Rooted in our grandmothers’ traditions, Mert & Gert is handcrafted tallow skincare made from locally sourced grass fed suet that we render ourselves.

Small batch creams, soaps, and body care created simply and honestly.

A little glimpse into what summer has looked like at Mert & Gert 🤍

It has been busy, messy, exciting and filled with so many moments we will always remember. We have spent our days making products, pouring soap, baking sourdough and cookies, building our little farm stand, creating a night market display from the ground up and packing custom gifts for bridal parties.

We have attended night markets, tried new ideas, learned as we went and spent a whole lot of time laughing together along the way.

What started as two best friends dreaming about creating something rooted in simpler times has slowly grown into something more special than we ever imagined.

Every loaf, bar of soap, jar and gift is made by hand, with care, by the two of us. Thank you for following along, visiting our stand, shopping with us and cheering us on through this very busy summer.

We are only getting started 🤍
