About 25th Mercantile

How we began

 25th Mercantile began with a simple goal: to create skincare using traditional, effective ingredients without unnecessary complexity. 

How we do it

 Working in small batches out of Lancaster, Ohio, each product is crafted with care using tallow, plant oils, and thoughtfully selected additions. 

What we aim for

 Our approach is rooted in simplicity, quality, and respect for time-tested methods. 

Our Ingredients

 

We focus on a small number of ingredients that have been used and trusted for generations.



  • Tallow – closely resembles the skin’s natural oils 
  • Jojoba Oil – lightweight and supportive 
  • Honey – naturally conditioning 
  • Beeswax – helps protect and retain moisture 


Why We Use Magnesium + Vitamin C

We avoid unnecessary fillers and focus on what the skin actually needs.


Our magnesium formulations are designed to support healthy, balanced skin using a gentler approach to vitamin C care.

Instead of harsh or highly acidic forms of vitamin C, we use Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP)—a stable, skin-friendly form that helps brighten and support the skin without the irritation commonly associated with traditional vitamin C products.

Combined with magnesium hydroxide and nourishing tallow-based ingredients, this blend helps support hydration, skin texture, and overall skin appearance while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin types.


 

Key Benefits


Gentle Vitamin C Support


Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a more stable form of vitamin C that helps support brighter, healthier-looking skin without the stinging or sensitivity often associated with traditional vitamin C products.


Supports a Brighter, More Even Appearance


This combination helps support a more balanced-looking complexion and may help improve the appearance of uneven tone and post-blemish discoloration over time.


Helps Maintain Firm, Healthy-Looking Skin


Vitamin C is known for its role in supporting collagen production, helping skin appear smoother, firmer, and more refreshed.


Balanced & Comfortable for Sensitive Skin


Unlike many acidic vitamin C products, this formulation is designed to be gentler on the skin barrier, helping reduce the likelihood of dryness or irritation.


Supports the Skin Barrier


Tallow, magnesium, and supportive lipids work together to help maintain moisture and support the skin’s natural protective barrier.
