In the winter, we are in particular need of sun - and yet it is exactly at this time of year that we should take extra special care of our skin. PIZ BUIN®, one of the world's leading innovative suncare brands offers the Mountain product range which reflects the up-to-date research in the field of sun protection.

The PIZ BUIN® brand traces its origin back to the inspiration of Franz Greiter, a young chemistry student, who suffered severe sunburn while climbing Piz Buin, a mountain on the Swiss-Austrian border, in 1938. In a small laboratory in his parents' home, he formulated a product that would protect the skin against the adverse effects of the sun, a product that would later become known as PIZ BUIN®.

A long string of firsts in the field of sun protection can be credited to the pioneering spirit of Franz Greiter, which subsequently made the PIZ BUIN® brand famous all over the world. These innovations were invariably accompanied by path-breaking campaigns that document the prevailing spirit of the times in an impressive way.
