The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Altruist was founded in 2015 in the United States. They make sunscreen. The brand built its reputation on mineral formulations free from chemical filters. They use zinc oxide and titanium dioxide instead. Their products target sensitive skin and reef safety. Altruist gained notice for transparent ingredient labeling. They refuse synthetic UV absorbers linked to coral damage. Today the brand operates primarily online across North America. They compete in the clean beauty segment. Altruist tracks weekly alongside 6648 other brands. The company remains small but deliberate. Their sunscreen remains their core product.
