Both has its own upside & downside. Mineral sunscreen is best for sensitive skin & enviromentally safe (reef-safe). But it tends to give whitecast & its hard to find one with high SPF / UV protection. Chemical sunscreen isnt the best choice for oily skin since it could potentially clog your pores. It rarely gives you whitecast, but it could sting around the eyes (especially if you're sweating / use it in the pool). I would recommend you to start with Anessa. They have a pretty wide range of choices with different texture & finish.
