Mad Hippie Ultra-Rich Barrier Cream — Travel 2 oz, Hyaluronic Acid & Ceramides for Very Dry Skin

Mad Hippie Ultra-Rich Barrier Cream is a travel-sized, deeply moisturizing, non-greasy cream formulated to restore and protect very dry skin using hyaluronic acid, ceramides, vegetable lanolin and antioxidant-rich botanicals.

Designed as an all-over hydrator, this 2 oz tube delivers concentrated, vegan hydration for face and body without synthetic fragrances or harsh additives. The formula combines humectants like hyaluronic acid, barrier-supporting ceramides and vegetable-based lanolin with brightening and antioxidant ingredients such as sodium ascorbyl phosphate (Vitamin C) and niacinamide. It’s intended to soothe flaky, rough areas while improving skin texture and radiance over time.

How does this cream rebuild a dry skin barrier?

The Ultra-Rich Barrier Cream focuses on replenishing both moisture and lipid support to help strengthen the skin’s outer layer. Ceramides and a vegetable-derived lanolin blend mimic natural skin oils to seal hydration, while hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture in the skin.

• Ceramides: restore lipids lost from environmental stress and cleansing.
• Vegetable lanolin blend: forms a protective, non-greasy layer to lock in moisture.
• Hyaluronic acid: binds water to plump and smooth dry areas.

Will this cream brighten dull, dehydrated skin?

Yes — the formulation includes stable Vitamin C (sodium ascorbyl phosphate), niacinamide and antioxidant-rich extracts aimed at evening tone and adding subtle radiance. Those ingredients support a fresher-looking surface when used consistently, without aggressive exfoliation.

• Sodium ascorbyl phosphate: a gentle Vitamin C derivative that helps improve skin glow.
• Niacinamide: targets uneven tone and supports barrier repair.
• Botanical antioxidants like red raspberry: protect against environmental stressors that dull skin.

Can I use this on both face and body, and how much should I apply?

The cream is formulated as a head-to-toe moisturizer for areas prone to extreme dryness — hands, elbows, heels and facial patches. Because it’s ultra-rich, start with a pea-sized amount for the face and a small palmful for dry body zones, adjusting frequency and amount based on how your skin responds.

• Face: pea-sized dab, gently smoothed over dry spots or overnight as needed.
• Hands and elbows: a dime-to-quarter sized amount, applied after washing or before bed.
• Feet and heels: thicker layer or nightly application with socks for intense repair.

Is this product suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula avoids parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrance and uses plant-based extracts to calm irritation, making it compatible with many sensitive skin types. However, because it’s rich and non-comedogenic yet heavier than typical face lotions, people with active acne may prefer a lighter moisturizer for breakout-prone zones.

• Unscented (botanical-sourced aroma): minimizes irritation risk.
• Non-comedogenic: designed not to clog pores, but assess on acne-prone areas first.
• Patch test recommended for highly reactive skin before widespread use.

Who is this for? If you struggle with chronically dry, flaky or rough skin and want a cruelty-free, vegan option that combines intense hydration with barrier-repair and gentle brightening, this travel-friendly 2 oz cream is designed for you. It’s especially useful for seasonal dryness, travel-related dehydration, and targeted repair on hands, elbows, heels or dry facial patches. If you prefer ultra-light textures or are actively treating acne, consider a lighter lotion for daily facial use and reserve this cream for targeted or overnight care.
