In 1938, a chemist
climbed the Piz Buin mountain and got a big sunburn.
This trivial event is known to mankind because the guy who got the
sunburn was the Austrian chemist Franz Greiter. As a result of this
sunburn, he developed the first effective sunscreen. He called it
Gletscher Crème. It became the basis for his company he
named after the
mountain: Piz Buin. Check out the related route |
