Vendor Partner Spotlight: Papa Bear Original

Papa Bear Original was a Vendor Partner for the SimplyNCgoods August 2024 box.  Matthew Morris, the owner of Papa Bear Original, provided versions of their beard oil and beard balm for inclusion in this recent SimplyNCgoods box.  Matthew shared that, “Papa Bear Original’s products are cruelty-free and made with the utmost care and attention to quality, ensuring that they meet the highest standards of excellence.”

Product Highlight

Matthew shared some details with us about both the beard balm and beard oil from Papa Bear Original:

“One of Papa Bear Original’s popular products is our Beard Oil, which is designed to nourish and condition the beard and the underlying skin.  The Beard Oil is made from a blend of all-natural carrier oils, which helps to moisturize and soften the beard, reducing itchiness and dryness.  The oil is also infused with a carefully selected blend of essential oils, which provide a pleasant fragrance and additional benefits like promoting hair growth and soothing the skin.  Papa Bear Original’s Beard Oil comes in a convenient dropper bottle or a spray bottle allowing for easy application and precise control over the amount of oil used.”

“Another popular product is the Beard Balm, which is a leave-in conditioner and styling product for the beard.  The Beard Balm is crafted using a blend of natural butters, such as shea butter and cocoa butter, along with beeswax, to provide a light hold and tame unruly facial hair.  Like the Beard Oil, the Beard Balm also contains a blend of essential oils for added fragrance and benefits.  Papa Bear Original’s Beard Balm comes in a portable tin, making it easy to carry and use on the go.  

“Both the Beard Oil and Beard Balm are free from harsh chemicals, parabens, and artificial fragrances, making them suitable for all skin types.  Papa Bear Original’s products are cruelty-free and made with the utmost care and attention to quality, ensuring that they meet the highest standards of excellence.”

Matthew also shared that both products can be used for general hair and skin care, making them functional for both the bearded and those without beards.
