Attention Harrisburg tattoo artists! Are you looking for a superior glide and aftercare product that benefits both your process and your clients’ aftercare experience? Look no further than Tattoo Luv, handcrafted just down the road by Momma Bears Creations in Enola, PA.

More and more artists in the Central PA region are discovering the unique advantages of incorporating Tattoo Luv into their workflow. Here’s why it’s becoming a staple in studios like yours:

“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!)

Hey, Momma Bears family and fellow tattoo enthusiasts!

We have some incredibly exciting news to share, especially for our local supporters in the Central Pennsylvania area! We’re all about building community and making our all-natural tattoo and body care products as accessible as possible. That’s why we’re absolutely thrilled to announce a new local partnership: You can now find a curated selection of Momma Bears Creations products on the shelves at SCC Tattoos in Harrisburg, PA!

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.

People ask me all the time at Carlisle Creative Vibes and at craft shows: “Why is shea butter in everything? What’s so special about it?”

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.

Big News: Find Momma Bears Creations in Downtown Carlisle!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that you can now find a fantastic selection of Momma Bears Creations products right in the heart of Carlisle, Pennsylvania! We’ve partnered with the wonderful folks at Carlisle Creative Vibes (CCV), a vibrant hub for local artists and makers.

This is a huge step for us, making it easier than ever for our Central PA neighbors to experience our handcrafted natural skincare and unique Tattoo Luv products in person.

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.

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.
