Sunscreen: dermatological protection for every day.
Daily sun protection is not a luxury, but an essential part of a healthy skincare routine. UV radiation is responsible for a large proportion of premature skin aging and can cause skin damage, even when the sun isn’t visible. Altruist sunscreen (SPF30 and SPF50) was developed by consultant dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon Dr. Andrew Birnie, with one clear goal: to make the highest-quality sun protection accessible to everyone.

Why daily sun protection is so important
Many people think sunscreen is only necessary on sunny days or during holidays. In reality, UVA radiation reaches the skin all year round, even through clouds and glass. This radiation penetrates deep into the skin and can lead to:
- Cellular-level skin damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Pigmentation spots
- Loss of firmness
- Skin aging (photo-aging)
UVB radiation is responsible for sunburn, but UVA is the silent cause of deep, long-term damage. That’s why all Altruist products provide broad-spectrum protection (UVA and UVB).

The science behind Altruist sunscreen
Altruist combines dermatological expertise with modern filter technology. The sunscreen products contain:
✓ Advanced UV filters
A combination of modern chemical and mineral filters that effectively block both UVA and UVB radiation.
✓ Hybrid formulas
What makes Altruist unique is the development of hybrid sunscreen products: skincare + SPF in one. The textures are lightweight, mattifying, and ideal for daily use.
✓ High PPD values
PPD (Persistent Pigment Darkening) indicates the level of UVA protection. Many Altruist products score significantly higher than the minimum requirements — essential for preventing pigmentation and premature skin aging.
✓ Dermatologically developed
Every product is developed by Dr. Andrew Birnie, a specialist in skin cancer care. As a result, the formulas are reliable, gentle, and suitable for even the most sensitive skin types.
