Product Reviews by Experts


This skin tint delivers everyday radiance with ease. It blends seamlessly into the skin, offering light to medium coverage with a dewy, fresh finish that feels breathable and wearable. The mineral SPF 20 adds gentle protection and I really like the inclusion of ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. The glass packaging and minimalist design add an elevated touch. I really respect Aleph’s B-Corp certification and commitment to a wide range of social causes- from Dress for Success to environmental restoration in New Zealand. Their formulations are vegan, silicone-free and microplastic-free, with a strong clean ingredient promise. They’ve also pledged 1% for the Planet, showing a clear intention to give back.


What I love about this SPF serum is how wearable it is. The “medium/dark” shade blends perfectly with my skin tone and acts like a tinted primer- there’s no chalkiness or white cast, just a soft, natural finish! The lower SPF level makes it ideal for winter when I still want protection but don’t need a heavy-duty sunscreen. It doesn’t dry my skin out, which is a common issue I have with other SPF products at this time of year. From ingredients to packaging to community, this feels like a brand doing the work. I appreciate that the ingredients are all plant-based, vegan and microplastic-free. The re-Aleph packaging return program is a standout- it feels good knowing my bottle can be reused, not just recycled. I also love seeing support for local initiatives like Dress for Success and Conservation Volunteers NZ. There’s a strong sense of responsibility across both product and purpose.


This is a great “no-makeup” product. It’s sheer enough that you can see some of your skin through while also evening out the skin tone and giving a healthy glow. I really love their commitment to clean, microplastic-free formulations, B-Corp certification and the re-Aleph program. I also really appreciate how their sustainability efforts extend into community and environmental engagement, from tree planting to supporting women through Dress for Success.
