Kiss My Face is no newcomer to the green marketplace. KISS was founded by Bob Macleod and Steve Byckiewicz over 35 years ago ... on a 200 acre farm in New York’s beautiful Hudson River Valley. It was the dawn of the 1980’s, one night in front of a crackling fire, a light goes off and the two modestly decide to revolutionize the cosmetic industry. Lofty plans with loads of creativity and style are created. The Kiss My Face body care company is born, starting with some big, ugly, green, 86% olive bars of soap from Greece. But there is absolutely no money…the stage is set for a business disaster. The boys load the soap and some organic squash from their garden into their aging VW and head to NYC, retailers offer overwhelming support, think the olive soaps are beautiful, buy the squash and even buy them lunch occasionally. The boys are smiling. They were pioneers in the natural space, trailblazing a path for others to follow. Fast forward to today, there are hundreds, instead of a handful, of brands in the natural space. However, Kiss My Face has become a respected leader in natural body care with over 100 effective bath and body products sold in over 19 countries worldwide. We’ve gotcha covered from head to toe … with a few stops in between. WATCH THE BOB & STEVE VIDEO INTERVIEWS HERE.

Over the years, we have found many of the issues we confront as we try to live up to our mission and values do not easily lend themselves to a “sound bite.” Some of the issues are complex. We intend to add to this page over time. If we change our point-of-view on one of these issues or an ingredient, we intend to post our revised commitments here.
