Sun Poverty is Back for 2023!
Our Sun Poverty campaign is back for the third time, and we plan to go bigger and better than ever with the mission to donate 20,000 sunscreens across the UK to the children who need them most. How can you help? When you buy any Escentual Sunscreen SPF50+, you’ll donate sunscreen to a child without sun cream access.
