Know before you buy
This blend is denser and more nutrient-rich than standard waxes. Because it is derived from regeneratively raised cattle and local beeswax, it offers a slower, cleaner burn that is free from the synthetic additives often found in mass-produced candles.
It is a complex gourmand fragrance that balances earthy and sweet notes. You will notice a prominent figgy, jammy quality from the strawberry oil, grounded by the herbal, grassy undertones of California fig leaf and hay absolute.
No. The tallow is freshly rendered and refined specifically for candle making, ensuring it is odorless. The scent experience is entirely defined by the natural essential oils infused into the wax.
Yes, the tallow and beeswax blend is designed for a clean, smokeless burn. To maintain this, ensure you keep the wick trimmed to about a quarter-inch before each use to prevent carbon buildup.
Summer Solace prioritizes local sourcing, with the tallow coming from Stemple Creek Ranch in Northern California. The wax base is further enriched with organic marigold CO2 wax and raw, hyper-local beeswax.
With a volume of 6 ounces, you can expect approximately 40 hours of burn time. For the best results, allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax pool to reach the edges of the glass during your first use.
