Good question! We believe one of the greatest things we can do for our physical and mental health is to move our bodies, so our mission is to inspire people to live more of their life on foot. First and foremost, that means cleaner, kinder, better-working products to care for the very things that make movement possible - our feet! We’ll also be sponsoring marathons, triathlons, spartan races and charity walks, and publishing city walking tours and national park hiking guides, all to inspire more time outdoors.

Our founders are Matt and Kristen - outdoor enthusiasts who share a healthy fascination with feet. They started Pedestrian Project to inspire people to care more about (and for) theirs. They envision a world with fewer car rides and longer walks, more time in nature, and communities coming together on foot to improve the planet step by step.

We think it’s incredibly important. Here’s where we stand today, but we’re continuously looking for ways to do more.

All of our topical products are recyclable - our tubes are plastic #2, our jars and sticks are plastic #5 and our cartons are 20 PAP. Wherever possible, we make our packaging with post consumer recycled content. Our tubes and sticks contain 30% PCR, jars contain 50%, and our insoles use sustainably harvested cork. In addition, we’ve partnered with the Plastic Bank, an organization that will collect two ounces of plastic for every one we put out into the world, so we’ll be net plastic negative.

We develop and manufacture our topical products (balms, lotions, salts) with our lab partners in California and New Mexico. Our insoles are designed in the US and made in China.

At this time, Pedestrian Project is sold exclusively through our website and on Amazon. We’ll let you know when we plan to expand!

With 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and over 100,000 sweat glands, our feet are remarkably complex and unlike any other part of our anatomy. Our topical products were designed with our feet’s unique and challenging physiology in mind. They are more hydrating, deeply penetrating, longer lasting, and more healing than products typically made for the body or face. 

Yes! Our products are safe for any part of the body that needs more therapeutic care. Our Walker’s cream and Cracked Heel Repair are great for the legs and hands, which tend to lose moisture more rapidly. Our Relief Balm is a cult favorite for knees, hips, elbows and shoulders, and our Foot Soak is healing for the entire body.

Our formulations were designed to absorb quickly into the skin, but covering your feet after application is a great way to speed penetration and prevent moisture wicking, especially in dry climates.

All of our products are 100% Vegan and Cruelty free, made without Parabens, Phthalates, PEG, Dyes, GMO, Silicones, Petrolatum and Synthetic Fragrances, as well as thousands of other chemicals we wouldn’t want on our bodies or yours.

Our fragrance is 100% natural and features a proprietary blend of plant and herbal oils, known for their healing properties, including Lemon Peel, Bergamot, Juniper and Ginger, among others.

Our products undergo stability testing, to ensure that the formulations are stable, even in extreme conditions. We conduct clinical allergen tests to assess the likelihood of a skin reaction, and antimicrobial testing to confirm that the product will be safe in use.
