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 FAQCan I use the spray on my face?
Never spray directly onto your face. Spray the sunscreen into your hands and apply it from there. For daily use on the face, we recommend the Face Fluid SPF50.
Is the spray really invisible?
Yes. The spray is transparent, absorbs quickly and leaves no residue. Rub the sunscreen in well after spraying to get an even layer.
Can the spray stain clothing?
Avoid contact with clothing and other surfaces. Let the spray absorb fully before you get dressed.
Why can I only order one twin pack?
Legal restrictions apply to shipping aerosol cans. That is why you can order a maximum of two cans per order.
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.
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.

Is Altruist tested on animals?
No. Animal testing for cosmetics is banned in the European Union, and our products have never been tested on animals.
