Altruist

Their mission? To reduce the incidence of skin cancer by creating super highly protective sunscreen at an affordable price point, enabling more people to be able to wear more sunscreen.

Working together with some of the best scientists in Europe and BASF, the two friends created their sun care and skincare collection and continue to promote better education and awareness around the importance of sun protection.

With products containing 5 star UVA protection, Altruist deliver super-protective formulas to help shield your skin.

What’s The Difference Between SPF30 And SPF50 Protection?

SPF indicates the UVB protection, however, the amount of UVB radiation that’s filtered varies across different SPFs.

• SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB.
• SPF 30 blocks 96.7% of UVB.
• SPF 50 blocks 98.3% of UVB.

So, SPF50 has a higher UVA protection compared to SPF30.

The star rating system on sunscreens is based on the ratio of UVA/UVB. Both SPF50 and SPF30 are the maximum of 5 stars, but as the UVB protection of the 50 is higher, the UVA is too.

Experts recommend wearing no less than SPF30 to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
