Hemp Seed Oil for Your Face: Why This Ingredient Changed My Mind About Natural Skincare

“Wait, Hemp? Isn’t That…?”

Hey friends! Stacie here, writing from our Enola kitchen where I’m surrounded by soap-curing racks and ingredient research.

Let me address the elephant in the room right away:

Yes, hemp seed oil comes from the hemp plant.

No, it won’t get you high. No THC. No CBD. Just pure, nutrient-rich oil.

I get it—the name throws people off. At our first East Pennsboro Pumpkinfest with our Hemp Charcoal Eucalyptus facial bar, at least five people asked if it was “legal.” (Yes! Completely legal! Just good skincare!)

Shea Butter: Why It's in Almost Everything We Make (And 5 Ways to Use It)

Hey Friends, Let’s Talk Shea Butter!

Stacie here (Momma Bear). If you’ve ever looked at the ingredient list on one of our Momma Bears Creations products, you’ve probably noticed that shea butter shows up… a lot.

Our soaps? Shea butter. Our body butters? Obviously, shea butter. Our lotion bars? You guessed it—shea butter.

Gentle Skincare for Sensitive Skin: What Actually Works (From an Enola Mom)

When Your Kid’s Skin Breaks Out and You Don’t Know Why

Hey friends! Stacie here, and I need to talk about something that breaks my heart every time I see it:

Red, irritated, itchy skin on a child’s face. Eczema patches on little hands. Rashy reactions to “gentle” products that aren’t actually gentle at all.

As a mom and now a grandmother, I’ve been there. Standing in the drugstore skincare aisle, reading labels that promise “hypoallergenic” and “gentle for babies”—only to try them and watch my grandson’s skin flare up AGAIN.

The Natural Ingredients That Actually Work for Your Skin (From 10+ Years of Making Soap)

The Ingredients I Trust (After Years of Trial and Error)

Hey friends! Stacie here, writing from our Enola kitchen where I’m surrounded by jars of natural ingredients—shea butter, coconut oil, essential oils, dried herbs.

Let me tell you what I’ve learned after making soap and skincare products for over a decade, testing every single batch on my own skin before I’d ever sell it to a customer.

Here’s the reality: Not all “natural” ingredients are created equal. Some work beautifully. Some are overhyped by wellness influencers. Some are great IN THEORY but don’t hold up when you’re actually making products in your kitchen and using them through brutal Central PA winters.

DIY Natural Skincare: Should You Make It or Buy It? (Honest Thoughts from Someone Who Makes It)

The Question I Get at Every Craft Show

Hey friends! Stacie here, writing from our Enola kitchen where soap is curing on Papa Bear’s custom racks and ingredient jars line the shelves.

At craft shows—especially East Pennsboro Pumpkinfest and Central Dauphin—I get this question ALL the time:

“Can I just make this myself at home?”

My honest answer? “You can… but do you really WANT to?”

I never get offended by this question. In fact, I LOVE it! It means someone cares about natural ingredients enough to consider making their own. That’s exactly the mindset shift we need—away from harsh commercial products and toward gentler options.
