What Triple C Night Cream is made of, ingredients and materials
Triple C Night Cream is a water-glycerin emulsion base typical of modern moisturizers, combining hydrating humectants (glycerin) with botanical extracts and emollients that soften and condition skin. The formula does not disclose Teflon-type coating nonstick coatings, silicone oils, or synthetic fragrances as primary ingredients based on available product information. Water and glycerin are chemically inert and pose no systemic toxicity concern at cosmetic use levels. The botanical extract blend is the variable; Mad Hippie sources these but does not publicly detail heavy metal screening or pesticide residue testing.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Fragrance allergen content (botanical extracts)
Mad Hippie does not disclose specific essential oils or botanical fragrance compounds in Triple C Night Cream; botanical blends can contain limonene, linalool, and eugenol, common contact allergens. No safety data sheet or allergen list is publicly available.
Microbial growth in water-based formulations
Water-based creams rely on preservative systems to prevent bacterial and fungal growth; Mad Hippie's preservative approach is not detailed, and natural/botanical brands sometimes use lower synthetic preservative concentrations, which can reduce shelf-life safety if product integrity is compromised.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Lead
No documented heavy metal contamination has been reported in Mad Hippie products; however, the brand does not publish independent third-party test results for botanical sourcing or ingredient screening, making residual contamination status unverified.
Source, ATSDR ↗Formaldehyde / VOCs
No formaldehyde releasers (imidazolidinyl urea, dmdm hydantoin) are listed or known to be in Triple C Night Cream; botanical and clean-beauty positioning makes this class unlikely, but full preservative chemistry is not disclosed.
Source, ATSDR ↗1,4-dioxane (manufacturing contaminant in ethoxylated ingredients)
No ethoxylated surfactants or suspected 1,4-dioxane precursors are identified in Triple C's ingredient profile; botanical emollient formulations typically avoid this risk, though undisclosed processing contaminants cannot be ruled out without testing.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Mad Hippie is a natural/organic skincare brand that emphasizes botanical and antioxidant positioning but does not publish independent third-party safety testing or heavy metal/microbial assay data for individual products. The brand maintains no public recall history for Triple C Night Cream and does not market hypoallergenic or dermatologist-tested claims, which limits liability but also indicates limited clinical vetting. No controversies or regulatory actions are on record for Mad Hippie as of available public sources. Transparency on fragrance allergen content and botanical sourcing standards is absent from marketing materials.
How it compares in its category
Night creams in this botanical-heavy segment typically share similar water-glycerin-plant extract profiles; Triple C is mid-market in ingredient transparency compared to certified organic or clinical-grade moisturizers from brands like Herbivore or Drunk Elephant, which conduct heavier disclosure and testing. Mass-market drugstore night creams (Olay, Cetaphil) are more likely to include synthetic fragrance and preservative combinations, whereas Mad Hippie leans natural but without third-party verification. The formulation sits between unvetted indie brands and dermatology-backed lines in terms of safety documentation.
If you buy it
Store Triple C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent oxidative breakdown of botanical antioxidants; do not expose to extreme heat or freezing, which can destabilize the emulsion. Patch-test on a small area first, particularly if you have sensitive skin or fragrance allergies, since botanical extracts can trigger contact dermatitis in some users. Discard the product if you notice separation, discoloration, or off-odors, which signal microbial growth or ingredient degradation. Use within 6-12 months of opening; do not share applicators or introduce contaminated tools, as water-based creams without aggressive preservative systems can support bacterial growth if compromised.
