Altruist creates dermatologist-developed sunscreens specifically for sensitive skin. Their formulas are fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, avoiding common irritants like alcohol and harsh filters. Instead, they use gentle, broad-spectrum UV protection with soothing ingredients such as vitamin E and glycerine to strengthen the skin barrier and provide long-lasting hydration. The products absorb quickly, work well under makeup and are suitable for daily, year-round use. Designed for conditions like eczema, rosacea and acne-prone skin, Altruist sunscreens protect, calm and support healthier, more resilient skin.

Why Autumn is the Perfect Time to Switch to Hybrid Moisturiser + SPF Products
Autumn Skincare Made Simple: Why Hybrid Moisturiser + SPF is Essential
As autumn’s cooler air and lower humidity set in, skin often shifts from dewy to dry and sensitive. While sunburn-causing UVB rays decrease, UVA rays—the main culprits behind aging and long-term damage—remain strong year-round. That’s why sunscreen is still a daily must, even on cloudy days.
Hybrid moisturiser + SPF products offer the perfect seasonal solution: they hydrate and protect in one step, simplify routines, and provide balanced moisture without heaviness. Paired with gentle cleansing, a serum boost, and richer evening care, they form the backbone of an effective autumn skincare ritual.
