Dermatologist’s advice
Benefits
Ingredients (INCI)
Good to know
Two kinds of UV. One tube.
SPF only measures protection against UVB. That’s why you need a broad-spectrum sunscreen: one with both a high SPF (UVB) and a high PPD (UVA).
B for Burning
Causes sunburn, varies with season and location, and increases the risk of skin cancer. Expressed as SPF: SPF 50 filters 98.3% of UVB.
A for Ageing
Responsible for skin ageing and deeper skin damage. Present all year round and passes through glass. Expressed as PPD.

The dermatologist behind it
“Sunscreens should be easy to apply, leave no residue and feel like a moisturising cream. They also need to be affordable, so they can be applied generously.”
Altruist was founded in 2015 by dermatologist Dr Andrew Birnie and Dutch economist David Westerbeek van Eerten. They developed the products in their spare time to keep costs low, and pass that saving on in the price.

How we helpQuestions
Frequently asked questions
Answered by Dr Andrew Birnie and the Altruist team.
More questions? Visit our FAQIs the green colour visible on the skin?
No. As you blend it in, the green tint neutralises redness, leaving an even, lightly tinted finish.
Is it suitable for rosacea?
The cream was specially developed for hypersensitive skin that reddens easily. Redness is camouflaged immediately, while a soothing plant complex with centella asiatica helps reduce redness in the longer term. Are you being treated for rosacea? Then consult your doctor first.
Can I use it instead of foundation?
Yes, it is a tinted day cream and sunscreen in one. If you would like more coverage, you can apply make-up on top.
What is the difference with the Light version?
The Light version has a lighter tint, specially for fair skin. The protection (SPF50, PPD 52) and the caring effect are the same.
How much sunscreen should I use?
To get the protection stated on the pack, you need 2 mg per cm² of skin. That is roughly one teaspoon per body part and a shot glass for the whole body. In practice, most people apply only half that amount.

How often should I reapply?
Reapply every two hours, and always after swimming, exercising or towel-drying. Even a water-resistant sunscreen loses some of its protection in the water.
What does PPD 52 mean?
PPD shows how well a sunscreen protects against UVA radiation, which causes skin ageing and pigmentation. In Europe this value must be at least one third of the SPF. With PPD 52, the UVA protection of this product is well above that European minimum.

How long does the product keep?
Once opened, the product keeps for 12 months, as shown by the symbol on the packaging. Store it in a cool place, out of direct sunlight.
