Altruist Family Sunspray SPF50 250ml, White

I have always had very fair skin but even so, as a child and into my teens I could tan evenly. In my early 20’s, in Majorca I got what I thought was prickly heat on my upper arms and have gotten it again every summer for the past 15 years. Even just one mildly sunny day in Ireland I will get this heat rash. It is never itchy or painful but is very unsightly and takes months to disappear. There was a segment on This Morning a few years ago which suggested that this reaction wasn’t prickly heat but was an allergic reaction to UVA rays. I have spent the last few years trialling different sun protection lotions, all with 5 star UV protection but with no luck, It turns out, most on the market offer 5 star UVB protection, when what I needed was 5 star UVA protection. There was an article in the NY Times on the allergy to UVA rays, I found the article on it and promptly lost it, but between that article and the segment on This Morning, I have come to the conclusion that I do not get prickly heat, that I have an allergy to UVA rays. I have trialled SEVERAL sun protection lotions, both pharmacy brand and high end. This Altruist protection is the first sun lotion in 15 years that has prevented a heat rash. I spent a week on the beach in Portugal in < 25 degree sun and nothing. No heat rash and no burn. I cannot recommend this enough. I bought a 30 factor cream and a 50 factor spray. I use them both. I prefer the spray just for ease of use. I wouldn’t recommend either for your face if you are in any way sensitive. My eyes stream when I use it on my face. This is the first sun protection I have found that protects me from sunburn & from that awful rash. The synopsis on here tells us that the developers have created this with a view to prevent skin cancer and to benefit children with albinism, I thank them and wish them the very best in their future. If you are looking for a brilliant sun protection for you and your family, please buy this, it is unrivalled in my opinion. (And I’ve tried a lot).

Recommended this sunscreen by GP as son suffers with eczema. Doesnt irritate the skin and absorbs easily. Good for kids and adults with sensitive skin.

We are currently on a family holiday in Lanzarote (6 adults and 3 children) and we have been using altruist factor 30 and factor 50. The factor 50 in the spray bottle is excellent for the children, it sprays well and applies quickly and easily, it’s not sticky at all and doesn’t sting the little ones eyes when applied to his face (something he usually always complains of with other brands) would highly recommend and won’t use any other brand of sunscreen!

Love this sun screen. It works really well. It is tolerated by my baby's sensitive skin also. However, it does stain yellow and the spray bottle on our most recent bottle stopped working and there was no way to remove the lid. So had to buy an alternative bottle on our holiday. So buy the tube not the bottle to be safe.

Recently bought this for the family to use as we have children with sensitive skin and who are very reluctant to use sunscreen after other sunscreens have caused irritation. This is a brilliant product. The trigger spray and the size of the bottle make it very easy to use. The sunscreen itself is easy to apply and works brilliantly, it is also waterproof. We had absolutely no issues with sunburn and the children were more than happy to apply with product. I really cannot recommend this product enough and the whole family will be using it next year! All of the Altruist product range is wonderful for sensitive skin.

Put this SPF50 on my son and he got badly burnt including blistering. To say that I am furious is an understatement. There are various other reviews which say the product seems to vary in quality and consistency which is alarming. I don’t care what kind of conditions you are in, But if you are covered in 50 you should not be getting burnt this badly. Was reapplied also. Will not be buying this again and will go back to the big brands that work. EDIT: Pretty sure the problem is that it just washes off in water like milk and its ’water Resistance’ as claimed on the bottle is close to zero. Try it yourself. Put it on your hands and it just washes off like milk. Try a proper brand like Nivea and it sticks like glue and you need to wash off with 2 lots of soap. I will be taking this further.

Marvellous product even for sensitive skin like mine. It's not a mist (so don't spray directly onto your face) but a thin lotion which is easily absorbed and non-greasy. It transports easily and safely thanks to the built-in "safety catch" that prevents the trigger being accidentally pressed even when it's in check-in luggage. The sun protection is what I expect from an SPF50. I could be out in the sun even in Spain for at least an hour without any sign of sunburn. I will definitely buy again when I run out.

The product is great! You don’t even feel it on your skin like many sun creams and my sensitive eyes always run with others but not this one.

J'aime beaucoup ce produit, par contre la pompe ne fonctionne pas, je suis obligée de secouer dans tous les sens, ce qui est excessivement énervant le matin

Ho avuto il piacere di provare l'ALTRUIST Family Sunspray SPF50 da 250ml e sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto della sua efficacia e della sua praticità. Questo spray solare è un vero alleato per la protezione della pelle di tutta la famiglia, combinando alta protezione con una formula piacevole da usare. Punti di Forza (Pro): Protezione SPF 50 Elevatissima: Il fattore di protezione solare SPF50 offre un livello di protezione molto alto contro i raggi UVA e UVB, fondamentale per prevenire scottature e danni a lungo termine alla pelle. Questo lo rende particolarmente adatto per l'esposizione prolungata al sole, per pelli sensibili o per i bambini. Formato Famiglia e Applicazione Spray: Il flacone da 250ml è generoso e ideale per l'uso familiare, riducendo la necessità di acquistare più prodotti. L'applicazione in spray è incredibilmente comoda e veloce, permettendo di coprire ampie aree del corpo in poco tempo, il che è un grande vantaggio quando si tratta di applicare la protezione a bambini irrequieti. Formula Resistente all'Acqua e Non Appiccicosa: La sua resistenza all'acqua è un plus notevole, rendendolo perfetto per giornate al mare o in piscina. Inoltre, la formula è non appiccicosa, un dettaglio che fa la differenza per il comfort, evitando quella fastidiosa sensazione di unto sulla pelle. Senza Profumo: L'assenza di profumo è un aspetto molto apprezzato, specialmente per chi ha pelli sensibili o tendenze allergiche, e per i bambini. Non ci sono odori che possano infastidire o interagire con profumi personali. Adatto a Tutti i Tipi di Pelle: La sua formulazione è pensata per essere tollerata da tutti i tipi di pelle, offrendo una soluzione universale per la protezione solare. Ottimo Rapporto Qualità-Prezzo: Considerando l'alta protezione, il formato generoso e la qualità della formula, il prodotto offre un eccellente rapporto qualità-prezzo, rendendo la protezione solare di qualità accessibile. Aspetti da Considerare (Contro): Necessità di Spalmare dopo lo Spray: Sebbene sia uno spray, per garantire una copertura uniforme è sempre consigliabile spalmare il prodotto dopo l'applicazione, cosa che per alcuni potrebbe rappresentare un minimo sforzo aggiuntivo rispetto a un'applicazione totalmente "no-touch". Esperienza d'Uso Tipica: Ho utilizzato questo solare durante le mie recenti giornate all'aperto, sia al parco che in spiaggia, e si è rivelato estremamente affidabile. L'applicazione è rapida e il prodotto si assorbe bene senza lasciare residui bianchi o sensazioni sgradevoli. La protezione è stata costante, e non ho avuto problemi di scottature. La resistenza all'acqua è stata messa alla prova e ha superato l'esame. È diventato il mio solare "go-to" per tutta la famiglia. Conclusione e Raccomandazione: L'ALTRUIST Family Sunspray SPF50 è un prodotto eccellente per la protezione solare di tutta la famiglia. Offre un'alta protezione, è facile da applicare, resistente all'acqua e non appiccicoso, il tutto a un prezzo molto competitivo. È una scelta intelligente e responsabile per prendersi cura della propria pelle sotto il sole. Lo consiglio vivamente a chiunque cerchi un solare efficace e pratico per l'uso quotidiano e le vacanze.

Es un producto excelente. Lo recomiendo.

The product is not fit for purchase. The spray does not work I only it took it out of the press today. It is impossible to access the suncreen. . Please I require a replacement by return.

It's easy to apply and I am confident it is providing a high level of protection. It is after all formulated by a dermatologist. Have had no issues with the bottle I read about in reviews. Works perfectly.
