Handcrafted in Oakland, Rendered with Care
All of our suet tallow products are crafted in-house by cook and natural perfumer Megan Bre Camp. Since 2014, we have nurtured a diverse ecology, much like caring for a home.
Our balms, soaps, and candles are as nourishing for your body as they are for the community they come from — a web of reliance alongside our neighbors and land stewards at Stemple Creek Ranch in Petaluma, The Local Butcher Shop in Berkeley, Séka Hills in Capay Valley, and Khaled Almaghafi’s Oakland apiaries.
Emanations Profound Face Oil
Our deep reverence for skin healing led to our most cherished creation: Emanations Profoundly Nourishing Face Oil.
A restorative, nutrient-dense blend of regenerative suet tallow, cold-pressed emu, rosehip, sea buckthorn, and rare Indian attars — it supports the skin’s natural balance, enhances radiance, and soothes even the most depleted complexions.
A sensory ritual bridging ancestral care and modern performance.

FAQs
Why tallow?
Suet tallow is a nutrient-rich rendered fat that has been valued in traditional skincare for centuries. Naturally rich in fatty acids and fat-soluble nutrients, its lipid profile is well suited to moisturizing and nourishing the skin while supporting its natural barrier.
Unlike conventional lotions made primarily with water, our tallow balms are concentrated, anhydrous formulas made without synthetic fillers or unnecessary additives. The result is simple, deeply nourishing skincare made with a time-honored ingredient.
Does your tallow have a strong “beefy” smell?
Not at all. Our suet tallow smells grassy and slightly animalic, much like freshly churned grass-fed butter.
A “beefy” or rancid smell can come from aged, overheated, or poorly sourced tallow made from trim fat or a conglomerate of beef fats. We use only fresh suet from regenerative Stemple Creek Ranch in Tomales Bay, hand-rendered in small batches using slow, traditional methods.
The result is a clean, buttery balm with a subtle, natural aroma. We also offer unscented options for those sensitive to added fragrance.
Is it greasy?
Our Tallow Balm absorbs beautifully, leaving the skin soft and supple without a greasy feel. Naturally rich in saturated fatty acids, tallow provides lasting nourishment without sitting heavily on the skin. A small amount, warmed between your hands and gently pressed into the skin, is all it takes.
Is tallow good for sensitive skin or eczema?
Yes. Tallow is gentle, deeply nourishing, and well-suited to dry and sensitive skin. Our unscented products are especially popular with customers who experience eczema, psoriasis, or highly sensitive skin. Naturally rich in skin-supportive fatty acids and nutrients, tallow helps moisturize, soften, and support the skin’s natural barrier.
What does “regeneratively raised cattle” mean?
Regeneratively raised cattle are part of farming systems designed to restore soil health, support biodiversity, and strengthen the land over time, going beyond sustainability toward regeneration. We source our fresh suet exclusively from regional ranches committed to these regenerative practices.
