Mad Hippie’s first storefront is set to open in Austin on May 28, bringing a range of skincare products from its digital platform straight to customers, according to a news release.
“This has always been an Austin brand, so opening our first store here felt like a natural next step,” Sam Stewart, Mad Hippie’s co-founder, said in a news release. “We wanted to create something that goes beyond traditional retail—a space where people can slow down, take a deep breath, and connect with both the products and the community around them.”
What they offer
The skincare brand sells a range of products including the Antioxidant Facial Oil, Vitamin C Serum, Luminizing Facial SPF, and a range of creams and cleansers.
In addition to Mad Hippie products, the store will also stock a selection of products from local and small businesses, including ceramics, silk loungewear, Moroccan slippers and textiles.
The 3,600-square-foot space will be rooted in nature, with a 300-year-old live oak tree, lounge areas, a vinyl turntable and tea service. The store will also have a facial bar for customers to test products and estheticians and staff to offer help with applications.
The background
Mad Hippie was founded by husband-and-wife Dana and Sam Stewart in 2009. The brand was created to bring effective skincare products to customers without harmful ingredients, the news release details.
One more thing
The new location will also host community events such as skincare workshops, panels, outdoor yoga, flower markets and more.
