| 54. Formula of the Month: Mineral Spray Sunscreen | 14 May 2024 | 00:24:06 | |

This month, we’re featuring a formula that was created for that very purpose — and it 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.
