That’s a good point. I think tolerability is the only drawback, otherwise zinc is functionally superior because it doesn’t get depleted in the way that chemical filters do. It does tend to be a lot heavier and greasier, though, and I’d say most people aren’t okay with the white/blue cast if they’re not at the beach. So chemical filters have an important role to play in terms of making sunscreen something that people can use consistently.
