What Is #SunPoverty?
Our not-for-profit campaign aim is to provide a solution. We want to teach and establish good sun habits during youth, while providing equal opportunities to children eligible for free school meals through our #SunPoverty campaign.
We are also calling on the Government to abolish VAT on children’s sunscreen, as it’s not discretionary, it’s a necessity.

OUR SUPPORTERS
-
"I’m supporting Escentual’s #SunPoverty campaign. 80% of sun damage happens before the age of 18. Escentual’s initiative to abolish VAT on children’s sun cream, educate young people on sun safety, and donate thousands of broad-spectrum SPF50+ to children in struggling families is incredibly important."
Caroline Hirons, Author, Skincare Expert
-
"I absolutely love the initiative Escentual have created. Education on sun awareness from a young age is crucial. I hope the Government listens and abolishes VAT on sunscreen as it’s a necessity."
Dr Cristina Psomadakis, Dermatologist.
-
"It’s great that the #SunPoverty campaign has made this available to everyone. When I’m out on my bike training or racing I always make sure that I’ve applied enough sunscreen for the day, on my face and arms."
Geraint Thomas OBE, Welsh Gold Medallist

"The #SunPoverty campaign is so important. For every bottle of Escentual sun lotion (a broad-spectrum SPF50+ that ticks all the boxes) you buy, the brand will donate one to children on free school meals. Please help spread the love – and the sunscreen!"
