Their family literally sold cold-pressed kale juice. Then they put it in a face wash.
The real story isn’t just “superfoods” — it’s that they knew how to keep those greens potent from bottle to skin. A press release would never admit the first batch probably smelled like a sad salad.
A $38 gel cleanser from Youth to the People. I tried it because they claimed it could actually remove makeup without stripping. Bold.
Vegan & Leaping Bunny Certified
No animal anything, which is rare for a cleanser that works this well.
Cold-Pressed Everything
They treat kale like olive oil — preserves the antioxidants.
No Fragrance
Zero scent, which is a relief after all the perfumed “clean” brands.

It’s a juice bar for your sink. Kale, spinach, and green tea aren’t just marketing — they’re the first three ingredients. That means actual antioxidants hitting your face first.
- Kale: Fights free radicals from pollution
- Spinach: Hydrates and soothes
- Green Tea: Calms redness
- Vitamin C: Brightens, gently

It’s a slick, emerald gel that feels expensive. Lathers into a light foam — not that tight, squeaky kind. Washes off in 5 seconds flat.
After two weeks, my skin stopped feeling tight post-cleanse. The surprise? It got my sunscreen off, but my waterproof mascara needed a second pass. Honest.
My morning redness chilled out. Skin felt balanced — not “perfect.” Zero change on blackheads, but I didn’t expect that from a gentle cleanser.
It’s a brilliant, no-BS first step. They turned a family juice legacy into something that doesn’t just sit on a shelf — it works.
