This cleanser started as a juice recipe. Seriously.
The founders grew up watching their grandma cold-press kale and spinach for health — they just put it on your face instead. The whole Youth to the People brand is built on that family fridge.
A $38 gel cleanser that promises to “feed” your skin. I tried it because “superfood” felt less intimidating than a lab-chemical name.
Cold-Pressed Everything
They treat kale like olive oil — no heat to kill the good stuff.
100% Vegan & Recyclable
The bottle is post-consumer plastic — feels less guilty.
No Fragrance, Actually
Zero scent, which is rare for a “green” product.

It’s a short, food-grade list. Kale, spinach, and green tea aren’t just marketing fluff here — they’re the first ingredients after water.
- Kale: packed with vitamins C, E & K
- Spinach: a hydrating antioxidant
- Green Tea: fights environmental stressors
- Alfalfa: has minerals like iron & magnesium

It’s a slick, emerald gel — lathers into a light, almost creamy foam. Not stripping. Washes off clean in 15 seconds.
My skin felt balanced, not squeaky. The surprise? It removed my light makeup (tinted moisturizer, mascara) without a double cleanse. A solid one-and-done.

My congestion cleared up. No miracle glow, but my skin looked calm and even — no midday oil slick.
It’s a great, no-BS daily cleanser. Not life-changing, but reliably good — which is often better.
