Our Story
Emerald City was born out of a simple intention: to create a holistic and healthy lifestyle for ourselves and those we love. We wanted to build a healthier environment in every way possible, starting with what we put on and into our bodies. As we educated ourselves about the countless harmful chemicals lurking in everyday products, we knew we had to make a change.
That’s when we discovered tallow. It quickly became a no-brainer for our skincare—simple, natural, and incredibly effective. We began crafting tallow-based products for ourselves, our family, and close friends. The results were undeniable, and the feedback was heartwarming. Seeing the incredible benefits firsthand, we felt inspired to share these products with our community.
Emerald City Tallow is more than skincare; it’s a step toward living a cleaner, healthier life, and we’re thrilled to bring you along on this journey.
What’s Up with the Name, Emerald City Tallow & Co.?
The name Emerald City Tallow & Co. holds a special place in the hearts of our founders, Emily and Justin. Lifelong friends turned newlyweds; their journey together inspired the brand in more ways than one.
Some may recognize "Emerald City" as the final destination for Dorothy and her friends in The Wizard of Oz, a film that has always been Emily’s favorite. But the connection runs even deeper. When Justin proposed, he chose a ring with an emerald stone, a heartfelt symbol of their love. The emerald is not just a beautiful gem—it represents the heart chakra, a center of love, compassion, and connection. Its energy is believed to inspire healing, harmony, and unconditional love—values that align with everything we strive to embody as a brand.
At Emerald City Tallow, we believe in intentionality. From the name to the products, every aspect reflects the love and care we pour into this venture. Like the emerald stone itself, our brand radiates warmth and the desire to nurture, creating skincare that brings balance and nourishment to your life.
Emerald City isn’t just a name; it’s a symbol of love, purpose, and the journey to something truly meaningful..
