Experts, might someone still use suncream this summer even though zinc is absorbed through skin?

Lots of options: There are many options for sunscreen. There are physical block that have titanium and or zinc, and chemical blocks like parsol. You should wear a broad spectrum spf 30 or higher. If you want to avoid zinc, pick a product without it.
