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.

We’re Going Back to Central Dauphin!

Hey friends! Maddi and Stacie here, and we’re SO excited!

The CD Ram Band Spring Craft Show is coming up (April 5th), and we’re already in full prep mode. Scott’s building extra display shelves. I’m (Stacie) making fresh batches of soap. Maddi’s organizing inventory and making sure we don’t forget anything this time (last year we forgot half our lip balms at home—oops!).

Central Dauphin shows are special for us. This is one of our local communities—neighbors, friends, familiar faces who’ve supported us from the very beginning. I still remember our first CD Ram Band show years ago: nervous energy, wondering if anyone would stop by our booth, hoping people would love what we made.
