Everyone's situation is different. I personally find I'm able to get
by without sunscreen (I did burn my back recently but that was because
I was stubbornly finishing some transplanting before going inside or
putting on a shirt), but if I had to work outside all day in a brutal
climate like, say, Florida, I'd look into the least-toxic ones
available. What I think is unnecessary is swathing babies and kids
with tons of sunscreen and never letting their skin be exposed to the
sun. People go too far one way or the often, it seems.

I can't remember where I read it or the details, unfortunately, but
the gist was that eating enough of the proper fats is necessary to
protect the skin from the inside. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
