Grass-fed, pasture-raised tallow benefits are more than just skin deep. At Summer Solace, we make each buttery smooth batch of nourishing tallow in-house and by hand with exclusively locally sourced suet from certified regeneratively raised cattle. More than organic, the ranches we work with practice beyond sustainable methods that draw carbon down from the atmosphere and directly assist in reversing the effects of climate change. These animals are responsibly raised and grazed on Northern California pastures within 60 miles of our Oakland studio, helping us minimize transportation's impact, lower our carbon footprint, and maintain healthy relationships with our ranchers.
"It is wise to eat organic, seasonally, and regionally for sound health and nutrition. What we put on our skin should also reflect our local environment- it's plants and animals that sequester carbon from the atmosphere and that are grown and grazed on regenerative soil, just as our ancestors have"
-Megan Bre Camp, Founder and CEO of Summer Solace
Slow Made + Locally Focused
Grass-fed, pasture-raised tallow contains copious amounts of vitamins A, D, K, E, and B12. It is rich in essential fatty acids that help maintain the skin's structural integrity. Its abundant nutrient profile supports the natural production of collagen. It provides anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, all of which help to treat and soothe dry skin and immune responses like eczema and rosacea. As an occlusive material, tallow mimics the skin's natural barrier, providing protection from environmental and elemental wear and tear and helping retain essential moisture.
Tallow was commonly used as a sustainable, regenerating skin protectant before the introduction of Petrochemicals. Our wise ancestors knew the value and health benefits of using grass-fed animal fats in their diets and topically to protect and heal against the environmental elements.
I believe that we should have a connection to what we put on our skin and use in our homes—connecting to the land, environment and seasons and my community through the farmers’ market sparked me to build my brand around the Slow Body Movement™.
Every ingredient has a story that we can tell. I source from the highest quality and ethically responsible communities and work with people with a purpose- sourcing every single ingredient from the local, ecologically-responsible California community.
Summer Solace's natural candles are artfully hand-crafted from a balanced blend of regeneratively-raised Northern California tallow and sustainably sourced beeswax. Starting with the highest quality, fully traceable regional ingredients, these traditionally made, non-toxic candles lend exceptionally peaceful energy to a home space.
Our commitment to a fully traceable, locally-focused supply chain is unparalleled in the health and wellness industry. We are ceaselessly working to revitalize our ancestors' wise traditional skin care practices by drawing these connections between ourselves and our community and our local environment in all facets.
