Can we normalize the grey and purple haze of sunscreen?

I’m realizing, for melanated ppl, finding a GOOD mineral/physical sunscreen with sufficient titanium dioxide AND zinc oxide, without leaving a cast, is futile.

I’m cool with appearing ashy for sun protection skincare.

Here’s why it matters, especially for hyperpigmentation common to Black skin. https://www.essence.com/beauty/skin/this-key-ingredient-protects-skin-from-hyperpigmentation/">https://www.essence.com/beauty/sk...

Versed is next on my list to try. It has zinc oxide and claims there’s no ashy residue. $22 for 1.7 oz is disappointing. https://www.realself.com/news/best-sunscreens-for-melasma-hyperpigmenation">https://www.realself.com/news/best...

This is where I’ll likely end up (untinted). It’s pricey but dermatologist approved.

This video is super helpful of a Black dermatologist’s review. The last 3 listed have the zinc oxide protection. https://youtu.be/prNn0rMT2cE ">https://youtu.be/prNn0rMT2...
