The Diaper Bag Problem That Started It All

Hey friends! Stacie here. Let me tell you how I fell in love with lotion bars.

The scenario: Maddi had a newborn. Diaper bag chaos. Bottles, diapers, wipes, snacks, toys—everything you need when you leave the house with a baby.

The problem: Lotion. Traditional lotion bottles would leak EVERYWHERE. Open the diaper bag, and there’s lotion all over the diapers, the wipes, the snacks. Total mess.

NEW: Tattoo Luv now has its own dedicated professional site! Visit www.tattooluv.com for complete product information, artist resources, and our Sponsored Artist Program.

Momma Bears Creations has developed a professional line of tattoo care products designed specifically for both artists and aftercare. These products provide gentle and effective care for tattoos, ensuring they stay moisturized while maintaining vibrant colors.

Our Tattoo Journey

For those familiar with the team at Momma Bears Creations, it’s no secret that we have quite a few tattoos ourselves. Our passion for body art has driven us to constantly seek better ways to care for our tattoos. This journey led us to develop products that not only meet our high standards but also align with our love for natural ingredients.

“Wait, What IS That Fluffy Stuff?”

Hey friends! Stacie here. Let me tell you about one of the most confusing—and most loved—products we sell.

The scenario: We’re at a craft show (Williams Grove, East Pennsboro Pumpkinfest, Central Dauphin). Someone stops at our table. They see jars of fluffy, cloud-like product. They pick one up, look confused, and ask:

“What IS this? Frosting?”

I laugh every single time. Because honestly? It DOES look like frosting. Fluffy, whipped, colorful, sitting in a jar like fancy cupcake icing.

Dear valued customers and friends,

We’re thrilled to announce some exciting changes coming to Momma Bears Creations. As we continue to grow and evolve, we’ve made the decision to close our location at The Shoppes at Newberrytown. This move marks a new chapter in our journey, and we couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds!

Why We’re Making This Change

Our time at The Shoppes at Newberrytown has been wonderful, filled with memories and connections we’ll always cherish. However, as our business has grown, we’ve realized that to serve you better and reach even more customers, we need to adapt our approach.

Exciting news, soap lovers! Momma Bears Creations has found a new home at Carlisle Creative Vibes, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

A New Adventure Begins

We’re excited to announce that you can now find our handcrafted soaps, lotions, and other pampering products at Carlisle Creative Vibes in Carlisle, PA. This vibrant hub of local artistry and creativity is the perfect spot for our lovingly made creations.

What You’ll Find

At our new location, you’ll discover a wide range of our popular products:

The Year My Hands Cracked and Bled Every Winter

Hey friends! Stacie here, writing from our Enola kitchen on a cold February morning. Let me tell you about the product that changed my life—and eventually became one of our bestsellers.

The scenario: It’s January in Central PA. Temperatures are in the teens. Indoor heating is blasting and sucking every bit of moisture from the air. I’m making soap all day (which means constant handwashing). My hands are a disaster—cracked, bleeding, painful every time I bend my fingers.

“Which Soap Should I Use?” - The Question We Get at Every Craft Show

Hey friends! Stacie here (Momma Bear). You know what question we hear most at craft shows and at our Carlisle Creative Vibes booth?

“Which soap is best for my skin type?”

Usually followed by: “I have dry skin… I think? Or maybe sensitive? Actually, my T-zone gets oily but my cheeks are dry. What do I even have?!”

Why I Started Making My Own Soap (It Wasn’t for Fun)

Hey friends! Stacie here. Let me tell you how this whole soapmaking journey started.

The problem: My hands were a mess. Dry, cracked, sometimes bleeding. I was using “moisturizing” soap from the store, but it made my skin feel WORSE.

The lightbulb moment: I read the ingredient list on my soap. Sodium laureth sulfate, synthetic fragrance, propylene glycol, triclosan… I didn’t recognize half the ingredients. And I was washing my face and body with this stuff every single day.
