Altruist Family Sunspray SPF50 Named Best Overall Sunscreen for Kids by The Independent

We’re thrilled to announce that Altruist Family Sunspray SPF50 has been crowned “Best overall sunscreen for kids” by The Independent in their 2026 roundup of top children’s sunscreens. 🏆⭐️ The Independent tested around 30 children’s sunscreens and chose our Family Sunspray as their standout pick — a huge recognition of both performance and value.

According to The Independent, “it offers great value for money, the non-slip trigger spray makes application easy, and the light texture absorbs quickly — perfect even for impatient toddlers.” They singled out its high UVA and UVB protection, broad application coverage, and fuss-free feel, describing it as “one of those rare products that truly ticks every box.”

🌟 Why It’s a Winner

Altruist Family Sunspray SPF50 was created with families in mind by dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon Dr Andrew Birnie and delivers:

  • Broad-spectrum SPF50 protection with a five-star UVA rating — shielding from both UVB and deeper UVA rays.

  • A gentle, fast-absorbing, non-sticky formula that feels like a moisturiser.

  • Easy application thanks to the ergonomic trigger spray — ideal for children and adults alike.

  • Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free and water-resistant — safe for all skin types, including little ones aged 6 + months.

  • Reef-friendly formulation for beach days without compromise.

💡 A Family Favourite

Priced affordably and designed for everyday use, this sunscreen has become a go-to choice for parents and caregivers seeking reliable protection without the usual stickiness or white residue — a balance that The Independent reviewers especially praised.

We’re incredibly proud that our Family Sunspray SPF50 has earned this accolade — a testament to years of dedication to safe, effective sun care you can trust. ☀️💛
