SPF 50 Wet & Dry

Techniblock SPF 50 Wet & DrySunscreen is a truly unique, lightweight yet powerful sun protection that provides long lasting, non-sticky sun protection in a clear, cooling spray that is quick and easy to apply and very water resistant.

Wet & Dry can be applied to wet skin so there is no need to towel off before topping up, making it ideal for water sport enthusiats as well as young children who spend a lot of time in the water.

The main base for many sun protection products are oils and emulsifiers, which naturally leave a greasy residue, making them sticky and uncomfortable to apply. Traditionally, the higher the factor, the thicker and more difficult the sunscreen is to rub in.

Oils and emulsifiers also break down in water and, therefore, the lotion has to be re-applied frequently, particularly after swimming. Techniblock is different. The active ingredients that prevent sunburn are encapsulated in an ethanol-based spray that evaporates on contact to leave a transparent but effective and very water resistant UV barrier. Even while swimming, Techniblock keeps on working to protect so you can enjoy the water for longer, safe in the knowledge that the powerful, modern formula will keep working.

Non-greasy, fragrance-free and breathable, the formula is hypoallergenic and developed using the latest anti-pore blocking technologies, making it very suitable for sensitive skin, particularly if you’re prone to prickly heat. This irritating skin condition is aggravated by high temperatures and rubbing thick and gooey creams in to the skin just makes it worse. According to our customers, Techniblock keeps prickly heat at bay so you can enjoy the sun without worrying about nasty and irritating skin rashes.

It also provides instant protection in one quick application, unlike some other sunscreens where you have to wait for up to 45 minutes before going out in the sun in order for the protection to take effect, so it’s easy and convenient to use. The ideal solution for people who hate the fuss and bother of applying sunscreen.

Developed in South Africa, where they certainly know a thing or two about the sun, Techniblock is a tried and trusted brand that has been protecting skin for over 20 years. Packaged in a sealed, airtight container, the formula is not compromised after opening so there’s no need to discard half-used product, making it great value for money, and the anti-leak nozzle won’t get clogged with product or leave a mess in the bottom of a bag.

Techniblock is a broad spectrum protection. This means that it protects against both UVA and UVB protection. UVA is associated with skin ageing because it affects the elastin in our skin which leads to wrinkles and brown pigmentation. UVB is more associated with sunburn and has strong links to skin cancer.

Techniblock SPF 50 Wet & Dry is one of our most popular products and is also reef-friendly as it does not contain any oxybenzone or octinoxate, so it's as kind to our oceans and coral reefs as it is to our skin. Apply in a sheltered area to ensure even coverage and enjoy a sunburn-free summer.
