## Description

Product Description This suncream is formulated to optimise the distribution of sun filters on the skin, resulting in high SPF levels. To keep sufficient moisture in the skin glycerine (3%) and panthenol (0.3%) are formulated into the water phase at moderate concentration, to maintain hydration without exaggerating the moisturising effect associated with excessive glycerine. Ingredients Aqua, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Octocrylene, Glycerin, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Titanium Dioxide (nano), Tris-Biphenyl Triazine (nano), Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Panthenol, Caprylyl Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Decyl Glucoside, Xanthan Gum, Piroctone Olamine, Titanium Dioxide, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Silica, Disodium Phosphate, Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Silver Chloride P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Directions Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure, use a generous amount and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming/sweating.

Review: Undeniable Quality, always Affordable! - I have used Altruist for around 7 years now, since getting pretty bad acne in my late teens, and going on a big skincare journey from there. It has never aggravated my acne, or eczema, it sits well under makeup, it's not greasy, and it has a neutral smell. I appreciate that their products have remained affordable, and that they stay true to their cause - protecting skin! Their facial fluid formula had to change for a while a few years back (because of ingredient shortages, great customer service btw), and it kept pilling, so I opted for this particular spf 50 instead, and I have stuck to it since! So even their body sunscreens are great on your face, even if you're acne-prone! Thank you Altruist :)
Review: Good sunscreen - Good.caused me no skin problems & blocked sun. Very reasonably priced. Will be buying again when needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value, nice product
*by J***E on 28 February 2026*

I really like this - is had bought some of the Rosalique brand and I'll be honest and say this was a much cheaper option and I liked it better. It is a creamer and lighter consistency but does the same job. The only thing I'd say is that it can look a bit dark on the skin sometimes and I had to tone down with powder. Nice though and better than paying twice or three times the price.
