Thanks for the reply Bob!  What do you suggest adding to prevent the wax crystallization?  

We will work on some knock-out batches in the meantime.  I am thinking it’s one of the butters, cocoa or mango since the clump that forms melts so easily on the skin.

I am sure you have have heard of Product Quest.  My customer “bought” this formula from them and it is similar to Hawaiian Tropic SPF 45 Ingredient List listed above.  That PEG-8 throws me off!  In this formula it goes in at 1.5%

Thanks so much for the advice guys!  I ended up adding salt until it thinned back out.  His other two baby products I had carefully watched as they were produced for the first time in manufacturing.  They went well so I thought this one wouldn’t need my careful watch.  Boy was I wrong when they called me to come look at it!  He never wrote anything down that he did in the lab…just his formula.  So it makes me wonder if this happened to him in the lab.  Oh well.  Again, thanks so very much!
