The skincare industry has barriers that cause the needs of melanin-rich skin to be overlooked
Minimal medical training
Nearly 50% of dermatologists and dermatology residents say they were not adequately trained to treat skin conditions in people of color.
Limited educational content
In dermatology textbooks, only 10% of images illustrate dermatological diseases in dark skin.
Lack of diversity in dermatology
Only 3% of practicing dermatologists identify as Black or African-American, and only 4% identify as Hispanic.
