Altruist was founded by Dr. Andrew Birnie, a leading dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon, together with his friend David Westerbeek van Eerten. Rooted in medical expertise, Altruist was created with a clear mission: to reduce the incidence of skin cancer through effective, broad-spectrum UV protection. The brand is dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable sun care suitable for all skin types.
At Altruist, skincare is more than a routine — it's a responsibility.

Altruist products are developed with broad-spectrum protection, minimal irritation, and inclusivity in mind, making them suitable for all skin types, tones, and ages.
