Altruist
Altruist was created by the distinguished British dermatologist and surgeon, Dr. Andrew Birnie, and the Dutch economist David Westerbeek van Eerten. They developed the products in their spare time, using their own experience. Costs are kept so low thanks to their own business and personal connections and contacts that help them produce the product; as a result, these savings are passed directly to the consumer, resulting in products at an incredibly low price.
“The cost of the product should never be a factor when deciding whether or not to use sunscreen, or how much or how often to apply it. Everyone should have the basic right to take the necessary precautions to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer. While there are some excellent products available, most are so expensive that people resist using them as often or in as large quantities as they should.”

Dermatologist-recommended sunscreens cost around €15–20 for 200 ml, leading to low application rates and a “make it last” mentality. Altruist is taking a stand and fighting this.
In addition to cost, Altruist has been formulated to remove as many barriers to sunscreen use as possible:
- The special formula is non-sticky, making it comfortable to use.
- It leaves no white residue
- It is fragrance-free
- It is hypoallergenic and suitable even for the most sensitive skin.
- The packaging is sleek and gender-neutral, appealing to everyone.
- The invisible spray and 1-liter bottles offer different options for families.
