Summer Solace Tallow is a pioneering skincare and lifestyle brand based in Oakland, California, specializing in regenerative suet tallow skincare, soaps, and candles. Founded in 2014, the company is rooted in the principles of the Slow Body Care Movement®, focusing on locally sourced, organic, and regeneratively raised ingredients to nourish both the skin and the planet.

At Summer Solace Tallow, every product is handcrafted in-house using suet from cattle raised on Northern California ranches that practice regenerative agriculture. These practices not only ensure the highest-quality ingredients but also contribute to reversing the effects of climate change through carbon sequestration and soil restoration. From tallow balms to artisanal soaps and candles, the products reflect a deep commitment to sustainability, transparency, and holistic care.

The brand’s tagline, "Skinfood for a Regenerative Future®," encapsulates its mission: to provide deeply nourishing products while promoting practices that restore and protect our environment.

The Founder:

Megan Bre Camp is the founder and CEO of Summer Solace Tallow. Originally from Anchorage, Alaska, Megan’s roots are intertwined with her indigenous Vietnamese and Filipino heritage. She is deeply influenced by her ancestors' holistic and sustainable practices, which inform her approach to both skincare and life.

Megan began her journey in the culinary arts, training at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Her career as a pastry chef and chocolatier in the San Francisco Bay Area honed her skills in working with local, seasonal, and organic ingredients. She later studied horticulture and permaculture at Merritt College in Oakland, deepening her connection to sustainable practices. This blend of culinary expertise and a love for the land ultimately inspired her to create Summer Solace Tallow.

The company began as a solution for friends whose babies were experiencing eczema and diaper rash. Megan used her knowledge of animal fats to create tallow-based balms, and what started as a small endeavor soon grew into a thriving business. She is also a proud advocate for regenerative agriculture as a producer and board member of the Northern California Fibershed™ and a member of Land to Market™.

Megan’s passion extends beyond her products—she educates customers about the benefits of tallow and regenerative practices, aiming to inspire others to live in harmony with the earth. She balances her work with a fulfilling family life as a mother to her daughters, Ulrikke and Severin, and a wife to her husband, Brian.

Under Megan's leadership, Summer Solace Tallow continues to grow, with its products now available nationwide, including in prestigious retailers like Nordstrom. Her vision remains steadfast: to create skincare that nourishes the skin while fostering a regenerative future for the planet.

Welcome to Summer Solace! Here are our answers to some frequently asked questions.

For any queries, reach out to us at: hello@summersolacetallow.com

New to tallow balm? Here's how to store it:

Place your tallow balm in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight.

Why do you not whip your balms?


We refrain from whipping our balm products or incorporating water into them.

Whipping introduces air and bacteria, potentially misleading consumers with inflated volume.

Picture a whipped product left on a shelf during summer—it would likely melt, leaving only half the product in the jar.

Instead, we meticulously hand-pour our tallow to preserve its full benefits. We consider whipping an amateur technique employed to conceal the scent of inadequately rendered tallow.

Our commitment lies in revealing the authentic essence of our fresh suet tallow through careful hand-pouring.


Want to adjust your balm's texture?

Achieve your preferred texture by immersing the closed container in warm water. Once melted, remove the lid and let it cool in the refrigerator. This will ensure your balm remains soft and easy to spread. Remember, tallow behaves like many natural fats – solidifying in cold conditions and becoming soft in warmer temperatures. The balm's consistency can vary with temperature changes, especially during winter.

Wondering about storing your tallow soap?

For handcrafted soaps like ours, a raised soap dish works best. Ensure it dries between uses to prolong its life.

Curious about the shelf life of tallow products?


Our tallow is of exceptional quality and has a long shelf life, but it’s best to use our products while they are fresh. We make small batches every week to maintain the highest quality. Since we use regenerative tallow, which is naturally shelf-stable, our products remain fresh without the need for artificial preservatives. For optimal results, we recommend using them within 8-12 weeks after opening.

Is tallow safe for facial use or for children?


Absolutely! Tallow is beneficial for most skin types, even sensitive ones like facial skin. Its composition closely resembles human skin, making it easily absorbable. Rich in essential vitamins such as A, D, K, E, and B12, organic tallow, especially from pasture-raised cattle, works wonders on skin issues like eczema and diaper rashes. Consider it a healthier substitute for mainstream synthetic creams.

Product Disclaimer:

Before using our products, we strongly advise seeking medical attention or consulting with an allergist, especially if you have known allergies or sensitive skin. It is essential to conduct patch tests on small, inconspicuous areas of the body before applying products to larger areas or the face. This precautionary measure helps to minimize the risk of adverse reactions. We care about your well-being and want to ensure your safety and satisfaction with our products.

Thinking of trimming your tallow candle's wick?

Our tallow-beeswax candles are distinct from regular candles in terms of ingredients and their gentle, prolonged burn. Referred to as 'living candles', wick-trimming is optional based on your preference. For safety, always refer to the warning sticker on the candle's bottom.

We pride ourselves on using Eco wicks, which are not only made from cotton sourced locally from the West Coast but also burn cleanly without any lead.

Before lighting up, ensure your tallow candle burns for about 4 hours, forming a uniform tallow wax pool. Trim the wick as and when necessary and never leave a lit candle unattended.
