I found the owner at a market in Galway on our one and only night there, I had heard of Beef Tallow products but never tried it before! She was super sweet and explained the process! My friend being a believer already, and I bought the combo pack together. It had changed my life, my eczema is no longer a problem!!! I was using it so sparingly but decided to pull the trigger and stock up, I hope I never run out of this product and recommend it others who have tried all sorts of western medicine on their flare ups!
Thank you so much, Monia, it was lovely meeting you at the market. I really appreciate you sharing your experience with eczema and taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I’m delighted you’re enjoying the Essential Balm. Your support means so much to me!

I visited Galway in May and stumbled across Solace Skincare at the Tiny Traders Market and loved everything about the brand. I had bought some at the market and later realized I needed to get one for my mom and another one for me of course. Living in Arizona my skin is constantly dry and chapped from the heat and I can say that I instantly saw results. I now have both the barrier balm and the essential balm and they are both an absolute staple in my skincare routine. Reading the story of about how and where the product came to be is even more of a reason to love it! I hope to make my way back to the beautiful country of Ireland and when I do I will definitely be stocking up!
Thank you so much Sarah for such a lovely photo review! It was a pleasure meeting you and im so happy to hear your loving the balms and it has helped with your dryness! Dont be a stranger if your ever back in Galway! Best, Donna
The owner is absolutely amazing. She made the experience personalized by providing me a lip balm that has helped my dry cracked lips. I live in Washington state USA and recently visited Galway, Ireland this past April/May 2026. I had purchased one while I was there, and the owner took the time to talk with me about each of her products. She expressed great passion and care with her business. I spent the next couple of weeks using this to moisturize my skin and face every other day. It moisturized my skin so well that I didn't have to use it every day. By the time I got home I prioritized my skin by purchasing each of the products. I absolutely love these. My skin has never looked or felt so healthy. I use the Barrier Balm for my face, a small custom lip balm, the Essential Balm for my hands and arms, and the Bare Balm for my legs and feet. I am a forever customer. Thank you for caring so much, my skin thanks you too.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review ❤️
It was an absolute pleasure meeting you in Galway and hearing that the products made such a difference to your skin honestly means the world to me. As a small business owner, every order, every conversation, and every review like this is so appreciated.
I still remember chatting with you about the balms, and it makes me so happy to know they're now part of your daily routine all the way over in Washington! Knowing that your skin is healthier, more comfortable, and that you've found products you genuinely love is exactly why I started Solace.
Thank you for supporting a small Irish business and for trusting me with your skin. Reviews like yours remind me why I do what I do every day.
Sending lots of love from Galway, and thank you again for trusting Solace ☘️
