When you think about skincare, are you truly taking care of the largest organ on your body from the top of your head, to the bottom of your feet? If not, one of our newest artisans on the platform is answering an often overlooked need with her luxurious line of feet care products. Her vegan, botanical-based products ensure that the health of your feet goes beyond a basic pedicure to moisturized, happy, and healthy feet!BLK+GRN: Why do you do what you do?CHRIS: Hi I’m Chris! I am a Certifed Aromatherapist and the Mastermind behind London's Pedisoaks. I have worn many shoes from military member, avid runner, fashion model to mommy. I would never in a million years think I would have my own handcrafted foot care line, but it embodies all the things I value in my personal skincare products.
BLK+GRN: What was your "Aha Moment" and when did your vision start to manifest? CHRIS: In July 2015, I launched London’s Pedisoaks. The inspiration for the brand began during my pregnancy because I suffered from severe edema. The only way to relieve my swollen feet was through warm foot baths and massage. I combined my love for clean beauty with key recipes designed to soften skin & calluses, smooth rough heels, reduce swelling & pain, address the discomfort of high heels and many more common foot frustrations I personally experience each day.
BLK+GRN: How is your brand green? Why was this important to you?CHRIS: botanical-based, Vegan and Cruelty-free certified, and use reusable packaging. Since the founding products (Soak, Polish and Butter) were created during my pregnancy, it was important that each ingredient was purposeful and good for the feet.
BLK+GRN: What need do you currently see being unmet that you address?CHRIS: We have created a skincare line specifically for the feet. Many of us think of our feet from a pretty pedicure stance. We cater to that need but also the need of just having healthy & happy feet.
“I WANTED TO CREATE A BENEFICIAL FOOT CARE REGIMEN THAT WAS EASY-TO-USE WITH A SPLASH OF PANACHE, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY EFFECTIVE NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN LIFE.” - CHRIS LONEY
