Which? Sun Protection?

With temperatures set to soar this weekend, most people will be reaching for the sunscreen.  But, with so many brands on the market, which is the best sun protection?

A recent review by consumer watchdog Which? has highlighted the worrying trend that some of the well-known and established brands on the market are actually sub-standard.  Brands such as Piz Buin, Hawaiian Tropic and Malibu all failed stringent SPF and UVA tests and do not offer the levels of protection promised.

However, there is an alternative that is relatively new to the UK market, and judging by the number of people now searching for it online, it’s success in protecting the skin from the harmful and damaging effects of over-exposure to UVA and UVB speaks for itself.

Techniblock Sun Spray has been developed and manufactured in South Africa by one of SA’s leading pharmaceutical laboratories, Technikon Labs PTY.  Recently tested by CANSA (Cancer Association of South Africa), Techniblock was subjected to stringent COLI-PA standard testing along with more well-known brands such as Nivea and Ambre Solaire.

Following this rigorous testing, Techniblock has been awarded CANSA’s seal of approval and recognition as a product that offers protection against UVA/UVB, as well as solar radiation and air pollution.

Furthermore, Techniblock’s unique selling point is its ease of application.  Traditionally, high-factor sunscreens are thick and sticky and take ages to rub in.  Techniblock Sun Spray is a clear, non-greasy and fast drying sun protection that leaves little trace on the skin.   It doesn’t contain oils or emulsifiers, but is instead delivered in ethanol that dries instantly leaving behind just the ingredients that are needed to prevent burning.  Available in SPF15, 30 and 50+, a single application lasts several hours.

Techniblock Sun Spray is exclusively available through Techniblock Suncare UK and can only be purchased online at www.techniblock.co.uk and Techniblock Suncare’s Amazon platform.  For more information, please contact sales@techniblock.co.uk
