ALTRUIST supports Under the Same Sun

A charity supporting children with albinism in Tanzania and the rest of Africa. We believe everybody should have an equal opportunity to be protected from the sun. With each tube purchased we will donate 10p. You can help children with albinism in Africa.

Skin Cancer in children

With its scorching hot sun, the tropical climate of Tanzania puts people with albinism at a high risk for developing skin cancer at an early age. 100 per cent of children with albinism in Tanzania show signs of sun-related skin damage by the age of 10.

Albinism

A genetic condition, more prevalent in Africa
Results in looking white due to lack of pigmentation in hair, eyes and skin
Most are visually impared
Highly vulnerable to sun exposure resulting in high rates of skin cancer
Less than 2 per cent will live to be 40 years old
Since 2006 more than 300 recorded attacks, a lot involved children

Ridiculous awful product.....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 January 2019

Configuration: singleVerified Purchase

Been with Amazon more than a decade now... had few issues in this time... but never really written up a review/experience until now... this product is simply a joke...

There's all these bells and whistles with a smug 'dermatologist' behind it describing it as best. But it's not. It's worst ever tried...

This product just sits on your skin?... Does not sink in?... If, at this point you try to pat in more it peels off in rolls? It's also destroyed few of my nice tops because it stains very badly (doesn't wipe off easily - won't sink on skin but boy... will happily into clothing)

Other issues: greasy texture, ridiculous oily shine effect, permenant white marks, causes breakouts..

Also, I've been using pea size amounts and it causes these problems... what's point using a spf if you can't put on?...

‘Not for sale’ stated on tube

Actually the product seems pretty good. Although under the sticker on bar code it states ‘not for sale’ so I question where the product has come from and whether this is a genuine product seller?

Contains ALKYL GLUCOSIDES which in very sensitive skin can cause contact dermatitis!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2018

Configuration: singleVerified Purchase

Loved this sunscreen at first and reordered it twice. However, little by little it obviously has been building up to me having a full blown allergic reaction to it. Unfortunately, it contains ALKYL GLUCOSIDES which were named in 2017 as "ALLERGEN of the Year" by US Dermatologists. Apparently it takes time to build up to people having an allergic reaction to it and to causing contact dermatitis. Please take this ingredient out of this otherwise excellent sunscreen. (See review by Dr Dray who highly rates it but names the culprit that has been causing my red, itchy and irritated skin.)

I can honestly say that this is the best sunscreen that I have ever used

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2018

Configuration: singleVerified Purchase

I can honestly say that this is the best sunscreen that I have ever used. I learned about it from a programme on TV and it interviewed the consultant cancer skin specialist who helped develop it. It is so reasonably priced and is a pleasure to use. It is non greasy, lasted all day (I wasn't swimming/in water) and I was able to wear my make up on top without looking shiny and the make up went on like a dream on top. I will never buy any other and cannot recommend it highly enough

Wonderful product

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2020

Configuration: singleVerified Purchase

I seldom write product reviews, but I was very pleased with this sun cream, and with the transparent (and altruistic) nature of the company/founders. I am very thankful that Altruist was able to offer this product at a very affordable price, so everyone can access sun protection and apply it at the correct densities every day to achieve the UV protection stated on the bottle (and re-apply throughout the day).

The sun cream is a bit shiny, especially with re-application, but I enjoy wearing it at home, and while exercising. It is water-resistant which means it is great while exercising - and because it is very affordable, it can be used appropriately without guilt (e.g. adults need ~ 6 g per leg, ~ 3 g per arm + hand, ~ 6 g on torso, ~ 6 g on back, ~ 1,4 g on face + neck, to reach the SPF on the bottle). It is also great in the winter, especially where I live, when it can get down to -30 Celsius. It is also very friendly for sensitive skin - it is fragrance-free, uses a very gentle preservative system (although I must say using parabens would have been even more effective and gentle - contrary to media, there is no evidence of harm to human health at all, unless you have a confirmed allergy to parabens, as demonstrated by a confirmed patch test conducted by a certified allergist). There can be a slight flash-type cast due to the TiO2 for those with Fitzpatrick types III and beyond, but it is very minimal in my opinion. It does not sting the eyes (since octocrylene is only present at 5%), but could be different for extremely sensitive eyes.

I just wanted to share a bit about UVA protection in hopes those not familiar with this find it helpful: UVA is immunosuppressive, causes premature aging, contributes to persistent hyperpigmentation, and exacerbates many skin diseases. The SPF only describes the UVB protection (which is only 5% of the UV dose - the rest is UVA), therefore not every SPF 50 offers the same UVA protection.

The UVA 5-star of this cream only says that the sun cream UVA protection is at least 90% of the UVB protection (i.e. 90% of 98%, since it is SPF 50). However, it also has the UVA seal (which states that the UVA protection factor is at least 1/3 of the SPF), meaning this product offers a PPD of at least 17 (which is already quite effective). Although I do not know the exact PPD rating of this sun cream, I am pleased that Altruist decided to divulge the extinction profile of the cream, which shows it remains effective even in the very broad UVA1 range (beyond 380 nm). This is very important because not every broad-spectrum filter covers this area effectively. I appreciate that Altruist SPF 50 contains 8 UV filters: octocrylene (UVB+UVA2), octisalate (UVB), avobenzone (entire UVA1+UVA2), TiO2 (UVB+UVA2+someUVA1), ensulizole (UVB+slightUVA2), Uvinul T 150 (UVB+UVA2), Tinosorb S (UVB+UVA2+UVA1), and Tinosorb A2B (UVB+UVA2+UVA1) for truly comprehensive UV protection. Avobenzone offers most of the protection beyond 380 nm in this sunscreen, but Tinosorb A2B is also effective in this area (because it has a substantial tail after its second peak absorbance at ~ 340 nm) - and the avobenzone is very stable in the formulation because of the Tinosorbs and octocrylene (plus the other filters) so I am very confident in the UVA protection of this sun cream.

Overall, a fantastic product. I tried it for the first time earlier this year and was immediately impressed. I now re-ordered 8 bottles.

It’s a no from me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2021

Configuration: singleVerified Purchase

Awful!
I try not to listen to negative comments because I find things like skincare rather subjective. Having said that, this product looks as if you have dry skin peeling off your face where the product doesn't sink into the way you need it to. You can see the product on my face 2 hours after applying.

Will not be using this product again and now I have two tubes of it ...
