Suffice it to say, Mad Hippie is a brand that delivers on its intent to create products that are not only clean and green, but effective as well!
Also, how cool is their name?! Just saying…
I have been using their “Antioxidant Face Oil” for weeks now and today I’m going to spill why I am simply “mad” for this product! 😉
First of all, let’s take a look at what ingredients are involved in this oil (info from Mad Hippie’s website):
Argan Oil – Providing instant, non-comedogenic hydration to the skin while naturally occurring triterpenoids work to reduce the appearance of scars & inflammation. Containing over 80% essential fatty acids, as well as naturally occurring vitamin E, this exotic oil works to moisturize & revitalize the skin.
Sea Buckthorn Berry – This berry native to the Tibetan Himalayas, is rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K, P, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenols, folic acid & fatty acids. In fact, the buckthorn berry is the only plant in the world to contain omega 3, 6, 7 & 9 all together.
Blueberry Extract – This super fruit is rich in antioxidants including vitamins A & C that help protect the skin by neutralizing aging free radicals. Blueberries have been shown to reduce the rigidity of capillary walls underneath the skin and are believed to promote circulation & aid in the reduction of redness & flushing.
Pomegranate Oil – a potent antioxidant that is a high source of ellagic acid, a polyphenol that has been shown in studies to help inhibit the growth of skin cancer. Believed to also mediate the effects of ultraviolet rays & skin discoloration.
Camu Camu Berry – Amazonian berry with 30x the vitamin C of an orange.
Broccoli Extract – A recent study at John Hopkins found that broccoli extract applied topically reduced UV-induced redness & inflammation by an average of 37%. This is thought to be a result of the sulforaphane found in broccoli.
Raspberry Seed Extract – High in antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin A, and omega fatty acids 3 & 6, raspberry seed extract is also known for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic qualities. High in ellagic acid, a natural polyphenol, raspberry seed extract helps neutralize aging free radicals and reduce the effects of photoaging.
Strawberry Extract – Another antioxidant-rich berry, Strawberry extract has been shown to have UV protective effects on the skin.
Goji Berry – Containing 18 vital amino acids, zinc, selenium, phosphorus, and vitamins B1, B2, B6, C & E, goji berries provide the skin with essential nutrients and antioxidants. In fact, the superfruit contains more beta carotene than carrots, and even more iron than spinach.
Hemp Seed Extract – Rich in omegas 3, 6 & 9, as well as antioxidants, hemp seed oil, provides the skin with instant moisturizing and protective benefits.
Grape Seed Extract – One of nature’s most potent antioxidants, shown to inhibit UV-generated skin damage and neutralize aging free radicals.
Sunflower Seed Oil – Rich in vitamins A, D & E, as well as essential fatty acids, sunflower seed oil has natural moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effects on the skin.
Why I love this – I’m a sucker for a good face oil, and this one has definitely exceeded all my expectations. With an ingredients list that will make any ingredient nerd squeal with joy and a delicious fruity scent, this Anti-Oxidant Face Oil delivers deep nourishment to the skin, without feeling heavy or greasy.
A few drops applied to damp skin, and this lightweight oil absorbs quickly, leaving behind a healthy and dewy glow. I’ve been using this day and night and my sensitive, acne-prone skin is in love! My skin looks brighter, less red, and more plumped up! Definitely, a cause for me to do my happy dance!
