Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve has made soap in Solon, Ohio since 2002, and has occupied its own building there since 2014 — a small enough operation that the retail shop is inside the soap factory and customers turn up to look at the kettles.
The claim we can check is about the work, not the country: recipes developed, tested and crafted in their own facility, never outsourced, never handed off. For a category where “made in USA” usually means a contract filler somewhere blended a base someone else formulated, that is a meaningfully different sentence.
It sits at the second mark rather than the first for the reason every soap does. The bars are made here; the oils and butters they are made from are agricultural products of places that are not Ohio, and the company does not publish their origins. A line-by-line sourcing page would move this.
The record
Every product is made in the company's own facility rather than outsourced
“Every recipe is developed, tested, and crafted in our own facility—never outsourced, never handed off”
