[MISC] Mineral Sunscreen is Not for Everyone

Beauty Tips For Body Care
One thing that’s been annoying me lately is the push for mineral-only sunscreens. I understand the potential harm to coral reefs but as a POC with dark, oily skin, I cannot wear most mineral sunscreens. (And forget about the drugstore options.)This is just another example of the lack of inclusiveness in the beauty / skincare space. Apprently, being darker skinned and unwilling to have a greasy and/or white cast over your skin means that you don’t care about the environment.If the environment was so important, perhaps a formulation of dark-skin friendly mineral sunscreen should be the priority instead of shaming people who are unable to blend a thick, white, goopy mineral sunscreen on their facial complexion. But of course, the rhetoric prevails over the actions.
