Our products are pure, intentional, and rooted in tradition. A little goes a long way. Use slowly and with care.
Our small-batch, fresh suet, dry-rendered, and unwhipped tallow naturally responds to environmental conditions. These gentle shifts in texture are to be expected and are a sign of the purity and simplicity of our ingredients.
- In warmer temperatures, the balm may soften. If exposed to extreme heat, refrigerate it to restore a firmer consistency. If it fully melts, leave the lid off and allow it to re-solidify in the refrigerator.
- In cooler temperatures, the balm may become firmer. To soften, place the jar in a warm water bath or bring it into the shower for a few minutes.
We embrace this seasonal adaptability as part of the natural rhythm and beauty of truly handmade, whole-food skincare.
Rooted in tradition. Grounded in regeneration. Designed to nourish.
Founded in 2014 by chef and natural perfumer Megan Bre Camp, Summer Solace Tallow is a pioneering skincare and lifestyle brand based in Oakland, California. We are the first of our kind to champion regenerative suet tallow as the foundation of holistic skin and home care. Each product is handcrafted in-house using time-honored techniques and locally sourced ingredients from trusted Northern California producers. Our mission is to create skincare that is pure, intentional, and deeply restorative.
What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to quality, transparency, and ecological care. We use only kidney suet from pasture-raised Northern California cattle, sourced from Stemple Creek Ranch. This suet tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K and closely mirrors the structure of human skin, making it deeply nourishing and naturally supportive of skin health.
We never use seed oils, synthetic fragrances, or palm oil. Instead, our formulas rely on nutrient-rich animal fats, organic botanicals, and pure essential oils that offer lasting nourishment without compromise.
Every balm, soap, and candle is made in-house using cold-process and dry-rendering methods that preserve nutrient density and the integrity of each ingredient. We proudly partner with local farms and artisans, including Séka Hills (Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation) for extra-virgin olive oil, calendula growers in Sonoma, and Oakland-based master beekeeper Khaled Almaghafi, who provides our raw beeswax.
Our tallow-beeswax candles are clean-burning and crafted without soy or paraffin. They are scented with essential oils and natural absolutes, offering long-lasting, non-toxic aromas that elevate any space.
As the originator of the Slow Body Care Movement®, we honor ancestral practices, whole-animal stewardship, and regenerative agriculture in everything we do.
Summer Solace Tallow is available nationwide, including at Nordstrom, and at our local Oakland farmers markets, where we continue to share our story, our values, and our promise: Skinfood for a Regenerative Future®.
