Clean beauty is often misunderstood as a compromise. People assume that choosing vegan, non-toxic products means giving up the clinical results of traditional med-spa treatments in exchange for a pleasant-smelling floral water mist.
In reality, the opposite is true. When formulated with high-potency active botanicals, plant stem cells, and cold-pressed nutrients, vegan skincare delivers clinical transformations without overloading your skin barrier with synthetic preservatives, heavy mineral oils, or animal by-products.
Just minutes south of La Jolla, Kiwi Spa specializes in non-invasive, 100% vegan botanical facial treatments. If your skin feels sensitive, congested, or dull, our Hollywood Glow Facial combines European deep cleansing with certified clean botanical serums to restore a luminous, healthy glow with zero animal-derived ingredients or downtime.

The Hollywood Glow Facial at Kiwi Spa
The Hollywood Glow Facial runs 75 minutes: $155 for new clients ($189 regular rate).
This fully vegan treatment is crafted for clients who want clinical refinement without harsh chemical peeling or synthetic fillers:
Botanical Double Cleansing: Clears pollution, sunscreen, and daily debris using plant-based oils and natural saponins.
Gentle Resurfacing: Dissolves dead surface cells using natural fruit enzymes rather than animal-derived enzymes or harsh physical grit.
Follicle Clearing: Gentle manual and ultrasonic extractions clear congested pores while respecting delicate facial capillaries.
Deep Botanical Hydration: Floods the tissue with vegan hyaluronic acid, cold-pressed seed oils, and concentrated antioxidant serums.
European Sculpting Massage: Hands-on structural massage releases tension along the jaw, neck, and shoulders while promoting lymphatic drainage.
Why Choose a 100% Vegan Facial?
Many conventional skincare products contain hidden animal derivatives—such as carmine (crushed beetles for red pigment), tallow (animal fats), or non-vegan collagen and elastin derived from animal cartilage.
Choosing a vegan, clean facial offers distinct advantages for skin health:
Pure Bio-Availability
Plant-based cold-pressed oils—like squalane derived from olives, jojoba, and seed extracts—closely mimic your skin's natural sebum structure. They absorb seamlessly without forming an occlusive, pore-clogging film.
Lower Risk of Inflammatory Reactions
Synthetic dyes, artificial musks, and animal-derived proteins are among the most common triggers for contact dermatitis and allergic flare-ups. Clean, plant-powered formulas nourish sensitive and reactive skin while keeping inflammation at bay.
Ethical, Cruelty-Free Standards
Every formulation used in our facial protocols is 100% cruelty-free and formulated with ethically sourced, sustainable ingredients that respect both your skin and the environment.

What Makes the Kiwi Spa Experience Different
Unlike traditional hotel spas that rely on perfumed commercial lotions or clinical offices that rely on synthetic injectables, Kiwi Spa bridges holistic wellness and modern esthetics.
We blend our fresh botanical masks right at the treatment trolley to ensure enzyme potency. If your skin is sensitive and redness-prone, we lean into soothing chamomile, aloe, and green tea extracts. If your barrier is thirsty and sluggish, we infuse rich plant antioxidants and vegan lipid complexes to lock in plump hydration.
You leave with soft, calmed, dewy skin that feels breathable and clean in natural daylight.
Questions People Ask Us
Are vegan facial treatments suitable for acne-prone skin?
Yes. Many commercial breakouts are exacerbated by synthetic waxes, mineral oils, and harsh chemical fragrances found in conventional products. Our vegan clarifying formulations use natural antibacterial botanicals and light, non-comedogenic oils that clear congestion without clogging pores.
What is the difference between "clean" and "vegan" skincare?
"Vegan" means the product contains zero animal-derived ingredients or by-products. "Clean" means the formula is free from harmful toxins, parabens, sulfates, and synthetic irritants. At Kiwi Spa, we prioritize treatments that are both clean and vegan, ensuring complete peace of mind.
