My Story

A scientist celebrating nature's gifts

Ratna Tantra, a former scientist with a deep passion for nature's gifts, embarked on a remarkable journey when she founded Natural Skincare Hampshire in 2019, which honour the beneficial properties of sheep by-products like tallow and lanolin. Residing in Drayton, North Portsmouth, she has skilfully blended her scientific background with her love for natural ingredients, creating a unique line of artisanal cosmetic products  With a vision to expand, she is thrilled to announce the launch of her sister brand, Hampshire Herbal, in 2025. This new venture reflects a shift away from the "sheep theme" while still embracing the core ethos of crafting products from the finest natural ingredients. Inspired by the genuine needs expressed by her friends and family, her formulations includes a salve designed to alleviate aches and pains. Each product is meticulously crafted with care, aiming to deliver the very best of nature's remedies, while celebrating the nostalgia of simpler times.​​

Creating a truly unique formulation for muscles aches and pains 

What makes my eucalyptus salve so special is the commitment to the concept of “growing to salve” I personally oversee each aspect of production, ensuring that every raw material is of the highest quality. I understand and appreciate nuances e.g. how and where the plant is grown can have a significant impact on final product. Hence, my journey begins in my back garden, where I cultivate my own eucalyptus tree and take great care to harvest the leaves at their peak during the spring and summer months. Careful  attention is given to processing the leaves. For example to ensure quality, the harvested leaves have been batch tested for microbial contamination, ensuring they're fit for use prior to the oil infusion phase.

 

Instead of relying on store bought leaves or commercially bought essential oils, I create a one-of-a-kind infusion from the eucalyptus leaves, cycling the oil temperature over three days to extract the full range of benefits. The resulting infused oils are then combined with thoughtfully chosen ingredients to craft my salve. I intentionally avoid adding any scents, allowing the natural, therapeutic qualities of eucalyptus to take centre stage in this carefully crafted product. Made with this homemade eucalyptus infused oil, this salve stands out as an effective solution for alleviating muscle aches, sprains, and joint pains, an essential addition to your wellness routine.

 

 

Experience the remarkable benefits of our Eucalyptus Salve, a product that truly delivers value! While it may come with a higher price tag, its concentrated formula ensures that just a small dab can bring significant relief. Simply use a clean fingertip to apply a small amount to the troubled area, and let the soothing properties work their magic. You can use it repeatedly throughout the day, promoting comfort and wellness whenever needed. Don't let this chance slip away— I currently only harvest twice a year!  

So, embrace the healing power of nature and try our Eucalyptus salve today.

Inspiration 

BEHIND THE EUCALYPTUS SALVE

​At 83 years old, my mother has been navigating the challenges of arthritis, and like many, she faced the daunting prospect of relying on painkillers. Concerned about the side effects and long-term implications of such medications, she sought my help to find a more natural solution. Inspired by her resilience and desire for a better quality of life, I embarked on a mission to create an effective eucalyptus salve. Eucalyptus, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, became central in my formulation. With careful attention and a focus on natural ingredients, I aimed to provide her with a salve which will offer her greater comfort in daily life. The feedback has been heartening; my mother has reported significant relief from her arthritis symptoms, allowing her to re-engage in activities she loves. This journey not only strengthened our bond but also ignited a passion within me to continue exploring natural remedies.
