Hate wearing sunscreen because of the chalky white cast it leaves on your face? Mad Hippie has you covered with Mad Hippie Facial SPF. It’s a natural, 30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen that uses amazing antioxidant oils to treat skin AND negate that icky chalky sunscreen residue.
Sunscreen is a scientifically proven form of skincare. Certain ingredients – some natural, some chemical – either absorb, reflect, or scatter UV rays. Sunscreen is mandatory for aHA, Vitamin C, and retinol users.
But many natural sunscreens use Zinc Oxide which leaves a chalky white film on skin. Have you ever skipped sunscreen just to avoid that cakey chalk look?
Mad Hippie found a solution to this problem in their Facial SPF. The unique ingredient profile negates that pasty white film with a special combination of treating oils. Let’s take a look at the ingredients that discretely treat and protect your skin.
ingredients
Zinc Oxide
Zinc Oxide is a safe, broad-spectrum physical blocking agent. Zinc Oxide is a safe mineral verses a chemical.
It protects the dermal layer by bouncing rays off the skin.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera treats sunburn, and helps prevent it. Aloe Vera soothes minor burns, scrapes, and heals the skin.
This skin food heals, hydrates, and accelerates skin cell growth. It provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It provides nourishment to the skin as it contains Vitamins A, C, Bs, and E as well as minerals and enzymes.
Wild Carrot
Wild carrot is also known as Queen Anne’s Lace.
High in Vitamin A, wild carrot provides care for rough, dry, flaky skin and protects normal skin. High in antioxidants, it repairs skin damage and wrinkles. [1]
It stimulates the growth of new tissue and new skin, thus promoting a clearer, brighter, evenly toned complexion. By contributing moisture it keeps skin supple.
Regular use on dry and cracked skin can result in the faster healing of scars. It calms irritation and the fades redness in acne marks and scars. Oil from the seed has been used cosmetically in anti-wrinkle creams.
Avocado oil
Avocado is a rich emollient.
Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves skin texture.
Rich in Omegas 3 and 6, Vitamins C, D, and E, Avocado Oil promotes scar healing and collagen production.[2]
Red Raspberry seed Oil

Red Raspberry seed oil contains Vitamin E to reduce skin damage.
Red raspberry seed oil contains Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids to moisturize and lend a healthy glow to the skin.
And an incentive to wear your sunscreen: Red Raspberry Seed Oil saves collagen *and* helps build more collagen.
Shea Butter
Shea Butter treats acne scars, including cystic acne dark scars.
Shea can feed the skin and overhaul the skin texture. It repairs sunburns.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a water-soluble variety of Vitamin C.
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP) is a stable precursor of vitamin C that ensures a constant delivery of vitamin C into the skin. [3]
SAP has a strong antimicrobial effect and is excellent for treating and preventing acne. It is also skin-brightening.
A Vitamin C included in a sunscreen takes a step out of my morning routine, plus ensures my sunscreen doesn’t pill over a C serum.
Jasmine
Jasmine Oil supports skin elasticity by preventing elastin degradation in the skin. It is high in antioxidants.
Sodium Hyaluronate Acid Powder
Sodium HA is a non-synthesized form of Hyaluronic Acid. It has Hyaluronic Acid benefits, is a humectant and offers stronger moisture retention properties than regular HA.
Sodium Hyaluronate Acid absorbs deeper into the skin due to its’ lower molecular size.
Citrus Sinensis
Citrus Sinensis is Sweet Orange Oil.
Sweet Orange Oil is a potent, highly effective anti-inflammatory. It works ideally within a formulation with other oils, such as is in this product.
Sweet Orange Oil gently treats acne.
Tocopheryl
