Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve Ayurvedic Organic Shampoo & Body Wash Soap Bar
This bar is crafted with a rich oil infusion of Ayurvedic herbs — including shikakai, bhringraj, amla, neem, tulsi, and more — and is designed as a dual-use shampoo for hair and body. It’s sulfate-free, silicone-free, paraben-free, vegan, and comes in plastic-free packaging.
Ingredients (key ones):
Organic Coconut Oil • Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil • Organic Avocado Oil • Organic Jojoba Oil • Organic Soapnuts (Aritha) • Organic Bhringraj • Organic Yashtimadhu (Licorice Root) • Organic Shikakai • Organic Amla • Organic Hibiscus • Organic Tulsi (Holy Basil) • Organic Neem • Organic Fenugreek • Organic Mango Butter • Organic Babassu Oil • Organic Castor Bean Oil • Organic Neem Oil • Organic Coconut Milk • Essential Oils: Cypress, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Lemon, Basil, Rosemary • Organic Rosemary Oil Extract • Sodium Hydroxide *(*used in saponification; no residual)
What I like:
Infused with several Ayurvedic herbs historically used for hair and scalp care (shikakai, neem, amla, etc.)
Multi-use bar (hair + body) which reduces packaging and simplifies your routine
Free from synthetic detergents, silicones, parabens, and uses certified organic ingredients (at least 70% certified organic)
Vegan, cruelty-free, and packaged in plastic-free/recyclable materials
Things to keep in mind:
It contains multiple essential oils (cypress, juniper berry, lavender, lemon, basil, rosemary), which may be sensitizing — if you have very sensitive skin/scalp or are avoiding fragrance/essential oils, you may want to patch test
As a shampoo bar, the feel and rinse experience will differ from conventional liquid shampoos — it might take some adjustment, especially if your hair is thicker, very curly, or heavily treated.
Bars may not lather or rinse as well as liquid formulas, and thorough rinsing is essential for best results — the brand notes this in its usage instructions.
