1.In the UK £1000-£3000 to get from idea to fully tested ready to go formula.
2.Quite a tough one to answer. Give the formula to a manufacturer or make it yourself.
Don’t forget packaging and logistics/shipping costs!

What preservative are you using at 0.03% ?
Also instead of just using SLS try maybe Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate, Lauryl Glucoside & Cocamidopropyl Betain blend.Ditch the Salt! -
Use nanoparticle Zinc Oxide, you’ll struggle to get to SPF 15 without creating a thick thick product!

MoisturisingStick to natural Oils and Butters, Aquaseal Coconut from Active Concepts or just straight up Virgin Coconut Oil.Shea, Kukui or Mafura Butters -
For natural solubilizers I would recommend Polysorbate 20, Polyglycerol-4 Caprate or something like Sophogreen from Soliance or SymSol from Symrise.
The best results I have had have been with Polysorbate 20 (used at 3:1 or 5:1) and Sophogreen (used at 10:1)Regarding shelf life, stability: I have had products last up to a year at rt without any separation and some products that have only lasted a couple of months but the oil is easily redispersed with a good shake.microbiological: The water would have to be preserved and this would also need solubilizing.
