About Us

We are a small, family-run business committed to providing high quality suncare products and excellent customer service. We have links with South Africa, and this is where we discovered the products that we sell. We have personally used them all and we think they are the absolute best!

Our link with South Africa began back in 1992 when a family member moved out there, and is still living in the suburbs of Johannesburg today. We have visited the country many times and it was during these visits that we first discovered Techniblock sun protection.

The South African sun is extremely harsh with very high UV so a top-quality sunscreen is an absolute must. Even in the winter months, temperatures during the day are often in the low to mid-20s so its definitely an "SPF every day" destination.

We loved the non-greasy and easy-to-use application of Techniblock, not to mention how fantastic it was at protecting our skin. At the time, there was nothing like it in the UK (and even today, we think it's a cut above) so in 2010 we took the plunge and set up our online business - Techniblock Suncare Ltd.

Jump forward a few years and we have thousands of happy customers who also love the formula and how easy it is to apply. It’s been an absolute game-changer for those who have very sensitive skin too (check out our reviews), with the hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic formula helping to prevent the symptoms of prickly heat rash.

Adding to our range with South Africa’s best-selling insect repellent Peaceful Sleep seemed a good fit for our business and this has fast become one of our top selling products. If the mozzies love you, you'll love Peaceful Sleep.

The Techniblock brand has changed hands many times over the years, following the sale of the business by it's then CEO, Rob Verseput, who developed the original Techniblock formula over 30 years ago.

Sunscreen technologies and formulations have moved on significantly in recent years, not to mention all the new compliance regulations surrounding the health and beauty industry. And so, in 2024, we made the decision to create our very own sunscreen brand in collaboration with Rob, who now consults for another pharmaceutical manufacturing company in South Africa, and TechniSun was born. This new generation sun protection offers all the great qualities of the original Techniblock but now with additional benefits such as a reef-friendly, Vegan formula and advanced ingredients to ensure the very best protection against sunburn.

Discover these products for yourself and we’re confident that you’ll never look back when it comes to choosing your sun protection and insect repellent.

Technisun factor 30

I’ve been using the techniblock sunscreen for years now and it’s made holidays so much easier with less faffing about with sunscreen. We just spray and go. This week I’ve been using the new technisun factor 30 and it’s lovely. Not one red patch to be seen after whole days out in the sun and it has a lovely watermelon scent. We never worry about burning whilst using these products and will always have them in our suitcase 😊

Great value bundle. The spf 50 offers excellent protection and never lets us down. Non greasy, great coverage and long lasting. We wouldn't use anything else. We've not had prickly heat once or burned since using Techniblock. Highly recommended :).
