Product Reviews by Experts


A sunscreen that’s toxin free, smells good and applies nicely! What I loved about this sunscreen and what took me by surprise is that it appeared to protect mine and my little girls skin more effectively than some of the SPF 50+ sunscreens we’ve tried! Love it :)! There is so much I respect about how this brand operates- from the moment I received my sunscreen in the mail I could see the businesses effort to minimise waste by using recyclable packaging and a small appropriate postage parcel size. Learning that the bottle itself is made of sugarcane and that the product is made locally is a big plus. I believe one of the greatest ways we can have a positive impact on the planet is to buy local, so I love that The Nude Alchemist are NZ owned, operated and their products are made locally in NZ too!


The sunscreen glides on very easily and I love it has organic ingredients and is cruelty free and reef friendly. The sugarcane packaging is a great alternative and I love that Nude Alchemist are family owned and woman led.


This product is super spreadable and easy to use- that’s important when you’re trying to apply it to wriggling children! I love that 80% of the team are women and that this brand is family-owned. I also am impressed with the use of Sugarcane in the packaging! What a great idea!
