This cleanser started in a California kitchen — not a lab. The founders’ grandma swore by cold-pressed kale and spinach for health, and they wondered what it could do for skin.
The real hook? It’s a 100% vegan, super-concentrated version of that family philosophy. They basically bottled a farmers’ market smoothie for your face.
It’s a gel cleanser, $38 for 8 oz. I was skeptical — “superfood” is a buzzy term. But the “antioxidant blast” claim got me. My city air pollution needs fighting.
Texture
A vibrant, emerald-green gel that feels alive, not synthetic.
Scent
Subtle, fresh-cut greens — not perfume. It smells clean, not “fragranced”.
Packaging
The bottle is heavy, apothecary-style glass. Feels luxe, but a travel nightmare.

It’s not just marketing. The kale, spinach, and green tea are cold-pressed to preserve antioxidants. That means they actually neutralize daily free radicals — from pollution, blue light, all that.
- Kale: Fights environmental stressors
- Spinach: Rich in vitamins C, E, & K
- Green Tea: Calms inflammation
- Alfalfa: A mineral-rich hydrator

It lathers into a light, frothy foam — not that tight, squeaky-clean feel. Rinses completely in 10 seconds. Skin feels balanced, not stripped. A legit refreshing wake-up.
By week two, my morning redness was noticeably calmer. The surprise? It’s not a makeup melter. You need an oil cleanse first if you’re wearing a full face.

My complexion looks clearer, more even-toned. It’s a fantastic second cleanse or AM wash. But it didn’t magically shrink pores or cure dryness — it’s a preventative workhorse.

It’s a beautifully engineered, effective product with a real story. Not a miracle, but a genuinely great daily cleanser that does one thing very well.
