Altruist Sunscreen

Altruist is a specialist skincare brand founded in the United Kingdom by Dr. Andrew Birnie and David Westerbeek van Eerten. The brand was established with a mission to make high-quality, dermatologically-approved sun protection accessible to everyone by keeping prices low and donating a portion of proceeds to charities supporting people with albinism in Africa.

While the brand is headquartered in the UK, its products are primarily manufactured in Germany to leverage European pharmaceutical standards and ensure high formulation quality. The company remains an independent venture, owned by its original founders, allowing it to maintain its social enterprise focus without the overhead or profit-driven pressures of large multinational beauty conglomerates.
