Our vision is to end skin-lightening practices and chemical exposures. Individuals live a healthy lifestyle and embrace their identity and culture.
About the Project
The Beautywell Database is a database created by the Beautywell Project to address the problems related to skin-lightening products, chemical exposures, and colorism.
This database contains skin-lightening products that Beautywell tested in labs and identifies harmful ingredients that pose significant risks to an individual’s health. The database also includes products tested by other organizations and government agencies in the U.S. and globally. This database is beneficial for communities that are disproportionately affected by these issues. It provides essential information about harmful ingredients in skin-lightening products that are not written or displayed on the labels.
By making people aware of the risks, this database empowers communities of color to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. This resource equips communities of color with the knowledge to advocate for safer beauty practices and stricter regulation within the cosmetic industry.
