Mad Hippie Daily Protective SPF 30+ Serum — Mineral Zinc Oxide Sunscreen, 1.02 oz, Lightweight Hydrating Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Ac

Mad Hippie Daily Protective SPF 30+ Serum is a lightweight, mineral face sunscreen that hydrates with hyaluronic acid and shields skin using non-nano zinc oxide.

This travel-friendly 1.02 oz facial serum blends sun protection and skin-reviving actives into one step of your routine. Formulated with broad-spectrum zinc oxide, antioxidants like vitamin C and resveratrol, and humectants such as hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA, it aims to keep skin feeling plump and looking fresh while providing water-resistant protection for everyday use.

How does this serum protect skin while staying lightweight?

The formula uses non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral ingredient that sits on the skin’s surface to reflect UVA/UVB rays rather than absorbing them. Because the product is a serum base rather than a heavy cream, it spreads easily, layers well under makeup, and minimizes a greasy finish.

• Broad-spectrum mineral SPF 30+ with non-nano zinc oxide
• Light, fast-absorbing serum texture that reduces buildup under cosmetics
• Water-resistant formula for up to 80 minutes

What skin benefits do the active ingredients provide?

Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and resveratrol help neutralize environmental stressors while humectants restore surface hydration. Buriti oil and sodium PCA add nourishing fatty acids and moisture retention to support a dewy, plumped appearance.

• Vitamin C and E plus resveratrol to support skin’s antioxidant defenses
• Hyaluronic acid and sodium PCA to attract and hold moisture
• Buriti oil delivers emollient fatty acids and a smooth finish

Is this product safe for sensitive or reef-conscious users?

Mad Hippie’s formula avoids chemical UV filters and common irritants, using a non-chemical mineral blocker instead. The brand also positions this sunscreen as reef-safe, and it is free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, and PEGs, making it a cleaner option for many who prioritize gentler ingredients.

• Non-nano zinc oxide—no chemical UV absorbers
• Free of parabens, sulfates, silicones, and PEGs
• Vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated with sustainability in mind

How should I use the Daily Protective Serum in my routine?

Apply this serum as the last step of your morning skincare before makeup, spreading evenly across face and neck until blended. Reapply every two hours when exposed to sunlight, and after swimming or excessive sweating to maintain the stated water resistance.

• Use daily in the morning as final skincare step
• Reapply every 80 minutes of water exposure or every two hours outdoors
• Works under makeup; allow a few moments to set before applying cosmetics

Who is this for: This serum is designed for anyone seeking a multi-tasking daily sunscreen that also hydrates and delivers antioxidant support. It suits travel and on-the-go routines, people who prefer mineral blockers over chemical sunscreens, and those looking for a lightweight, non-greasy option that layers well with makeup and other skincare products.
