usually purchase online and pick up at their office, and service is always prompt. A+++ read more

I absolutely love their products!!!Natural,organic,and they work! The customer service is also amazing, they are fast, and nice.You won't regret ordering from Chagrin Valley. Update on June 12/2014.I have been using their products for a couple of months now, and I can honestly say that my skin, my lips feel amazing.I love their facial cream.And it's all natural!!!Getting ready to order more since I'm running out.I am so happy I found chagrin valley.Their products are simply the best!!:) read more

I was looking for a company who didn't use plastic bottles, so I tried Chagrin. Bought several different types of trial sized bars. Love the shampoo, I need very little to lather up and my hair is never oily anymore. One bar has lasted over a month. My son, who has severe eczema, tried the bar soap for sensitive skin and says it has really helped! read more

I love this company. Shipping is always super fast, and a lot of the time they include complementary samples in my orders. The first time I tried shampoo bars my hair just wouldn't acclimate to it so I emailed them with questions. They responded with plenty of advice and I found out my water was just too hard (I lived in an old house in Utah), but once I got a shower head with a water filter my hair cleaned up right away. Another thing I love is the pet shampoos. I have a lab so he's too big for the tub, and he hates hose showers. With the shampoo bars I can give him a bath when we go to the lake for a swim and I don't have to worry about harmful chemicals getting in the water and hurting the fish! read more

I've used 3 of their products so far; their Whipped Squalene Face and Eye Mousse, their Mint Mist Coconut Cream Deodorant (version for regular strength) and Mint Mist Clay Silk (for more sensitive skin as it's made without baking soda). I love all of them! I just ordered another deodorant for my boyfriend, a shampoo bar and I also purchased another whipped Squalene cream for my Mom. I'll write about each product separately! Whipped Squalene Face and Eye Mousse: This face cream is so soft and easily spreads onto your skin without having to use all that much, so even the small jar will last you quite a while. It absorbs quickly leaving your face feeling really soft and moisturized without any greasiness. Mint Mist Deodorant(regular strength coconut cream version): I have tried many organic and chemical free brands of deodorants and none of really worked very well for me, however, Chagrin Valley's Mint Mist regular strength coconut cream is really effective! The application might seem foreign (i.e. applying by putting some on your hand and then rubbing onto your underarms) but once you do it a couple of times its just as easy as using a stick. It is soft and goes on smooth and leaves no residue. The scent is just enough to keep me smelling great throughout the day yet isn't at all overpowering. It does a great job keeping me feeling fresh and doesn't require re-applications, however that would be more indivually based, I tend not to sweat tremendously so that might be different for someone else. Mint Mist Deodorant (Clay Silk for sensitive skin): This deodorant worked just as effectively for me as the regular strength. I don't have an allergy or sensitivity to baking soda so either one works great. However, if you do have an allergy or sensitivity and need the Clay Silk version of their deodorants then you can feel comfortable ordering the more sensitive strength as it works just as well! I'd also like to add that the customer service is beyond wonderful at Chagrin Valley. I've received every order I've placed with them on time and packaged perfectly. I also recently ordered another deodorant ( 1 Mint Mist Regular Strength) and by accident something was mixed up and I received a Clay Silk version of the deodorant as opposed to the regular strength that I had wanted. They immediately, without question, said to keep the Clay Silk and sent me not just one but two of the Mint Mist regular strength deodorants with an apology note attached. This is a great company with really great, health conscious products! The ingredients are exactly what I've been looking for in my search for chemical free living :) read more

I've been loving this company and their soaps since 2008. Great quality of products and terrific customer service. I have only purchased their shampoo bats and they are natural and do wonders for your hair. I truly appreciate the recommendations for different hair types and have not been led astray. If you are new to shampoo bars I'd encourage you to try the sample sizes before committing to a large bar! read more

I LOVE this company. I stopped using commercial shampoo and conditioner and was on the hunt for more natural options when I was referred to this company by someone in my no poo (no shampoo) Facebook group. I purchased a few samples of their shampoo bars (which were huge samples for the price!) and fell in love. I have ended up switching most of my body care, face care, and hair care to Chargin Valley. Their products are really amazing and I love supporting a small business. The best part is that their products are extremely affordable (especially compared to the beauty brands I was using before) and they last forever! Seriously, try this company! Pick anything and try it. You'll be hooked. read more

I've been using Chagrin Valley Soaps & Salves for a while now, and I absolutely LOVE this company, their products & their customer service!! Since they're local, I went to their Open House, and it only made me love them more! The people are Very friendly, knowledgeable & helpful. Everything is made in small batches, and with high quality natural/organic ingredients - they showed us the whole process for the majority of their items. The Neem & Tea Tree shampoo & soap has helped clear up acne on my face, and is great on my hair & scalp! It is important to follow directions they provide if you haven't used a shampoo bar before, because it works differently than conventional shampoos. It's made of all-natural ingredients, and without any of the many chemicals that are bad for your skin & body, and for the environment. I suspect one of the 2 negative reviews was from someone who doesn't have experience using natural & REAL body care products. I think their products smell great - CVSS's scents are all natural, derived from actual botanicals, and most are beneficial & have healing properties. True essential oils - and real shea, castile, do occasionally "smell bad" to people used to artificial scents. Also, over $5 for shipping (meaning under $6, likely) is pretty fair for heavy items like soap bars and body butter. I buy & sell on ebay & etsy - shipping is EXPENSIVE. And, I'd never expect a company to reimburse me for an allergic reaction to their product. All ingredients are clearly posted on each product page. Your allergic reaction is not the company's fault. A small, handmade product company like this would go under if they did that. CVSS is a wonderful company that hand-makes wonderful products that help many people with skin problems & issues. read more

I purchased my dry shampoo from this company few months ago and could not be happier. It's organic & smells amazing. I love the ingredients that it is made out of. I recommend trying it to all. I do not regret paying the price for a 4.5oz bottle. What my scalp "ingests" is way more important than spending $5 on a toxic dry shampoo. read more

I love Chagrin Valley Soap and Salve! They have made my journey toward all natural body products so easy and delightful. I love their soaps and their body oils, but I have to give a shout out especially to their shampoo bars - after trying many different natural shampoos, these bars are by far so much better than anything I tried making myself, and, most notably, far superior to the store-bought shampoo I'd used my entire life! My hair is sleek, shiny, soft, silky.... I can't get over it. I also really like their Lemongrass Clay Silk deodorant - trying natural deodorant was a big leap for me but I have been so impressed with how well it works. Thank you Chagrin Valley! read more

Even if you aren't trying to be "all natural" this is the best shampoo product I have ever used! My hair has been every color under the sun and I've had to use a lot of different products over the years. With the shampoo bars you'll never buy commercial products again. Swear, never had softer or more healthy feeling and looking hair. read more

I love Chagrin Valley soaps! I have used their shampoo bars for over two years now and love them... I tried many different shampoo bars before I found the ones my hair type (long brown strait hair) agrees with. I alternate Cafe Moreno, Ayurvedic Herb, Mud & Clay and sometimes Neem & Tea Tree). They actually give my heavy hair body! They're fantastic smelling, rich lathering, healthy and safe for you and actually work! What more could you ask for? I have tried several of their other products as well (coconut silk deodorant, oils, face creams, body soaps) and love them all... I especially like the Rhassoul yogurt complexion soap bar. My husband loves their summer rain coconut cream deodorant. I also order scrap sacks and love them for travel (no messing with 2 oz liquids at the airport). They always ship fast and I have never had any issues ordering from them and sometimes they even include free samples. I love them so much I even tried to make a point of stopping by their store when I was driving through Ohio last winter on my way to Syracuse, but didn't have the extra time. I think they're fantastic company that I am proud to support. I really don't know what I would do if they stopped making their wonderful products. read more

The bar shampoo dried out my scalp, stripped my hair, and ruined a salon shine treatment. I am now slathering conditioner like no other trying to repair the damage this awful product caused. Oh and complain to customer service and you hear nothing. read more

Best thing I ever did for my arm pits! Natural and effective!

The best soaps! They always smell so good and my hair has never grown as fast or looked better now that I use their shampoo bars. Great customer service too! I entered my address wrong and they called me the hour that my order was placed to correct the issue. Chagrin Valley is my favorite soap company. read more

I have incredibly sensitive skin (allergies, eczema, you name it) and these products are a LIFE SAVER. I discovered their Goat Milk & Oatmeal soap through an online search for natural eczema products, and the love affair continued from that point on. I use that soap (face and body) on a daily basis, as well as their shampoo bars. I've tried the facial moisturizers, but I think I'm allergic to shea! However, everything else I've used is amazing. read more

I have been using their products for 10 years: love them all. I started with the shampoo bars. The initial conversion was a bit rough, my hair felt gummy. I followed Ida's instructions for apple cider vinegar rinses, and have never looked back. My thick, wavy, easily tangled and color treated hair went from a constant round of shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, etc. to just using Chagrin Valley shampoo bars. No conditioner, no more greasy buildup from silicone, just healthy manageable hair. I moved on to the soaps, and use no other brand. Body butter, powder, deodorant and the wonderful body oils and my bathroom is full of Chagrin Valley. Products are great (organic, too!), customer service could not be better, and so much to choose from. And everything smells fabulous. It's a treat to use their products every day. Try them. You will not regret it. read more

This is the best moisturizing products I have ever tried. I even use them to shave with because the razor just glides over the soap suds. There are tons of "handmade" bath & body products out there. It seems like I have tried (and failed) with them all. Now that I found Chagrin Valley I love these truly handcrafted products & I am not buying from anyone else ever! read more

A huge thank you to Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve for making my Christmas shopping as easy as can be. After having initially been introduced to CVSS through a Yelp event, I came home with my goodies to test them out and see how they compared to other body products I have. I absolutely loved what I tried (the bar soap, whipped shea butter and pumpkin scrub) and so I decided to introduce my family to the company as well by purchasing my Christmas gifts here. While I'll be honest, I had been to their downtown shop to buy things before and didn't like shopping there as I found it really small and awkward to browse, I did have a positive experience ordering on their website. They were offering a small discount for Cyber Monday so I took advantage and purchased a large variety of gift boxes for my family. While there was a shipping charge, you do have the option of picking up the products at their warehouse in Solon, which I decided to do. When I picked everything up, it was packed in a large box and was really well packed. The gift boxes looked beautiful and were wrapped with a white and green ribbon. My family was really happy with the gifts and I loved how easy it was to pick up the gifts and have them ready to go. I will most definitely be continuing to use CVSS for gift ideas as well as for my own personal use. read more

One of my favorite companies! I started using their shampoo bars about a year ago as I was transitioning to a zero-waste lifestyle. Everything is packaged in paper, glass, or metal, and the packaging is re-usable. I love almost everything I have tried! I had a good result with conventional shampoo, but I love these shampoo bars even more. I have Caucasian, long, wavy hair and my favorite bars are rosemary and lavender, neem and tea tree oil, butter bar, and coconut milk. I also use a vinegar rinse and I started brushing twice a day with a wood-bristled hairbrush to move oil to the ends of my hair and now I don't even need conditioner. My hair's natural texture has also improved in the past few months since I stopped using conventional shampoo. I also love the Dead Sea black clay complexion soap, which has improved my skin, and the whipped squalane eye cream and argan pumpkin facial oil. I used to have minor break-outs from time to time, but I rarely get them now. Ida's philosophy is really inspirational and I love supporting a small, natural company! I will never buy anything else. read more

I haven't been to their physical location, but I've been ordering their products online for years. I have sensitive skin, and switching to their soaps has eliminated the itchy rashes I would get on my shins. I'm also addicted to their vanilla body oil. It's sensitive enough to use on my face, and it smells amazing... normally when you have sensitive skin you just can't use anything that smells nice. I've tried their shampoo bars, deodorant, dry shampoo, body butter, and face wash. I liked them all, but the soaps and body oil are my go-to products that I reorder regularly. Aside from their products, the website is easy to use and products always ship in a timely manner, and are well packaged. They make sure to notify you prior to purchase if you're ordering something that might be affected by very hot or very cold weather. I don't think I've ever had to contact them for customer service, my orders always just go right from the start. read more

This company is my FAVORITE. I got on the natural shampoo train a while back and experimented with everything from making my own shampoo to ayurvedic powder shampoo to shampoo bars. When I found Chagrin I stopped looking because it is by far the best. My hair looks better than it did when I was using fancy salon shampoos, it's affordable, easy, eco-friendly, and fantastic for travel. I have fine, oily hair and my boyfriend has coarse, kinky hair, and the bar shampoos work for both of our hair types. A godsend!! read more

I haven't been to the Solon location but using their website I have purchased shampoo bars, shea whipped body cream and the piece de resistance, their lotion bars for hands. I love, love love them. I wash my hands frequently as part of my job and my hands pay for it. Also with cold weather my hands get so dry and almost crack. The lotion bars are so convenient. I never travel on planes without them. I highly recommend the lotion bars. You need more than one. My favorite so far is the hemp mango mint one but the triple butter is awesome too. The shampoo bars were not great for me (I tried different ones too) but my hair is baby fine and finding any shampoo and conditioner that works for me well is a real challenge. The bars built up on my hair but I bet that non super baby fine haired girls and guys would like them!! read more

The absolute BEST natural products!!! I have always been 100% satisfied with everything I have tried! Each time I try out a new product, I immediately fall in love. Their soaps are wonderful; their bug repellant smells great, gives my skin a beautiful glow, AND it genuinely works; their whipped shea is flat out perfection!!! I could go on forever. I am so thankful that I am able to trust this company!!!!! I hope they will continue to make personal care products forever because personally, I don't know what I'd do without them! read more

This is the only kind of shampoo and soap I will buy for my special needs son. I've never had any issues. My son has pretty severe allergies, and with all the junk that's in other products, I know I can trust this company. I will continue to buy more, the pumpkin spice smells AMAZING!! read more

I love this company. I have been ordering from them for years now, especially for my hair products. I honestly think their products have gotten better over the years. I recommend them to everyone I know. I really like their shampoo bars. I've tried everything for my hair and their bars work the best. I have recently tried their deodorant and I won't buy the regular anti-perspirants that I used to buy anymore. Your health is your wealth and I respect this company and the products they use. read more

This company is the best for natural skin, body, and hair care products. I have extremely sensitive skin, but their products are all made with thought and care into the ingredients, and I have not had any issues. Everything smells delightful and works better than all the chemical-laden things you can buy at the store. In addition, my stinky and sweaty husband really loves their soaps also, as they get him cleaner without clogging his pores. He likes their shave soap for his face. We also like the dog shampoo bars - natural and great smelling so that I don't have to worry about the chemicals on my pets either. Their location is beautiful and the staff were incredibly sweet when they gave us a tour. The family behind this business actually cares about the health of their customers, and that is what makes this a really great company. read more

Not one to review soap, or even soap stores, but this one was well worth it. I had a few minutes to kill because I had a meeting in an hour in Solon. After looking at a lot of the shops around my meeting place, I found this one. I ended up purchasing the shampoo bar and the apples and spice soap. Great fragrance and the scent really sticks around. As a guy, it's kind of unusual that I would stop and purchase soap, but it was a good deal, and if I'm in the area I'll stop back read more

I tried their Beard Oil after growing my beard and mustache out a little bit and having issues with flakes. Basically, their marketing makes it sound like the perfect solution with zero mention of potential negatives. Well, after using it, my problem with flaking skin became worse. More flakes, redness and irritation of the skin, and a burning and itching sensation that has lasted for 5 days now. If marketing was an honest business, it would say: Try this stuff, it might make your face better or it might make it worse and for $15.00 you can find out for yourself! read more

I've been using their soap and shampoo bars for 4 years now, and I even bought a ton to bring over to France when I moved here. Definitely like the Shea Rose Clay bar, the Summer Sunshine bar, the Neem Tea Tree Oil bar, and Carrot, Goat Milk, and Honey bar. I also like that they sometimes add samples into the deliveries, it's fun and I get to try little bits of other soaps. read more

Having dry and damaged hair and skin I have found that Chagrin products work well. I use the shampoo bars, butter cream face wash and sqauline face and eye mousse. Great! read more
