Product Information
Full details
The Altruist Sunscreen Roller SPF 50 is designed for parents and active individuals seeking high-performance, broad-spectrum sun protection for delicate or sensitive skin. Its primary benefit is the unique roller applicator, which allows for mess-free, precise, and even coverage that is easy to apply on children who are constantly on the move. While it offers excellent hydration through vitamin E and glycerin, users should note that the 100ml size is best suited for travel or targeted daily use rather than whole-body coverage for large groups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the roller, gently remove the protective cap and roll the ball across the desired skin area. You may need to prime the roller on the back of your hand for a few seconds to ensure the formula is flowing evenly. Compatibility is broad, as the formula is tested for sensitive skin and can be used on both face and body. For proper care, store the bottle in a cool, shaded area to maintain the integrity of the SPF filters. If you notice any sand or debris on the roller ball, wipe it clean with a damp, soft cloth before re-capping to prevent contamination. Always ensure the cap is snapped on tightly to prevent the product from drying out or leaking during transit.
