Donna Heppner is the owner of Black Bear Remedies. A company that creates traditional and modern bear fat products that help many people.

"I was deeply immersed in full time mothering my 5 children, when a neighbor interrupted my day, to ask if she could have some bear fat. She had learned of our way of life, to provide meat for our family through hunting. And on that very same day I learned of her tradition using bear oil as a skin remedy. And so began my adventure into creating bear oil skin remedies."
