Our ingredient standard
Our ingredient standard begins with the belief that to see and understand the ingredients in each natural product, in each natural shampoo bar and soap, to know what they will deliver to your hair, face & body is key and brings peace & confidence. It continues with the fact that you won’t find man-made colors, preservatives, detergents or additives in our artisan, hand-crafted soap. Our cold-processed, gourmet soaps are biodegradable, rich in natural glycerin and good for you and safe for the environment.
Many of our products are naturally scented with therapeutic grade essential oils such as lavender, tea tree, ylang ylang, geranium, patchouli, tangerine and rosemary that have added health benefits as well. We color our soaps naturally with organic herbs and spices, vegetable juices and clays, and we aim to use at least 80% or more certified organic ingredients in our products. Our ingredient standard stays consistent as we continue to strive to find the highest quality ingredients when certified organic is not possible. Find out more about natural & organic ingredients on our Organic Soap page.
A few of our products contain phthalate-free fragrance oil or a natural plant-based fragrance, and are being discontinued. Find out more on our Essential Oil Blends page.
Variety
We offer a wide range of deliciously scented, visually pleasing and amazingly nourishing selections. Every single Apple Valley Natural Soap recipe is completely different and carefully formulated with a variety of luxurious ingredients like buttermilk, coconut milk, goat milk, rhassoul clay, yogurt, aloe vera, oatmeal and many more, to offer a variety of unique qualities for all types of skin needs. If you are looking for products which are specifically Vegan or Gluten Free, we have plenty to choose from — find out more on our Vegan & Gluten-Free Information page.
Longer cure time
Our cold-process soap is cured for a minimum of 6–8 weeks before time of sale, which allows most of the moisture in the bar to evaporate, giving you a hard, mild, long-lasting bar of natural soap.
