Your wife sounds amazing! Last summer, Madhu and I tried to mix our own dark spot serum, and it turned into a rubbery clump. We learned two things: 1) The power of stabilizers and emollients, and 2) That we should probably bring on some qualified chemists and dermatologists. Thankfully we did :)

We do have plans to expand to Europe. Our Sephora retail relationship is specific to the US and Canada, so we are going to start there. However, Canada regulation is very similar to EU regulation, so expanding to Europe will be the easiest, most natural next step for us.

Your story is so common! I hope your wife is able to get her hands on a non-purple zinc sunscreen soon :)
