See what's inside

A plant-derived lanolin alternative designed to mimic lanolin’s moisture-sealing performance — without animal-derived ingredients. Helps form a protective barrier that locks in moisture and shields skin from cold, wind, and over-washing.

(Shea Butter · Cupuaçu Butter · Cocoa Butter · Squalane · Olive Unsaponifiables) Rich, skin-compatible lipids that soften rough skin, improve comfort, and reinforce the skin barrier — especially when skin feels dry, tight, or compromised.

(Niacinamide · Vitamin C [Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate] · Gigawhite) A gentle blend of cutting-edge actives that support the skin barrier and help promote a more even-looking tone over time.

(Glycerin · Hyaluronic Acid · Polyglutamic Acid) Humectants that bind water at the skin’s surface and support lasting hydration when sealed in by rich emollients.

(Prickly Pear · Calendula · Chamomile · Raspberry Seed · Turmeric · Amla) Botanical extracts that help soothe stressed skin and provide antioxidant support during periods of dryness or irritation.

My face loves this

I read this product might get discontinued a while ago and I was so sad. Ive been using it on my face skin-care and my face loves it. It gives a matte finish and doesn't have a slodgy feel to it, and its a type of moisturizer ive been looking for for awhile that doesn't get greasy and I can use with serums with out making a mess. Im someone with large pores and this is something that really works for me without breaking outs or irritation. Im glad its still available, phew

Best face cream I’ve ever used

Best face cream I’ve ever used. So hydrating, feels good on the skin, and can actually see a difference. Wish I would’ve started using this a long time ago

Relieved inflammatory sensitivity and dryness

Best moisturizer I have used. My skin leans toward excessive dryness and sensitivity. Tried more than several natural products but this is the only one that I used and saw a significant decrease in inflammation breakouts.

Rich, non greasy Barrier Cream

Started with a sample and then bought the 2oz bottle. This cream is rich, non greasy, non-shiny, and works well to moisturize skin, especially overnight. Love this brand's philosophy around ingredients, and the packaging design looks great on my nightstand, pricing is reasonable. Only issue is that the non-fragrance fragrance is a little, yeasty/bready. Possibly from the niacinamide? I'm not sure, i detect it in their Face Cream too. For that reason i'm using it as body cream rather than face. Otherwise i find it to be a solid purchase!

I'm very much enjoying the ultra rich barrier cream. It's hydrating and leaves my very sensitive, fragile skin feeling soft but not greasy.

This cream far exceeds any other barrier cream

This cream far exceeds any other barrier cream out there. I use tretinoin and active-ingredient serums at night to battle aging even though my skin is extremely dry. I end my evening routine with this cream and wake up soft and hydrated. Please NEVER discontinue this product!

Amazingly healing for rough, dry, torn cuticles. The best!!

Only cream or lotion that soothes and repairs my extremely dry rough torn cuticles. I am so glad I randomly gave this a try when browsing in Whole Foods. I’m on my fourth tube in a few months. It’s a godsend. It’s not greasy, unscented, rich, and seriously healing. I now can’t live without it!

Wow! it works!

this thick hydrating cream is so much better than I thought or hoped it would be. I'm usually disappointed with claims made by skin lotions and creams, but this one works! it is thick and creamy, yet absorbs quickly into my older, dry skin. I use it on my hands and arms, but if I use it on my dry legs, it would be gone in no time, so ... I need it in an 8 oz tub!!

Mad Hippie ultra rich barrier cream

Just started using my first Mad Hippie product and I am really impressed. I've always used really expensive medical grade facial products for years but after retiring needed something a bit less expensive. I received a sample of this cream with some of the vitamin C (which is great by the way)..I never waste a sample but when I squeezed it our it was so thick I thought maybe it was old or something. What the heck, but it on at night anyway and woke up with seriously soft facial skin. I have really really dry skin btw. After 2 or 3 weeks I'm trading my $185. cream for this $17.99 wonder. It is the best cream I've ever tried and for me it works wonders for my face. (very mature and dry skin)..

BEST HAND CREAM!!!

I am always looking for a lotion or cream for my dry skin, especially my hands in the winter. I am constantlywashing my hands so I use lotion many times a day. This MadHippee skin barrier cream is magic! it works!!! After not using it for a week, my hands were red, sore and nothing was making them feel better until I remembered this cream, and WOW, they instantly feel so much better!!

Incredible

I love all Mad Hippie products and have used them for years with beautiful results. I have been experiencing severe dry skin and I desperately did a search for a very emollient affordable yet clean ingredient face cream. The barrier cream popped up in my search. I had no idea about this new product. It was exactly what I needed. Ingredients, price, and a reliable company. Went out and bought this the same day. It is literally incredible! Texture, price, and ingredients. My skin feels like complete quenched silk. Thank you so much for offering something so amazing!!

Hydrating!!

I've been using mad hippie products for several years and was very excited when they came out with this product. It lives up to its name. I have thyroid disease which causes my skin to be very dry. This hydrating cream did not disappoint. Other hydrating creams I have tried tend to be greasy but this one is not. I will continue to use. Thanks Mad Hippie

So good for dry hands!!

Not for general face use...

I hoped to use this as a daily moisturizer on my face - I have quite dry skin - but it was too much. I am almost positive that, paired with my hydrating SPF, the formula caused breakouts I would not normally have gotten. It's nice and thick and I can use well for other parts of my body. Maybe will try if I get specific dry patches on my face also. But this is more than I'd want to pay for a product I can't use for my daily facial care.

Hi Kirsten, Thanks for your review. This product is not designed to be a facial product, but is instead for severely dry, flaky skin anywhere on the body. It could be used short term for dry patches on the face, but we would not recommend it as a facial moisturizer. We recommend our Triple C Night Cream as a facial product for those with dry skin. We're happy to send you one to try :)

Great

What a great moisturizing lotion. Good for face and body. Good to use multiple times a day so skin stays moisturized. Definitely a great product to continue using daily. Skin feels so smooth. Clean ingredients too. Gifted by madhippie

SOOOO GOOD

The weather has been alternating from literally freezing to 60s+ then freezing again with 60s again in a week. Sometimes my hands freak out and get super dry and sometimes the fingertips will split. It hurts. THIS is the product I have always needed. Thank you, MH, for creating this. This is also highly beneficial for my very calloused dancer feet. It is like an elixir for them, softening them with each moment! It is great for cuticles too. Despite being substantial and rather thick, it absorbs shockingly quickly and easily. I’ll repurchase this over & over forever.
