Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Zinc Oxide is a mineral broad-spectrum UV filter; it is the broadest UVA and UVB reflector approved by the FDA. While it is most commonly man-made for cosmetics, it can naturally occur in zincite, a rare mineral.
Today, traditional and nano-sized zinc oxide can be found in beauty products. Nano-sized zinc oxide can enhance a product's UV protection. While it is not believed to have a negative effect on skin, nano-zinc oxide may be harmful to coral reefs - though the verdict is not entirely out on this one.
Zinc Oxide also has antibacterial and calming properties. It is not water soluble.
Zinc has been used throughout history as an ingredient in paint and medicine. An Indian text from 500BC is believed to list zinc oxide as a salve for open wound. The Ancient Greek physician Dioscorides has also mentioned the use of zinc as an ointment in 1AD.

Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.
Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

I love love love this tinted sunscreen serum! 4 stars only because it isn't oil free or fungal acne safe :/ I still like using it though. It's a serum so it's more watery than you might expect, and it smells fruity! The tint gives me light coverage. Careful layering it on top of other products, or it may pill. Also careful traveling with it - the pump doesn't lock and it has exploded all over my Show more
My skin generally gets along well with Mad Hippie products but this sunscreen did not work for me. I used it twice and discovered that it had severely irritated my skin throughout the day when I washed it off in the evening.
After the first time, my face looked like it had been sunburned so I chalked it up to just forgetting to reapply when I was outside.
The second time it happened, I was Show more
