How we verified Kiss My Face

Most recent check: Oct 16, 2026

  1. From the brand's website

    We re-read kissmyface.com on Sep 25, 2026 and did not find an explicit statement about where its products are made. This page relies on the other evidence below.
  2. Amazon listings

    We read the live Amazon listing for 7 of the 7 Kiss My Face products on this page (most recently Oct 16, 2026). None of them states where the product is made, so these products rely on the brand-level evidence above.

  3. Ongoing monitoring

    Under review. A source reports a possible change we are still confirming:

These checks are run by our software on a schedule: brand websites are re-read about every three weeks, Amazon listings weekly, and news is scanned monthly. Every flag is checked against its original source before anything on this page changes. How the American Score works.

About Kiss My Face

Kiss My Face has manufactured natural personal care products in Gardiner, New York since 1980, pioneering olive oil-based formulations that delivered genuine skin benefits without the synthetic ingredients that dominated the market.

Heritage & History

Bob MacLeod and Steve Byckiewicz founded Kiss My Face in Gardiner, New York in 1980, starting with a bar soap made from olive oil that they called the "Big Green Bar." The olive oil formulation provided measurable moisturizing benefits that synthetic soap bars did not, and the Hudson Valley community embraced the product. Kiss My Face grew from a garage operation in Gardiner into one of the first successful natural personal care brands in America.

Gardiner, in the Hudson Valley, has been the brand's home since founding. The Hudson Valley's tradition of natural health and wellness culture provided both the initial customer base and the brand identity that Kiss My Face has maintained for over four decades. The company is one of the oldest continuously operating natural beauty brands in the United States.

Made in Gardiner, New York

Kiss My Face formulates and manufactures its products in Gardiner, New York using olive oil as the foundational ingredient across bar soaps, shaving creams, and body care. The olive oil base provides documented skin conditioning benefits — oleic acid maintains the moisture barrier, and squalene provides antioxidant protection — that give Kiss My Face products a functional rationale beyond marketing positioning.

The shaving cream formulation, which uses olive oil and aloe vera as primary ingredients, provides a lubricating film that allows razor blades to glide without the synthetic propylene glycol and parabens found in conventional shaving creams. This formulation is useful for people with sensitive skin who find conventional shaving creams irritating.
