So I'm assuming that includes zinc oxide sunscreen, which is touted as the "least harmful sunscreen" there is.

Well, that a cream, not dust. So is more of a skin issue, so then the question there is whether it penetrates the skin and turns out to do stuff to the tissue underneath.

I guess that the problem with a lot of these things is that we don't have good (enough?) predictive models for long-term damage.

I sure hope not, as it's the only type of sunscreen that really works for me.
Do you get burned when using other sunscreens?
I have to use at least SPF 50, and if I'm out in the sun all day, even that is definitely reaching its limits, I need the physical sunscreen as well.
