Last August my wife and I visited Maui, bringing a physical sunscreen (Zinc oxide based, I think). My wife put on so much that her face almost looked like a kabuki actor, and I looked only a little better. On beaches we'd see all those people in bikinis, apparently completely free of sunscreen whiteness.
"How come they aren't getting sunburned?" I wondered.
"They're using chemical sunscreens," was my wife's answer.
And that's often right next to a signpost telling people how those chemicals are killing corals.

This is why we can't have nice things.
