    I always use children's sunscreen. Seems to have simpler and better understood ingredients.

      This...non-nano zinc oxide is all you need. Ancient technology and still the safest & most effective.

      Bemotrizinol is itself a very large molecule with near-zero skin absorption (like ZnO), so if you are thinking you will use this to avoid the "it doesn't rub in" aspect of mineral sunscreen, you are going to be disappointed.
