The important thing is that the sunscreen will need to be applied every 2 hours if you are out in the sun for a large part of the day. I usually buy something at CVS or local supermarket with a coupon -- Banana Boat, Coppertone or even Neutrogena are all equally good. Be sure to purchase one that blocks both UVA and UVB rays.

I love
Cotz Face Sunscreen for Natural Skin Tones, SPF 40
I get this from various places such as drugstore (online), Ulta, Sephora, or Walgreens.
I'm going to buy another one at Walgreens on March 1 with my 55+ age discount. I hope they have it in the store.

@ChynnaBlue I get a similar reaction if the Zinc is a high % (usually 10% or more) but I also get a similar reaction to ANY and ALL chemical sunscreens.

Skin reactions are so weird!
Zinc Oxide is the main ingredient in diaper rash ointment because it's soothing and calms redness, but there we are, it irritates us.
What have you found that works for you, @HappyDaze?
I'm good with some chemical sunscreens and not others. Some only bother me on very hot days when I'm hot and sweaty and my pores are all open. You know, the times you most want sunscreen. What a hassle!
Clarins UV HP Day Screen is a physical sunscreen I can use, but it's not broad spectrum.

I have used Skinn Daily Defense and had no issues with it but I also have Isomer's Sunscreen with UV pearls...it is very good for those sensitive to sunscreen ingredients! Here is a little bit about the Isomer's brand sunscreen...
Isomer's Sunscreen with UV pearls:
Purified Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Propylene Glycol, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Mineral Oil, Panthenol, Silica, PVP, Chlorphenesin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf extract, Ceteareth-20, Polysorbate 60, BHT, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.
Active Ingredients:
Zinc Oxide ..................................8 %
Octyl Methoxycinnamate ................7.5 %
A breakthrough in sunscreen safety. Sunscreen with UV Pearls - SPF 20, protects the skin against the harmful rays of the sun to help prevent skin damage. An effective way to protect your skin from harmful sun rays. Tiny glass beads entrap ultra violet absorbers, and keep them on the skin surface to enhance protection and skin comfort. Easy to apply.
Who is it for?
Provides excellent performance on all skin types. Does not burn or irritate the skin or eyes. Can be used by all ages.
Why is it unique?
Contains UV Pearls:
Why we use the UV Pearls – it’s not a chemical sunscreen provides physical block
Also contains Zinc
Three ingredients provide UVA protection
As a physical block, this product doesn't select between UVA and UVB - it helps protects against both.
Chemical sunscreens have a chemistry set of ingredients because none of them alone block across the UV spectrum.

Paula's Choice has reliable sunscreen SPF 30 that protects against UVB & UVA rays. QVC I know sells some, but there's a few more at her website. Cotz and Mary Kay is also good. I have had break outs in the past from facial sunscreen, but these brands don't clog my pores or break my budget.
