FAQ:

What is non-nano zinc oxide?
Zinc oxide is a mineral and the active ingredient in many mineral sunscreens. It sits on top of your skin (rather than soaking in, like chemical sunscreens do) and scatters, absorbs, and reflects the sun’s rays to protect you. Non-nano essentially means that the particles are too large to pass through the skin. The concern with super-small nanoparticles is that they can find their way into your body by penetrating your skin and getting into your bloodstream. And while a nanoparticle will enter your bloodstream, a non-nano particle won’t.

Does this product contain oxybenzone?
Our new suncare line is completely free of chemical-blocking agents, parabens, sulfates, silicone, and PEGs!

Is this product reef-safe?
Yes! Our full suncare line is reef-safe, vegan, and cruelty-free!

Is this waterproof?
Our new suncare line is 80-minute water resistant.

What’s the difference between the Daily Protective Serum and Hydrating Facial SPF 25?
The Daily Protective Serum SPF 30+ is a super lightweight, creamy serum that applies flawlessly delivering nutrient-rich antioxidants and providing long-lasting protection. The Hydrating Facial SPF 25+ is a rich and hydrating cream that massages beautifully into the skin. Both provide up to 80 minutes of water resistance and are fully vegan. They are both great daily SPF options but have different feels to suit different tastes and do not need to be layered.

Does this offer blue light protection?
Our sunscreens are a great option for all-around protection from damaging UVA/UVB rays! Zinc oxide sits on top of your skin (rather than soaking in, like chemical sunscreens do) and scatters, absorbs, and reflects the sun’s rays - including blue light - to protect you.

What step should this be applied in my skincare routine?
All of our sunscreens are physical-blocking sunscreens meaning that they should be the last step in a morning skincare routine.

Our formulas are created with the highest standards in mind - utilizing clean & safe ingredients to ensure beautiful, healthy skin.

The best facial sunscreen!

I absolutely love this sunscreen! I've been using it for years now and I've got my entire family hooked on it too now! Every other facial sunscreen I've ever used ends up stinging my eyes throughout the day even though I completely avoid my eye area. My skin gets oily throughout the day and I work in fairly hot conditions so I tend to sweat a lot on my face and this sunscreen has never once stung my eyes or given me any other issues. Even my dad uses it and he's a mailman that's constantly exposed to intense heat where we live and he has no complaints with it either! It sits well on top of my moisturizer and under my makeup and never pills off. And it makes my skin look healthy, hydrated, and glowy. I cannot recommend it enough!

The Very Best

In decades of searching for a facial sunscreen that's lightweight and non-greasy, I have never found one as good as Mad Hippie Hydrating Facial SPF. Other brands promise but fail to deliver. I actually needed to wear powder foundation on my face just to keep my sunscreen in place! Not anymore. I am free from all that. All I have to do is wash my face, dab on a little aloe vera, and spread this deliciously textured mousse onto my face, and I am ready to take on the sunniest day with confidence. It soaks right in and becomes an invisible shield. Shazam!

The best sunscreen I've found

I tell everyone about this sunscreen because I love it so much. It's the perfect consistency for my skin, and does a great job protecting it.

Just right!

Not greasy. No white film. VERY hydrating. Absorbs like a dream. Yet somehow, its kinda Matt and firming. Try to find that out there in the abyss of skin care!

Sunscreen

This sunscreen is fantastic! I had the prior formula and my skin loved it, so much better than the high priced one I was using from Sephora. I was worried about the new formulation, but it's wonderful, my skin has gone back to normal in the week that I've been using it again! I find it's very easy to blend in and doesn't leave a white cast (my skin tone is fair).
