The Journey from Eczema to Healthy Skin: Our TLC Skin Salve Story.
Living with eczema is a daily struggle which includes itching, flaking, dryness, and the constant search for relief. At Red Rose Naturals, we understand that struggle deeply. Our first and most personal creation, TLC Skin Salve, was born from our founder’s desire to care for her son’s painful eczema flare-ups. This wasn’t just a business idea; it was a mission rooted in love, desperation, and the hope that nature could provide what synthetic creams couldn't. Today, TLC Skin Salve continues to transform lives, bringing real relief to eczema sufferers across the world.
In this blog, we share the heartfelt journey behind TLC Skin Salve, real testimonials from our customers, and the lasting impact of choosing a natural skincare solution that actually works.
A Mother's Mission: The Birth of TLC Skin Salve
Before Red Rose Naturals became a trusted name in natural skincare, it was simply a mother trying everything under the sun to soothe her child’s inflamed skin. Our founder, Sharica McGee’s young son battled severe eczema—red patches, constant itching, sleepless nights, and tears of frustration. Prescription creams offered temporary relief but came with side effects. Steroids creams were not an option.
This led her down the path of research, blending, and experimenting with nature’s most powerful healing ingredients. Calendula for its anti-inflammatory properties, lavender and tea tree for their soothing and antimicrobial effects, and nourishing oils to restore moisture and balance. After weeks of trial and error in her kitchen, the very first batch of TLC Skin Salve was born.
The result? Relief. Calm. Healing. Her son’s skin began to improve visibly—less redness, less itching, and most importantly, he began to sleep peacefully again.
That single batch changed everything. It was the spark that started Red Rose Naturals.
From One Child to Thousands: The Power of TLC Skin Salve
What began as a homemade solution for one little boy has become a go-to eczema lotion for thousands. TLC Skin Salve is now a five-star rated product available on Amazon and RedRoseNaturals.com, and it continues to win hearts because of its gentle, effective formula.
Unlike harsh chemical creams, TLC Skin Salve is rich in botanicals and free from parabens, synthetic fragrances, or steroids. It’s crafted with:
-
Calendula extract – calms inflammation and speeds healing
-
Lavender essential oil – soothes the skin and calms the mind
-
Tea Tree oil – helps fight bacteria and prevent infection
-
Shea butter & nourishing oils – restore moisture and strengthen the skin barrier
This product is a testament to what natural healing can do when science and heart work together.

Why TLC Skin Salve Was Our First—and Why It Remains the Heart of Our Brand
There’s a reason TLC Skin Salve was our very first product. It came from a place of urgency, love, and the need to heal eczema naturally. That emotional foundation remains at the core of everything we do at Red Rose Naturals.
The success of TLC Skin Salve showed us that plant-powered healing is not only possible but often more sustainable and gentle than conventional treatments. It taught us that listening to real people’s skin stories mattered more than marketing trends or flashy packaging.
Because of its success, we've expanded our line to include cleansers, body butters, and oils, however, TLC Skin Salve will always be our cornerstone. It’s not just a product; it’s our origin story.
The Impact on Eczema Sufferers: More Than Just Skin Deep
Eczema affects more than just the skin. It impacts sleep, confidence, daily comfort, and mental health. Children may feel self-conscious, adults may avoid public outings, and both endure the stress of flare-ups and trial-and-error treatments.
What sets TLC Skin Salve apart is its multi-dimensional approach:
-
Soothing relief on contact
-
Reduction of long-term flare-ups with consistent use
-
Support for the skin barrier, promoting lasting hydration and protection
We’ve had parents write to us in tears, sharing how their children are finally wearing short sleeves without shame. Adults who finally feel confident enough to stop hiding behind makeup. And others who have found comfort and peace after years of pain.
For us, that’s the real impact: restoring freedom and self-confidence, one jar at a time.
More Than a Salve: A Philosophy of Gentle Healing
At Red Rose Naturals, we believe that natural skincare should be effective, gentle, and safe for the whole family. We intentionally craft our products with clean, purposeful ingredients—no fillers, no irritants, and no shortcuts.
TLC Skin Salve embodies that philosophy. Every ingredient serves a function. Every jar is made with care. And every customer matters.
If you’re new to natural eczema treatment, here’s what we recommend when using TLC Skin Salve:
Tips for Best Results:
-
Apply on clean, dry skin to affected areas morning and night.
-
Reapply as needed during the day, especially during flare-ups.
-
Use alongside a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh soaps or fragrances.
-
Keep skin moisturized between applications with complementary products like our hydrating body oils.
Over time, many customers report less dependency on steroid creams, fewer flare-ups, and skin that finally feels healthy again.
