| - 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!
