Absolutely hate mineral ones, literally worst of all worlds - expensive, bad ux and doesn’t work. All while greenwashing. So much so it became my litmus to test people’s literacy.

I use the spf 50 ‘sport’ version on my legs and arms (not the face, too greasy) and it seems to do the job OK.

I guess if it’s 35 in testing that’s still OK-ish for general use. I do really plaster it on. And as I’m usually doing that before a lot of outdoor work, it draws a further protective layer of sand and dirt to itself…

So, we, as a community knew to avoid them for an awful long time. I can't be specific about when I heard this first but I'm almost certain some one said this to me in the first 12 months I moved to Brisbane (from the UK) 17 years ago.

So, there's been an urban myth for almost, if not longer than 2 decades. And we're only finding out now that it's true? That's the most surprising part of this to me IMO.

Edit: sentence structure, words.
