Made my first small custom batch of hand and body lotion.
Using Bear Grease as a base, alone Bear grease has amazing healing and softening properties, I have used it myself for a while, by itself at first, then adding other well known products. Trying to look out for those with sensitivities and allergies especially for nut allergies, also using non toxic all natural preservative alternative.
This one is because one Fam Member had tried pretty much everything under the sun for hard working hands. So ho0e it works well.
Testing it with the Kids and grand kids. To get perfect the recipe, with the perfect scent. And hopefully non greasy.
My pain balm is a Mega hit, yay.
I do some of my bear grease pain balm left, if anybody would like to try it. Its Like a pain cream for sore muscles, arthritis, has helped with bone pain, migraine, woman moon time pain. Made it for my own back pain. Which is nerve pain, nit really effective for that, by itself. But have recently found a plant that says it helps with nerve pain, so will likely add it to the next batch.
People have asked if I sell it, I say not yet, as there are regulations, then trying to think of a price, that anybody can afford.
The problem is Bear Grease is terribly expensive to buy in Canada, even though most places that sell it get their bear fat donated. I understand that the bottle and jars and the rendering cost money, but I wouldn't think that much.
In my mind if it's free to you, why would you put such an inflated price on it. I can get it super cheap from the US, however it is illegal to ship across the border.
If anybody knows of any Bear Hunters that are willing donate the bear fat to me, we can render it ourselves. And I can make up these products, much cheaper then pass along the savings.
I can't in good conscience make a profit off of things that help others.
