The 22.75% zinc oxide formula is exceptionally thick, which keeps it from sliding into the eyes during application but feels noticeably heavy on skin. Gurus split on whether that tradeoff is worthwhile: the eye-safe application appealed to some, while others found the overall weight not worth the benefit. Anyone who gravitates toward lighter formulas may want to sample this first.
