Mineral sunscreens reflect UV rays using zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide to create a physical barrier on the skin. Because of how mineral sunscreen works, they are associated with a thick white cast. But many of Kobo’s formulas are close to sheer, even if one has darker skin and has struggled to blend in an SPF. Our formula of the month is just that and was developed for use as a spray. Listen in as we interview one of Kobo’s Application Lab Specialists from Brazil on how to formulate a Mineral Only Sunscreen Spray. This episode is packed with a a ton of of ingredients and manufacturing ideas to help you develop an effective, easy-to-use mineral sunscreen such as this one. Don’t miss it!
