Every product is meticulously handcrafted with intention and care. Our founder, whose heritage is rooted in the indigenous traditions of the Central Highlands of Vietnam and the Philippines and who was raised in Alaska, ensures that each offering reflects a deep connection to nature, ancestral wisdom, and the changing seasons.

We proudly partner with Stemple Creek Ranch, a family-owned farm in Tomales Bay, California, where beef cattle roam freely on coastal grasslands, grazing on wild herbs touched by the Pacific Ocean’s saline mist. We never use trim or scrap fat. Instead, we work only with fresh, whole suet—specifically kidney fat—harvested and dry-rendered the same day to preserve its full vitality. This slow, in-house process protects the purity and therapeutic quality of the fat.

To this foundation, we add organic golden calendula flower wax grown in Sonoma and extra-virgin olive oil from the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation of Seka Hills in Capay Valley. These regionally sourced ingredients form the base of our soaps, balms, and candles.

Each formulation is completed with a delicate bouquet of top-quality essential oils, resins, waxes, and absolutes, chosen in collaboration with experts in natural perfumery, aromatherapy, and archaeology. These elements are selected not just for their scent, but for their healing properties and respectful cultivation.

As tallow becomes more popular, we encourage mindfulness about the practices and values you choose to support. At Summer Solace, we are not here for trends. We are here to uphold traditional principles, to nourish with integrity, and to revive the ancestral use of regional, holistic animal fats. Our purpose is to help the skin heal and bloom from the outside in.

We remain committed to nutrient-dense, whole-food skincare and to honoring the land, the animals, and the people who make this work possible. That is where our values lie.

Oakland, California – Summer Solace Tallow, leader of the Slow Body Care Movement® since 2014, is radically revitalizing the traditional practices of our ancestors by uniquely redefining the skincare landscape with regional, animal-based ingredients.

Slow-made, by hand, and in small batches with locally sourced, fresh, organic suet from Northern California pasture-raised cattle, owner and artisan Megan Bre Camp's line of holistically crafted skincare and home goods is leading the way to a regenerative, fully-traceable future in the realm of self-care. 

Before modern skincare shifts, tallow was revered as a natural skin safeguard. Historical practices appreciated the nourishing properties of grass-fed animal fats, a tradition we're proud to continue.
