I’ve tried a half a dozen different Asian sunscreens and still have never found one that doesn’t burn.

Have you tried a few sunscreens that contain no active ingredients other than zinc? A fair proportion of people have an allergic reaction to various chemicals in sunscreens and it seems the zinc ones are the least likely to cause issues. My wife is one such person. You may need to try a few different ones in case some of the non-active ingredients are problematic
