Heritage & History
Chagrin Valley Soap and Salve was founded in 2002 in Solon, Ohio by Ida and Karl Allison, who began making soap at home after Ida developed a serious skin condition that did not respond to conventional treatments. What started as a personal necessity — find cleaner, gentler skincare or suffer — became a business when family and friends recognized the quality of the handmade products. The company named itself after the Chagrin River that runs through Solon, rooting its identity in northeast Ohio geography from the beginning.
The company earned USDA Organic Certification — one of the most rigorous standards applied to personal care products — and has maintained it for over a decade. The commitment extends to sourcing: raw materials including shea butter, coconut oil, and essential oils are purchased from suppliers who meet fair trade and sustainable farming standards. Chagrin Valley uses traditional cold-process soap making, which preserves the natural glycerin produced during saponification rather than extracting it as is common in commercial soap manufacturing.
Made in Solon, Ohio
Every product in the Chagrin Valley line is made by hand in Solon, Ohio. The cold-process bar soaps cure for four to six weeks after production — a timeline impossible with commercial automation but essential for developing the hard, long-lasting bars that define the product line. Varieties include honey oat, lavender, charcoal, unscented sensitive skin, and seasonal specialty soaps made with Ohio agricultural products.
The shampoo bar line applies the same cold-process methodology to hair care, creating concentrated bars that last significantly longer than bottled shampoo while eliminating plastic packaging. Hair and scalp oil treatments use organic plant oils — argan, jojoba, castor — without silicones or synthetic conditioning agents. The skin care range includes facial oils, body butters, and treatment salves for specific conditions. All production remains in Solon, Ohio, with a small team that makes every batch by hand under USDA Organic oversight.
