DeepDermTox
A deep-learning platform in development to detect toxic and counterfeit cosmetics — including skin-lightening creams laced with mercury, hydroquinone, and hidden steroids — before they reach the people they harm.
Our Efforts
This initiative pairs rigorous research with public education — because no one should be told that their skin tone is a problem to be fixed.
Our Efforts
Awareness alone is not enough. This initiative pairs rigorous science with public education to make skin health safer and more equitable — and to dismantle the idea that any complexion needs fixing.
A deep-learning platform in development to detect toxic and counterfeit cosmetics — including skin-lightening creams laced with mercury, hydroquinone, and hidden steroids — before they reach the people they harm.
Pairing analytical chemistry, mathematics, and medical AI to map how unregulated lightening products move through markets and bodies, and to surface the evidence regulators and the public need.
Turning peer-reviewed findings into clear, accessible awareness — so the true cost of the global skin-lightening industry is understood by the communities it affects most.
Working toward a future where no product, ad, or norm tells a person their skin tone is a problem to be fixed — and where safer, more equitable skin health is the baseline everywhere.
