This is the best sun cream on Amazon, here’s why

Usually, sun creams fall into two categories: good looking, lovely formulas and expensive – or budget-friendly, basic concoctions with badly designed packaging. And then there’s Altruist: the brand formulated by dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon, Dr Andrew Birnie that offers easy-to-use creams, lotions and sprays. They are non-sticky, sheer and absorb immediately with no white residue, and crucially includes a techno-advanced 5-star sun filter called Tinosorb A2B, that boosts protection from both UVA/UVB rays.

It’s been a well-documented fact that we’re not using enough sunscreen – minimum is three tablespoons for the body alone, and with this price point, you’re not going to be overly precious. It’s also water resistant and the one tube is suitable for face and body – it's hypoallergenic and fragrance-free so potentially shouldn’t cause breakouts either.

The packaging is stylish - very gender fluid so is suitable for ladies and gents, you won’t be embarrassed pulling it out of your beach bag and thankfully, no funny faux Tropicana illustrations, palms or bad bright font in sight - just a nice slick minimal, grey.

There’s another feel-good factor too. By buying Altruist, you can help albino children in Africa. Since the launch in 2016, 10p from each tube sold has been donated to support charities including Under The Same Sun & Stichting Afrikaanse Albino's. Additionally, in partnership with GRUUM, Altruist donated over £12,000 to Melanoma UK.
