Trish O’Neill keeps bees in Dunhill, County Waterford. She comes from a long line of beekeepers — six generations, by her own count — which means she has access to something most skincare brands spend a fortune trying to source credibly: genuinely good beeswax and raw honey from her own hives. From this starting point, Trish has built an organic skincare range that is, in the most literal sense, farm to face.
The Products
The range is designed for sensitive skin — a practical starting point that shaped every formulation decision. No parabens, no mineral oils, no synthetic fragrances, no essential oils, no artificial colours. The products are certified organic by the Irish Organic Association and made by hand in Waterford using plant-based oils alongside the beeswax and honey from Trish’s own bees. Lip balms, hand creams, body butters, skincare sets — each one simple in its ingredient list and honest about what it contains.
The organic certification — awarded in 2016 — isn’t a marketing choice. It reflects a commitment to ingredients that Trish would be comfortable using on her own allergy-prone skin, which is, she’s been clear about, exactly how the range was developed. She couldn’t find what she needed on the market, so she made it herself. The best product stories often start that way.
Why We Rate It
Ireland has a growing number of natural skincare brands, but Trish’s sits near the top for transparency. You know exactly where the core ingredients come from — a farm in Dunhill, Waterford — and the formulations are genuinely free of the things most sensitive-skin sufferers are trying to avoid. The gift sets are particularly good: well-packaged, locally made, and the kind of thing that works as a present for almost anyone.
