Project Description
Urban Skin Rx is making clinical skincare inclusive and accessible through mass Urban Skin Rx and prestige Pro StrengthTM collections
We are bringing skincare expertise for hyperpigmentation and deeper skin tones to the mass market. These claims are supported by 3rd party independent studies and industry awards
What are the Problems?
- Skin conditions such as acne, ingrown hairs, eczema, melasma and dermatitis impact melanin-rich skin differently and improper treatment of these conditions on darker skin tones can result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (“PIH”)
- Products that are formulated to treat PIH for lighter skin tones, “…may not work, because [melanin-rich skin’s] dark spots are much more pigmented and harder to improve,“ according to Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd, board-certified dermatologist and a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine
- Ingredients that generally work to fade skin discoloration may cause “ghosting” or a lightening effect around targeted areas in darker skin if not treated correctly
- The sunscreen/SPF category has not been inclusive of deeper skin tones, as most products leave a white or purple cast on skin
- 63% Of women of color feel ignored by the beauty industry
- 20% Of beauty consumers specifically seek out brands that promote diversity
- 47% Of dermatologists feel their medical training didn’t prepare them to treat Black skin
