Dermatologist-formulated sun protection

Altruist SPF50 Sunscreen was developed by Dr Andrew Birnie, a consultant dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon. It delivers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB radiation, meeting and exceeding current EU standards. With an SPF50 rating and a 5-star ultra-UVA rating (PPD 52), this is a serious daily sunscreen for anyone who takes skin health seriously.

A formula that works on skin, not against it

The blend of photostable UV filters provides reliable, consistent protection throughout sun exposure. Despite its high-performance credentials, the texture is lightweight and fast-absorbing — it sits on the skin like a moisturiser rather than a traditional sunscreen, with no greasy or sticky residue. The inclusion of panthenol supports skin comfort during wear.

Straightforward sun care for every day

At 100ml, this is a practical size for holidays, outdoor activities, or keeping in a bag for everyday use. It applies smoothly and absorbs quickly, making it easy to incorporate into a morning routine before heading out. Suitable for use on the face and body wherever sun protection is needed.

Apply generously to skin 20 minutes before going out in the sun. Reapply frequently, especially after swimming, sweating or towel drying. Avoid contact with eyes. Prolonged exposure to the sun may be harmful. Babies should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
