Certified Formulator — Skincare, Haircare & Aromatherapy Tara completed a rigorous one-year certification programme in formulation, with a primary focus on aromatherapy — the science of using plant-derived aromatic compounds for therapeutic and sensory benefit. This training forms the backbone of every Nytarra product: understanding which botanicals work, how scent molecules interact in a space, and how to build blends that are both safe and genuinely effective. Her formulation approach prioritises IFRA compliance, phthalate-free bases, and small-batch freshness — standards she applies personally to Nytarra's camphor blends, dhoop, air and car fresheners, and incense range.
