Our take
Why We Trust This Brand
Mad Hippie is family-owned by its two founders and, per multiple funding databases, has raised no outside money and has no corporate parent — genuinely independent. The formulas are well-built and free of parabens, phthalates, petroleum, PEGs, SLS, and synthetic fragrance, and it is Leaping Bunny cruelty-free. We score the ingredients an 8 because several products include botanical essential-oil extracts (clary sage, citrus) that can be sensitizing, and it is not third-party EWG-verified.
What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Naturally derived, stable actives — sodium ascorbyl phosphate vitamin C, retinol, AHAs, hyaluronic acid — free of parabens, phthalates, PEGs, SLS, and synthetic perfume. Watch for citrus/clary-sage botanicals in some SKUs, which are potential sensitizers; active-heavy products warrant a patch test.
Certifications
We read every line on this label. Nothing here is on our watch or caution list — no synthetic fragrance, no flagged chemicals.
