Summer Solace Tallow

I'm a baker and my hands get super dried out from constantly handling dough and washing them throughout the day. Anytime I get the opportunity I slather on some Chef & Gardener's balm and it absolutely saves my hands. Love their soaps and candles too, but the balms are a lifesaver for me.

I discovered Summer Solace years ago, and fell in love with their products. Once I found their Masculine/Feminine Tallow Balm there was no going back... It has ever since been the staple of my skin care. The tallow balms, lip balms, are the best. The candles smell great too! So great to know that when they are burning, what you are breathing is pure unadulterated ingredients, and the same with everything that goes on your skin. I have had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Megan and she is a wonderful person. I cannot think of a company that I could more wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.

Oh - and they do the most beautiful packaging, btw! It is a really nice thing to receive in the mail and open. Such care and detail. Makes a really great gift!

The cbd tallow balm is incredible. And Megan, the sweet artisan who makes these products, clearly puts so much love and intention into each batch. I have chronic pain and I had chatted a bit with Megan at the Grand Lake farmers market about this and she sent me home with a little travel tin to try out. I love it so much! Tallow on its own feels so good to put on your skin, and she adds different herbs and/or essential ouls to create unique blends. Honestly, I just want to put this all over my bod!

Megan's products are of exceptional quality, made with local and sustainable ingredients. She puts so much care, intention, and love into crafting her everything she makes, and it shows! I have tried a variety of her balms, candles, and soaps and I have loved them all. My favorites are the cacao rose tallow balm, baby soft multi-purpose tallow balm, cardamom and blood orange tallow lip balm, souchong début tallow candle, and sea change tallow bar soap.

Summer Solace is a unique blend of artistry, nourishment and quality that is so needed and missing in everyday body and home products. I've been using Megan's soaps, candles and balms for a couple years now and I'm beyond obsessed. I am very passionate and picky about the purity of a product and SS exceeds my expectations. Practically speaking, her soaps clean without drying, her balms are thick and luxurious while still sinking in effectively, and her heavenly candles will never give you or anyone in your home a headache. Aesthetically, these are the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one as each order arrives thoughtfully and beautifully packaged. Try the vetiver soap first. I'm back for another refill and just bought 4!
