Summer is well and truly here and it's set to stay, at least for the next couple of weeks! 
Everyone knows how important sunscreen is when the temperature starts to rise but, equally, many people hate using sun protection.  

If thick, greasy and difficult to rub in sun creams are making you hot, sticky and uncomfortable, try something completely different.  Techniblock Aerosol Sunscreen is a lightweight but powerful sun protection that’s resistant to water and perspiration, providing an almost transparent but extremely effective barrier against harmful UV rays.

Forget itchy, irritated and sunburnt skin, Techniblock’s high quality, UVA/UVB formula allows skin to breathe freely and doesn’t contain any oils, emulsifiers, colourants or perfume.  This makes is perfect for sun-sensitive skin that’s prone to prickly heat rash and, according to our customers, is the best solution to prevent symptoms so you can enjoy the sun.

A range of sizes are available in SPF 30, SPF 40 and SPF 50+ High Protection, including a handy 75ml spray that's ideal for hand-luggage only travel or for popping in your bag for instant protection on the go.  Our High Protection Children's range will keep kids safe in the sun, and one application will last them for the duration of the school day so they can enjoy play times without worrying about sunburn.

The 5-star rating was introduced by Boots as part of a marketing initiative.  Sun care companies that wish to sell their products in Boots outlets, or adopt the 5-star rating, have to pay a license fee to Boots.  However, it is only a UK rating system; it is not recognised in Europe or globally, nor is it a part of any EU regulations or industry standard testing for protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Over the years, many people and even insitutions like the NHS have come to rely upon this rating system as an indication of how well a sunscreen will protect because it has been extremely well marketed by Boots as a bench mark for suncare products.  In truth, it can be misleading.  Sunscreens like Hawaiian Tropic, Banana Boat and even Boots' own brand Soltan, all failed a Which? survey last year after testing revealed that they did not provide the level of SPF they claimed to, and yet all these products carry a 5-star rating.

The most important symbol to look for on any sunscreen is the UVA/UVB one.  Only sun protection with these symbols have passed stringent testing and conform to the strict industry standards demanded by the European Union.

We've all heard about that wonder product, the one that professes to heal every skin condition from a bee sting to severe eczema and everything in between.  You buy it, only to get it home and find that, well actually, it doesn't do what it says on the tin!
However, finally, there really is a skin saviour for just about every ailment you can think of in the form of Tropic's Tamanu Healing Balm.  An absolute skin hero, this multi-purpose green balm helps to repair, soothe and nourish skin and, the best bit, it contains NO chemicals, preservatives, lanolin, oils or parabens.
Suitable for babies (nappy rash, eczema), breast-feeding mums and children with cuts, grazes and bumps, a little bit of Tamanu Balm fits the bill.
There's been great feedback from customers suffering from psoriasis and rosacea and people wanting to improve the appearance of scars.  It's also great for the treatment of bites, stings and even sunburn if you forget your Techniblock sunscreen and the sun decides to make a last-minute appearance!
