Test in the Himalayas

In October of
2006, Hansreudi Wirth a well known Swiss climber, protected his skin with our MelanSol® SPF-18 during his 7,525 meter (24,688 ft)
ascent of Annapurna IV, in the Himalayas of Nepal.

"Above 6000
meters (about 19,800 ft.) my skin turned a light shade of red, however, by morning it had
turned into the perfect tan." said Wirth. "I experienced
no skin damage to my hands, face or lips."
If you hadn't known that he was one of the world's premier climbers, you would
think he had just returned from Tahiti. If MelanSol® can effectively protect his skin and lips
under these extreme conditions, imagine how well it will work for you. |
