PIZ BUIN - brand specialized for sun care since 1946

After suffering overexposure to the sun while climbing the Piz Buin alpine peak in 1938, chemistry student, Franz Greiter, developed one of the world's first sun protection products in 1946, the PIZ BUIN® Gletscher Creme, or Glacier Cream. Working with his wife, Marga, a trained beautician, they developed a specialist sun care brand dedicated to developing cutting edge sun protection with luxurious skincare for anyone who wanted to enjoy life in the sun. For more than 70 years PIZ BUIN® has been providing sun lovers everywhere with uncompromising protection so they can get that beautiful summer colour they're after - a colour that has always inspired people to say: "Where Have You Been!®".

PIZ BUIN® MOISTURISING - Intensely moisturising sun protection

If you love the sun and want to take care of your skin, our PIZ BUIN® MOISTURISING range is just what you need.

A unique hydrating complex provides intense moisturisation to help maintain the skin’s natural hydration level while tanning.

PIZ BUIN® ULTRA LIGHT - Ultra lightweight protection
