For ultra-sensitive skin, mineral sunscreen vs. chemical sunscreen? I'm conflicted.

For sensitive skin, mineral vs. chemical...? I'm torn 😢
My skin is really sensitive, so I'm the type who gets breakouts even if I just change one cosmetic product. I seem to react particularly sensitively to sunscreen, so I can't use just any product.
But lately, while choosing a sunscreen, I'm debating whether mineral or chemical sunscreens are better.
They say mineral sunscreens are less irritating to the skin, but there are also many complaints about them leaving a strong white cast and feeling thick...
Organic sunscreens are easy to apply and spread clearly, but I'm worried because I heard they can cause breakouts on sensitive skin.
There are a lot of inorganic+organic hybrid sunscreens these days, but I'm not sure how those products are... 😵💫
For those of you with sensitive skin, what sunscreen are you using?
Could you possibly recommend any products that you liked?
I am also curious which one was less irritating, mineral or chemical sunscreen.

- 02CommentsI saw comments saying that washing your face with a showerhead is irritating, so I try to wash it separately at the sink whenever possible. T_T But if it's a hassle, I just wash my face while showering...1554126.10.07
