Skinfood for a Regenerative Future®
The Highest Standard in Ethical, Regionally Sourced, Animal-Based Skincare
Transformative. Nutrient-Rich Skincare.
Each balm is thoughtfully crafted with local, regenerative ingredients, inspired by the ancestral tradition of healing animal fats. Our unrefined tallow provides unparalleled skin nourishment.
Hand-poured and slowly dry-rendered in-house from fresh suet sourced from grass-finished, regeneratively raised cattle at Stemple Creek Ranch in Tomales Bay, California, our nutrient-dense tallow honors ancient principles while offering modern efficacy.
Infused with botanicals from the Northern California landscape and enriched with indigenous-grown extra virgin olive oil, each formula is made to support and sustain deep skin health.
Nourish your skin the traditional way.
Intuitively Made + Locally-Focused
Experience skincare crafted by chef and natural perfumer Megan Bre Camp.
Grounded in traditional techniques and the rich heritage of Northern California, each balm blends fresh, nutrient-rich suet from Stemple Creek Ranch with Sonoma-grown calendula and extra virgin olive oil from Séka Hills, produced by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation in Capay Valley.
Our process preserves the full integrity of the tallow. We never overheat, whip, or dilute it. The result is a golden-hued, gently emulsified balm that melts into the skin for optimal absorption and lasting nourishment. Every formula is pH-balanced to support both efficacy and harmony with the skin’s natural barrier.
Each product is made to nourish deeply while honoring tradition, sustainability, and regional heritage. We don’t follow trends. We remain in tune with the seasons, guided by the land, committed to ancestral principles, and devoted to whole-animal stewardship.

Regenerative Tallow® Beauty
What is Tallow?
Tallow is at the heart of everything we do at Summer Solace.
As the pioneer in Regenerative Tallow® and the Slow Body Care Movement®, we source beef suet fat, a nutritious animal fat derived from the suet naturally surrounding the loins and kidneys of cattle.
Though often discarded today, tallow has historically been used in a myriad of culinary and cosmetic applications when saved from the waste stream. It has been a vital resource among pastoral communities throughout much of human history.
At Summer Solace, we craft all of our tallow in-house using slow, soft, traditional dry-rendering methods, starting with suet (we never use trim fat!) from healthy animals raised for meat at Stemple Creek Ranch. These animals spend their lives grazing on regenerative Northern California pasturelands.
The SST Way
Rooted in sustainability and craftsmanship, our skincare celebrates the wisdom of ancestral ingredients.
We transform pure fresh, regeneratively sourced suet tallow into luxurious, restorative skincare that replenishes the skin while respecting the land.
Every product is made with care, steeped in tradition, and designed to heal and nourish like no other.
Experience the profound benefits of skincare crafted in harmony with nature.
If your values align with regenerative, regionally sourced skincare, we’re honored to be part of your journey.
