Sunscreen needs to be more affordable
The founders of Altruist are concerned about the level of skin cancer and analysed that one of the reasons was that sunscreen is just too expensive to use on a daily basis. So, they decided to create a sunscreen that has all the characteristics to be a good alternative for daily use and is still affordable.

Altruit Porducts are:

Free sunscreen for people with Albinism

Altruist is a not for profit organisation. Their purpose is not to maximize their profit, but to maximize the donations to persons with albinism and other people with vulnerable skin. And because they believe that sunscreen needs to be affordable, their price is lower than other sunscreen lotions.

The more they sell, and the more Conec Care sells, the more sunscreen will be donated. So, if you buy Altruist products instead of other brands, you help yourself, because you buy a good product for a lower price, and the many men, women and children with albinism that can’t live without this sunscreen.

Altruist is donating directly to the dutch African Albinism Foundation, that supports persons with albinism in 12 African countries by providing them with sunscreen.

All skin is vulnerable to solar radiation

We need sunlight

First of all, we all need sunlight in our lives. Sunlight is used by our skin to manufacture vitamin D, which we need for several processes. These include improving our immune system, bones, teeth, and cardiovascular health. Our skin’s outer layer contains melanin, critical for protecting our skin against harsh ultraviolet rays.

But we don’t need too much

Excess exposure to sunlight can cause an overproduction of melanin, which causes our skin to darken which gives us a suntan. Sunburn happens when way too much UV rays penetrate the outer layer of our skin and damage the skin cells.

Sunburn

Sunburn happens most to people with a lighter skin because they have less melanin. So, for those people it should be obvious they need to use sunscreen consistently to prevent sunburn and chronic sun damage to the skin.

There is however, the misconception that those with a coloured skin do not need to worry about excess sun exposure. But because you are not burning easily, doesn’t necessarily mean your skin is not damaged by the solar radiation! The reality is that your skin is slowly damaged by the sun. Also, a person with a coloured skin has a negative effect from being exposed to solar radiation without protection against it.

What can happen to your skin?

So, all skin can burn through an excess influx of UVB, also the coloured skin. And skin cancer does happen to people with a coloured skin too. Both UVB and UVA causes hyperpigmentation or sunspots. And although this is not automatically dangerous, most people consider them unwelcome. And finaly UVA causes the skin to age early because of the oxidation process induced by free radicals. And that is what we all want to prevent by using all kind of cremes and lotions. But a simple sunscreen is more effective than many other options.
