Ancestral Wisdom from PASTURE TO PALM™


Gardener’s Tallow Soap is your restorative ritual after a day of honest work—cleansing without compromise and honoring your connection to land, labor, and self-care.

Why Choose Gardener’s Tallow Soap?

  • Hydrating & Soothing: Regenerative tallow and Séka Hills olive oil provide restorative hydration and barrier repair
  • Multi-Use Functionality: Ideal for hands but gentle enough for full-body cleansing—especially after outdoor work or exercise. Perfect for gardeners, gym-goers, chefs, mechanics, and artists—removes inks, paint, sweat, and more

Crafted with Purpose

Handmade in-house using cold-processed methods to preserve the nutrients of each ingredient, this bar is rooted in regional sourcing and whole-animal stewardship.

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.

Weather Effects: Our handcrafted soaps may develop small cracks or imperfections, especially in colder weather. These are natural and do not affect quality.


We embrace this seasonal adaptability as part of the natural rhythm and beauty of truly handmade, whole-food skincare.

Founded in 2014 by chef and natural perfumer Megan Bre Camp, Summer Solace Tallow is a heritage skincare brand based in Oakland, California. We craft regenerative suet tallow skincare, soaps, and candles by hand using traditional methods and locally sourced ingredients.

Our products are made in-house with pasture-raised kidney suet from Stemple Creek Ranch, Séka Hills olive oil, Sonoma-grown calendula, and Oakland-harvested beeswax. Free from seed oils, synthetic fragrances, and palm oil, our formulas nourish skin deeply and sustainably.

What Makes Summer Solace Tallow Different?

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.
