    Ok thanks everyone.  Some things to think about.  Is there anyone in here who does this for a living (or is just really knowledgeable) that I can pay to help get my formula right?  I need to be able to prep it at home.  If so, can you please email me some details at chubbybunny533@gmail.com
    Happy to purchase some better equipment, but this is not a major commercial operation by any means. 

    cheers : )

    Thanks everyone.  

    I do remember having success once when I stirred until mixture cooled more, but not too cool to transfer/syringe to tubes.  If it cools too much, my syringe tool won’t work properly.  

    I pretty much mix the entire time, as som of the zinc will start to settle.  I definitely mix before every new ‘syringe’
    of mixture.  

    Im using zinc oxide because it is to help with sun protection (product is chiefly for animals) 

    I was considering using a different ingredient to help thicken (either in combination or instead of beeswax) any suggestions of what might play nice with the oils and zinc? 

    Thanks : )
