Founded in 2001 in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, by former middle school science teacher Ida Friedman Kasdan, Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve began as a kitchen experiment to soothe her husband’s eczema. Today, the family-owned brand remains rooted in its original ethos of simplicity, transparency, and respect for the planet. Chagrin Valley is known for its extensive line of USDA Certified Organic, cruelty-free, and ethically traded skincare and haircare. The core product lines—ranging from rich, cold-process shampoo bars and botanical facial oils to whipped squalane creams and healing salves—are crafted in small batches to ensure freshness and efficacy without the use of synthetic additives or preservatives.
