Uneven skin tone sneaks up on you. Discoloration from acne scars and photodamage are almost impossible to conceal. Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist does skin-quenching sprays one better by improving skin tone at the same time. It is packed with antioxidants and leaves skin supple. Plus the Hesperidin protects collagen and fights photo-damage. And it practically sprays the dark age spots off your face.
For the skin obsessed, discoloration is a particularly irritating problem. To fade them often requires some skin irritating actives that leave skin parched. Fortunately, Mad Hippie has a gentle, natural solution.
Why It Is Special
Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist is a delightful mist soothes what ails your skin while improving discoloration. It contains skin goodies like Pomegranate, Gingko Bilboa, Vitamin C, and Hesperidin.
Hesperidin is a skincare workhorse. We don’t know why more products don’t contain this non-irritating, skin-loving, discoloration fixing, a skin-quenching enhancer that really gets stuff done. But we sure are glad Mad Hippie packs it into this mist.
And check out some of the other skin-quenching ingredients:
The Ingredients
Sweet Orange is rich in collagen-protecting Hesperidin
Sweet Orange is high in Hesperidin
Hesperidin
Hesperidin is a plant flavonoid from citrus fruits like sweet orange and lemon. [1] It has been shown to help reduce the appearance of skin discoloration and it inhibits future overproduction of melanin. [2] It is collagen and fibroblast protective and reduces the appearance of sun damage [3]. This antioxidant anti-inflammatory soothes the skin. [4]
Sodium PCA
A natural humectant, Sodium PCA binds moisture to the skin dramatically improving skin hydration.
Milk Thistle
Milk Thistle
Milk thistle is about 80% silymarin.
Silymarin is an antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It protects skin and fights signs of aging due to sun damage. It is used by dermatologists for all kinds of inflammatory skin conditions including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. [5]
Milk thistle also contains fatty acids, including linoleic acid.
Gingko Biloba
Ginkgo Biloba
A natural ingredient from the maidenhair tree.
Ginkgo Biloba increases blood flow to the skin. Better blood flow means more nutrients are available for skin rejuvenation and collagen production.
Ginkgo Biloba contains high amounts of antioxidants to reduce skin redness and discoloration.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is applied topically for targeted skin-rejuvenation. It is an anti-aging, acne reducing, dark pigmentation fading powerhouse. Vitamin C is a building block for collagen, the support structure of the skin. Vitamin C also fades acne scars and improves sun-damaged skin texture.
Vitamin C reduces wrinkles & discoloration. It pairs marvelously with Hesperidin.
Resveratrol rich blueberries
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a polyphenol that functions as an antioxidant. It is found in plant-based foods including blueberries, grapes, mulberries, raspberries and peanuts, and red wine. It is a skincare staple because it reverses aged (senescent) cells to a physically younger, active state. [6]
White Pine Bark
White Pine Bark improves skin hydration and elasticity while decreasing skin fatigue while reducing the appearance of skin discoloration.
Flowering Camellia Sinensis or Green Tea
Green Tea
Green Tea feeds and moisturizes the skin, calms irritation and is an excellent antioxidant. Topical Green Tea application reduce sun damage, decrease collagen breakdown and increase cell regeneration. Green tea contains polyphenols that may improve sun-damaged skin. [7]
High in Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), green tea is a major player in skin health and appearance. It protects against environmental damage and neutralizes free radicals that prematurely age skin. Research shows EGCG reactivates dying skin cells. This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing. [8]
Sodium Hyaluronate
Sodium HA is a non-synthesized form of Hyaluronic Acid. It has Hyaluronic Acid benefits, is a humectant and offers stronger moisture retention properties than regular HA. It is found naturally and ample supply in young skin, but depletes with age. It moisturizes the skin while reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Sodium Hyaluronate Acid has a lower molecular size compared to other Hyaluronic Acids. This is beneficial because it can absorb deeper into the skin.
Pomegranate Seed Extract
Pomegranate
Pomegranate Seed Extract is a safe, natural pomegranate based skincare ingredient.Those juicy, jewel-like seeds are arils. Arils are packed with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins A, C, K, and E plus folic and ellagic acids.
Pomegranates contain three times the antioxidants of wine or green tea. [9] Pomegranate Seed Extract increases skin barrier formation and improves skin hydration. Meanwhile, it delivers impressive collagen-building results.
