I get a lot of questions about our Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve shampoo bars and what makes them different…

These bars are a completely different approach to washing your hair. Instead of synthetic detergents, they’re made with real soap—created through saponification of nourishing plant oils and butters. They use ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, aloe, & soap nuts infused with hair-loving botanicals like herbs, clays, and essential oils that support a healthy scalp and naturally beautiful hair.

What makes them so special:
• A true soap formula - not just a solid version of liquid shampoo
• No synthetic fragrances or harsh detergents—just essential oils and botanicals
• Concentrated and long-lasting (one bar replaces multiple bottles)
• Low-waste and eco-friendly

Because they’re made with real soap, the pH is a bit more alkaline than your scalp. Some people love using a simple apple cider vinegar rinse to help bring everything back into balance.

There can be a short transition period, especially if you’ve used conventional products, but that’s just your hair letting go of buildup and adjusting.

And once it does… this is where the magic happens:
• Healthier, more balanced scalp
• Less frequent washing
• Hair that feels softer, lighter, and truly clean

Honestly, my own hair has never felt better. It has a natural shine and softness without needing a bunch of extra products—it just feels like healthy hair again.

There’s a reason this bar is a go-to for so many…

Tea Tree + Charcoal is your skin’s deep clean reset 🌿🖤

Activated charcoal gently draws out impurities, excess oil, and buildup from the day — while tea tree essential oil helps keep skin feeling clear, balanced, and refreshed.

Perfect for:
• Oily or acne-prone skin
• Post-workout showers
• Anyone craving that extra clean feeling

It’s simple, effective, and made with ingredients you can trust.

Just a really good bar that does what it’s meant to do.

Good morning ☀️ Let’s talk about one of those simple little things that makes a big difference…

Our sisal soap saver bags 🧼

If you’ve ever felt like your bar gets too small to use or a little slippery in the shower — this is your solution.

These natural fiber bags:
• Gently exfoliate while you cleanse
• Help your soap last longer
• Let you use every last little piece (no waste!)
• Create a richer, bubbly lather

Just slip your bar (or those leftover ends) inside, wet it, and enjoy a simple, effective upgrade to your daily routine.

It’s one of those small swaps that feels good and does good 🌿
