What makes this product unique?
The sun’s harmful rays are the #1 cause responsible for signs of aging and skin cancer. Altruist was founded by Dr. Andrew Birnie (British consultant dermatologist & skin cancer surgeon), and David Westerbeek (philanthropist who has contributed in skincare his whole life). The two altruists set out a vision - to decrease the incidence of UV-induced skin cancer through the increased use of premium quality sunscreen and better education. Together with the help of the best formulation scientists in Europe, Dr. Andrew & David created exceptionally first-class sunscreens at the lowest possible price.
What does it do?
Formulated with a hybrid of 8 mineral & synthetic UV filters approved safe and UV-protective by the European Union Cosmetics Regulation, including the most efficient UVB and UVA filters known today – Tinosorb A2B, Uvinul T150 and Tinosorb S, Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen SPF 50 Fluid feels invisible on skin, whilst efficiently protecting skin from being damaged by UV exposure. Consistent, liberal use as directed of this broad-spectrum sunscreen lowers risk of skin abnormalities and helps prevent premature aging caused by the sun, including brown/age spots, wrinkles & sagging skin.
Who is this product for?
A reliably-protective, elegantly-formulated sunscreen recommended for daily use on all skin types, especially combination-oily, acne prone skin.
*What is PPD?
PPD (Persistent Pigment Darkening) measures how well a sunscreen protects against UVA rays (SPF for UVB), which cause deep skin damage, photoaging, and hyperpigmentation. The higher the PPD, the stronger the UVA protection. PPD testing is done on human skin in a controlled environment.
PPD vs PA Rating
• PPD 2–4 → PA+
• PPD 4–8 → PA++
• PPD 8–16 → PA+++
• PPD 16+ → PA++++
