The deodorant and sunscreen might not be completely white, and then they both will collect dirt as you wear them making them dirtier than they should be. And since most white shirts are actually neon white (dyed with a blue florescent dye to make them appear whiter) this slightly less white sunscreen or deodorant will appear brown in comparison.
