Why choose Altruist sunscreen?

Every product offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, with a 5-star UVA rating, indicating the highest available in Europe.
Broad-spectrum protection (UVA+UVB)
Our sunscreens contain broad-spectrum UVA & UVB protection, with 5 Star rating, exceeding EU standards.
Suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin
All Altruist sunscreens are hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and free of microplastics.
Sunscreen with a purpose
For every Altruist product sold, 10p worth of sunscreen is donated to children with albinism in Africa, where access to sun protection can be lifesaving. Better skin health, for everyone.

Excellent product exceptional skin protection while providing a great tan.
Delivery super quick , tracked delivery so absolutely no issues at all would use again
Loved this spray so happy to report . Easy to use lasted 10 days in 30 degree heat ! Will def buy again
Great Suncream . Didn’t burn . felt great protection and nice consistency of product not greasy or sticky .
Love the ease of application, its sun protection factor. Handy to keep in my bag for further application during the day. Its lightweight texture is great for my skin. Price good.
Really good easy to apply and use over other moisturisers.
Hands down the best suncream I’ve used to date. Proven that the protection rating on other brands is nowhere near as trustworthy as altruist.
Only negative 🥲: 500ml pump bottle PLEASE!!🙏🏻
Just like all their other products (and I use quite a few…) the moisturiser is excellent - easy to apply, easily absorbed, lots in the tube - will last a while…
Always very helpful and efficient
Excellent for dry skin. Easy to use, non sticky and a very reasonable price
This is the first time I have used the Primer SPF50 and am very pleased with the product.
Really seems to work - dry patches have disappeared.
