Shopping CartWhy do we do what we do?
At Valley Green Naturals, our goal is simple: we make products that are effective, body-safe, eco-friendly, and affordable.
And we believe that educating consumers about product ingredients and safety is essential to healthier living. We also believe that the days of “real customer service” have fallen by the wayside. Customer satisfaction in every aspect of our business is very important to us. From the creation of the product, to the information and marketing we provide; the resulting sale to you, our customer, and your ultimate use of the product, we want you to be 110% pleased. If you are not, we want to hear about it, and we will work to make things right.
So, why personal care products? When we started off hand-making soap in the kitchen of our farm house, we began studying chemical ingredients in soaps, lotions, shampoos, toothpaste, laundry detergent, mouthwash… basically every item we put on, or in, our bodies each day. What we learned was troubling, to say the least. We have come to believe that many of the allergies, illnesses and increased cancer diagnoses in our population are directly related to the bombardment of chemicals we encounter each and every day — in nearly everything that we consume and use in our daily lives. And did you know that the FDA does not require testing of many product ingredients until, and unless, a widespread problem occurs? We have made it our job to carefully research every single ingredient used in each one of our products, checking its documented body-safety ratings, uses, and results of any studies conducted. We regularly access the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Database, which provides hazard ratings and information on thousands of ingredients found in personal care products, and we encourage our customers to do the same.
Smaller-Scale Production = Higher-Quality Products
We firmly believe that smaller-scale production ensures excellent product quality and freshness. We blend every bottled product in small batches, and we hand-pour soaps not more than four pounds at a time. This ensures complete control and accuracy of the ingredients, heating processes, and packaging. The entire production, from blending and bottling, to labeling and shipping, takes place entirely on-site at Valley Green. Additionally, we deal with only a few wholesale suppliers for our oils, fragrances, packaging and other supplies to ensure consistency of quality and products with only the finest ingredients.
Truth in Labeling
We will never abuse the terms, “organic” or “natural.” Our customers know that although we use many certified organic ingredients in our products, we will never label any ingredient or finished product as “certified organic” unless it has been approved by the USDA. At Valley Green Naturals, we carefully research the safety of every ingredient we use. In our products, you will never find a mix of organic ingredients accompanied by hazardous chemicals. We want our customers to know that they may buy from Valley Green Naturals with confidence. If an ingredient is in our products, you may be certain that it’s on our label.
