Piz Buin Tan Intense Lotion SPF15 150 ml — hydrating broad‑spectrum sun care with Melitan peptide

This lightweight 150 ml lotion blends broad-spectrum UV filters with Melitan, a peptide shown in vitro to encourage the skin's pigment-production pathway, plus vitamins A, C and E for lasting moisture and skin comfort. Water-resistant and designed for everyday sun exposure, the formula helps you develop a warm, natural colour without sacrificing protection and hydration.

How does this lotion protect my skin while helping a tan develop?

The product combines established UVA/UVB filters with an ingredient, Melitan, that in laboratory studies has been linked to increased melanin activity. The SPF15 rating provides baseline defence against UVB, while the high UVA protection level helps reduce deeper photo-damage that accelerates ageing.

• Broad-spectrum formulation shielding against UVA and UVB rays
• Melitan peptide supports the skin's natural pigment response (in vitro evidence)
• UVA protection level indicated on packaging for deeper spectrum coverage
• Water-resistant for continued performance during light activity

How does it feel on skin and will it keep my skin hydrated?

The lotion has a light, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling soft, not sticky. Vitamins A, C and E are included to nourish and help maintain moisture, which can reduce the risk of peeling after sun exposure.

• Light, fast-absorbing lotion suitable for daily use
• Vitamins A, C and E provide antioxidant support and hydration
• Leaves skin smooth to the touch and helps minimize post-sun flaking

When and how should I apply Piz Buin Tan Intense Lotion SPF15?

Apply generously to all exposed areas of skin 15–20 minutes before sun exposure for even coverage. Reapply regularly, especially after swimming, towel-drying or heavy sweating, to maintain the stated level of protection and the water-resistant benefit.

• Use 15–20 minutes pre-exposure for best film formation
• Reapply every two hours or after water contact/towel drying
• 150 ml size is convenient for daily use and short trips

Is this safe to use on sensitive or delicate skin?

The formula is designed for regular sun care but contains active filters and a peptide; those with very sensitive skin should patch-test first or consult a dermatologist. The inclusion of vitamin support and moisturisers helps reduce irritation risk, but avoid broken or freshly shaved skin until you know how your skin reacts.

• Patch-test recommended for highly sensitive skin types
• Contains nourishing vitamins to soothe and hydrate after application
• Not formulated as a medicated product; seek professional advice for skin conditions

Who is this for: Piz Buin Tan Intense Lotion SPF15 is aimed at people who want a natural-looking tan while maintaining everyday UV defence and skin hydration. It suits those who prefer a lightweight, fast-absorbing sunscreen with added skincare benefits, travellers who value the 150 ml size, and anyone seeking a water-resistant option for casual outdoor activity. If you need very high SPF for prolonged, intense sun exposure, consider pairing this product with additional sun-safe behaviours or a higher-SPF formulation.
