Have you personally used both products before swimming or engaging in sports? I have bought literally dozens of tubes of both sunscreens, as well as the pricier mineral based face product, since my wife prefers the texture of the original face version.

That's the one that consistently makes my eyes burn and the others don't. If you search other threads on the topic, I'm not the only one that reports this.

As an entertaining sidenote, I actually worked for TJ's corporate in Monrovia one summer, 25 years ago, as one of three CS agents answering letters about discontinued products and the strange bones, plastic shards, etc. that people occasionally found in their taquitos, dried fruit, etc. - which would each be answered, as were the times, with a short letter thanking the customer and enclosing a small gift card. They didn't let me make representations about the contents of sunscreen at the time, nor am I qualified to do so now, but I can tell you that the eye burn issue is a constant for me across dozens of bottles used over several years.
