Ultrasun is the sun protection specialist for sensitive skin. We offer reliable sun protection that combines science, the highest dermatological compatibility, and sustainability.
Developed by experts, our sun protection products not only protect against the rays of the entire solar spectrum (UVA, UVB, infrared, and blue light) but are also particularly well-tolerated and sustainable.
For more than 30 years, Ultrasun sun care products have been developed, manufactured and optimised in Switzerland, according to the latest cosmetic and dermatological findings.
In 1992, a Swiss chemist developed the first Ultrasun sun cream. Over 30 years ago, the scientist was looking for a sunscreen that reliably protects against sun rays and is particularly gentle on sensitive skin. As his brother had suffered from skin cancer and had very sensitive skin, it was important to him to develop a sun protection that is free from harmful and critical ingredients while simultaneously offering reliable sun protection.
This ethos lives on today in Ultrasun's products. Our range meets the highest quality standards, the filter technologies used are based on the latest scientific findings, and all our products are, of course, dermatologically tested.
To this day, we develop and produce in Switzerland.
The ingredients for our Ultrasun sun protection products are selected with great care and kept to the essentials to support the skin's natural balance. For over 30 years, we have been developing according to the credo CLEAN FORMULAS. This means that Ultrasun does not use controversial ingredients.
Our products offer reliable protection against the entire spectrum of sunlight. We use only high-quality, photostable filter technologies and ingredients that do not burden the skin and the body. Our products, awarded the Swiss Allergy Seal of Quality, are hypoallergenic and free of emulsifiers and perfume – ideal for sensitive skin. The lightweight textures and non-comedogenic formulations prevent sun allergies, and the fast-absorbing, non-greasy formulas are also suitable for skin prone to acne, as they do not clog pores.
In particular, the products with a laminar structure are a milestone in sun protection: they are extremely skin-friendly, as they require a smaller amount of filters to achieve the same high protection factor.
Ultrasun is not only passionate about skin protection, but also committed to people's overall health and well-being.
We support various sporting events in Switzerland with our products to raise awareness for sun protection during sporting activities. Among others, we support the Ochsner Sport Zurich Marathon, the Gornergrat Zermatt Marathon, the Ticino Marathon, and many more.
Young athletes are also close to our hearts. It is particularly important to protect children's sensitive skin. Together with the former Olympic champion Nicola Spirig and her Phoenix Kids Triathlon, we are also raising awareness among the very youngest athletes about the importance of good sun protection.

Cancer patients are among those who are particularly vulnerable. Various medications can increase skin sensitivity and promote sun damage. For this reason, we support the annual Pink Ribbon Charity Walk, which raises awareness about the importance of early cancer detection and shows solidarity with those affected. Further information about the Pink Ribbon Charity Walk can be found here: https://www.pink-ribbon.ch/walk
We are also a brand partner of the organisation Look Good Feel Better, which offers workshops for cancer patients throughout Switzerland. They provide make-up and skincare tips, as well as advice on headwear, to boost participants' self-confidence and zest for life. You can find more information here: Look Good Feel Better Switzerland
Ultrasun supports the charity Advantage Africa, which works with over 1000 people to improve access to dermatological and medical services.
To support Dr. Ngobi's Dermatology Clinic for children and adults in eastern Uganda, Ultrasun has been donating sun protection products since 2016, specifically for people with albinism, who suffer particularly from the strong African sun.

Furthermore, we participate in various trade fairs, symposia, and training courses to raise awareness about the importance of sun protection.
