    Description

    Meet the Helping Hands Body Balm, a rich, ultra-moisturizing formula designed to care for hands and any area needing concentrated hydration. This nourishing blend of plant oils, butters, and beeswax creates a smooth, conditioning balm that brings comfort to dry, overworked skin.

    Inspired by how much our hands do each day, this balm delivers the daily TLC your skin deserves. Whether from frequent washing, constant movement, or environmental stress, Helping Hands helps keep your skin feeling soft, smooth, and well cared for.

    Formulated with deeply moisturizing botanicals, this balm melts into the skin and provides long-lasting nourishment without feeling greasy.

    Unrefined Shea Butter is a rich emollient that softens dry patches and supports a smooth, velvety skin feel.
    Virgin Coconut Oil adds lightweight moisture and helps maintain softness with its naturally conditioning fatty acids.
    Sunflower Seed Oil offers gentle hydration and helps the skin retain moisture, making it ideal for all skin types.
    Natural Beeswax helps lock in hydration and provides a protective, breathable barrier.

    Perfect for hands, elbows, knees, heels, and anywhere needing extra moisture, this balm is a game-changer for soft, sandal-ready feet and daily hand care.

    With a concentrated, water-free formula, a little goes a long way—making it more effective and longer-lasting than traditional hand lotions.

    Use morning, throughout the day, and before bed, or apply anytime your skin needs a touch of comfort.

    Enjoy a versatile, plant-powered balm that brings softness, nourishment, and daily care to the skin that works hardest.
    How to use

    Gently massage the balm onto clean hands daily after work, gardening, leisure activities, or anytime your hands needs a little extra care (especially during Winter). For best results, apply after washing hands thoroughly, while hands are still warm.

    Very concentrated--so a little goes a long way
    Apply to dry skin trouble spots as needed throughout the day
    Within minutes it melts into your skin--leaving skin feeling ultra soft and supple
    Especially effective if used when skin is still warm and damp after washing or bathing
    Dry, chapped hands, especially after washing, is a common problem. Here are some tips to help.

    Soap: Use a mild, moisturizing natural soap and stay away from detergent bars or liquid washes
    Water temperature: Very hot water can cause your skin to lose moisture more rapidly, leading to dryness. So keep the temperature lukewarm.
    Hand sanitizers are great to use when soap and water are not available, but many can dry and irritate skin. Moisturize your hands after the hand sanitizer has dried. Our Lotion Bars are easy to carry for some portable hand TLC.
    Gently dry hands. Your first instinct is probably to dry your hands until not even a drop of water is left. But it’s actually better to leave your hands a bit damp after drying it helps seal in moisture when using a moisturizer.
    Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Use a gentle, natural, fragrance-free moisturizer. Stay away from lotions (which are mostly water) and go straight to a thick cream or salve that is rich and thick to provide more moisture to your skin.


    If you have very sensitive skin or are simply trying a new product for the first time, we always recommend doing a patch test.

    For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Best if used within 6 months of opening.

    Shipping details

    What is processing time?

    Processing time is the period between placing your order and the package being handed to the shipping carrier.

    Most orders are processed within 2–5 business days, Monday–Friday excluding holidays.

    During this time, your item may be picked, prepared, produced, finished, assembled, personalized, packed, or otherwise made ready for shipment.

    Shipping time does not include processing time. Carrier transit begins after processing is complete and the package has been accepted for shipment.

    Where does my order ship from?

    My American Goods® uses a hybrid fulfillment model.

    • Some products are stocked and shipped directly by My American Goods.
    • Other products ship directly from the independent American brand or maker.

    This allows us to offer a much broader selection of American-made products while supporting the independent businesses that make them.

    Why might my order arrive in multiple packages?

    Products in the same order may ship from different fulfillment locations.

    As a result, items may:

    • Ship on different days
    • Arrive in separate packages
    • Have different tracking numbers
    • Use different shipping carriers or services

    Receiving one package does not necessarily mean the rest of your order is missing.

    How are shipping rates calculated?

    Because products may ship from different makers and fulfillment locations, shipping rates can vary by product or brand.

    • Some products or brands qualify for free shipping above a specific threshold.
    • Other products may use flat-rate or carrier-calculated shipping.
    • Products shipping from separate locations may generate separate shipping charges.

    The applicable shipping cost is shown before your order is completed.

    When will I receive tracking?

    Tracking information is emailed once your item has been prepared and shipped.

    For handmade, made-to-order, pre-order, or specialty products, tracking may not be available until the applicable preparation or production period is complete.

    If the expected processing period for your item has passed and you have not received a shipping update, please contact us.

    Carrier delays & missing packages

    After a package has been accepted by USPS, UPS, FedEx, or another shipping carrier, transit may be affected by weather, holidays, peak-volume periods, transportation disruptions, or other carrier conditions outside our control.

    Shipping and delivery timelines are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise.

    If tracking shows Delivered but you cannot locate the package, check:

    • Household members
    • Neighbors
    • Porches, side doors, garages, and other delivery areas
    • Parcel lockers or building mailrooms

    Carrier scans can occasionally appear shortly before final delivery. If the package still cannot be located, we can assist with a carrier investigation.

    Shipping address accuracy

    Please review your shipping address carefully before completing your order.

    Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address.

    Packages returned because of an incorrect, incomplete, or undeliverable address may require additional shipping charges before they can be sent again.

    The Story behind Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve

    Chagrin Valley started in Ida Friedman’s kitchen in 2001 with eight bars of Goat Milk & Oatmeal Soap. More than two decades later, it remains a family-owned company that develops, tests, and makes every formula in-house in Ohio.

    What especially stands out to us is the commitment behind the organic label. Chagrin Valley became a USDA Certified Organic company in 2010, uses third-party organic certification, and clearly distinguishes between products that qualify for the USDA seal and those certified “Made with Organic Ingredients.”

    That’s why Chagrin Valley belongs at My American Goods®: a real American family business, 25 years of hands-on craftsmanship, certified organic standards, and products still made from start to finish by the people behind the brand.

    Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve FAQs

    Who founded Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve?

    Ida Friedman began making soap in 2001 while working as a middle school science teacher. Her husband, Howard, built her first wooden soap mold, and what began as a kitchen hobby gradually became the family business known today as Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve.
    Where are Chagrin Valley products made?

    Chagrin Valley says all of its products are made in its own Cleveland-area Ohio soap shop, with recipes developed, tested, and produced internally rather than outsourced.
    Are all Chagrin Valley products USDA Certified Organic?

    Chagrin Valley is a USDA Certified Organic company, but certification varies by product. Many non-soap products qualify for the USDA Organic seal, while soaps and shampoo bars generally contain 85–92% organic ingredients and are certified “Made with Organic Ingredients” by OEFFA because lye prevents them from meeting the USDA’s 95% threshold.
    Is Chagrin Valley cruelty-free?

    Yes. Chagrin Valley’s natural soap, shampoo bars, and personal care products are Leaping Bunny Certified Cruelty-Free.
    Are Chagrin Valley products vegan?

    Many are, but not all. Some formulas contain ingredients such as goat milk, yogurt, honey, eggs, or beeswax. Vegan products are identified individually by the brand.
    What does Chagrin Valley make?

    The assortment spans natural soap, shampoo bars, facial oils and creams, deodorant, body balms, bath products, herbal salves, lip care, baby care, men’s grooming, aromatherapy, pet care, and gifts.
