The Smooch Story.

The Kiss Company was founded by a cancer survivor. During her treatment for Leukemia, Kathleen O’Neil worried about a lot of things. One of her stressors was the thought of losing her hair. She always enjoyed pampering herself with spa treatments, manicures, pedicures and hair appointments. Too many uncomfortable days and nights were spent wishing she could enjoy some of those life’s simple pleasures. This is how The Kiss Company came to be.

Kathleen wanted to deliver simple, yet impactful experiences to those fighting the ultimate battle. She believed that by paying it forward, and celebrating everyone’s ability to live their best life, cancer patients—like herself—could feel some semblance of normal. Even if just for an hour.
