Neutrogena, America’s #1 facial skincare brand, today announced the launch of its first-ever brand content studio, Neutrogena Studios, along with the of its first documentary short, titled In the Sun, which is Executive Produced by Emmy Award Winning Actress Kerry Washington.

The content studio will provide an innovative medium to tell compelling stories that educate about the science behind skin health, celebrate healthy skin for all, and inspire people to action.

The first project, In the Sun is a poignant and inspiring documentary that lets viewers follow the skin health journeys of seven families facing extraordinary circumstances as they navigate the long-term effects of living life in the sun, while still living vibrant lives.

According to the World Health Organization, one in every three cancers diagnosed across the globe is a skin cancer. Moreover, skin cancer affects all races, ages and ethnicities with diagnoses increasing each year.

This documentary short comes at a critical moment, delivering key information and dispelling common misconceptions around skin health and sun safety through real stories that span across generation, race and gender, led by the expertise of Los Angeles-based dermatologist Dr. Shirley Chi. 

In the Sun is a powerful example of the impact that real stories, shot from a diverse range of perspectives, can have on inspiring necessary health outcomes. I’m looking forward to sharing this educational documentary short in collaboration with Neutrogena in order to raise awareness around self-care, skin health, and sun safety. And I am excited about what narratives are yet to come, in the future, from Neutrogena Studios,”  says Brand Ambassador and film Executive Producer, Kerry Washington. Watch the trailer below:
