Product Reviews by Experts


This skin tint gives a healthy, hydrating sheen to the skin without looking oily. SPF protection, skin tint and packed with peptides and extracts that protect from daily environmental stressors – what’s not to love! I’m also really impressed by the 3 shades available and found the tint to adapt well to my skin tone without looking uneven or muddy. This is a daily winner for me – wear alone for no makeup days or as a base for your makeup. All skin types will love this daily essential. Beyond Aleph’s impressive product and sustainability certifications I’m so happy to see the commitment to their internal team’s health and wellbeing, while extending voluntary time and resources to support the communities around them. Taking the time to assist unemployed and underemployed women achieve economic independence is really admirable.


This skin tint has become my daily go-to that you can use on its own or under makeup! It applies so effortlessly, gives a sheer, natural-looking coverage, and leaves my skin with a healthy, dewy glow. I love that it combines sun protection with a nourishing feel, while still being lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wash off at the end of the day. It’s fantastic to see a brand that backs beautiful products with meaningful action. Aleph Beauty’s B Corp certification, packaging take-back program and support for community and environmental initiatives make them a brand I really want to get behind.


This has become one of my favourite ways to incorporate daily sun protection during the cooler months. The Medium/Dark shade blends seamlessly with my skin tone, adding a hint of warmth and evening out my complexion without looking or feeling like makeup. I love the natural, skin-like finish – there’s no chalkiness, heaviness or white cast, just healthy-looking skin with a subtle glow. Unlike many SPF products I’ve tried, it feels comfortable and hydrating throughout the day and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry. From ingredients to packaging to community, this feels like a brand doing the work. I particularly appreciate Aleph’s commitment to refill and packaging return programs, alongside meaningful support for environmental and social initiatives that create positive impact within their community.
