What do you get when you combine science, skincare savvy and the silver screen? We’ve been waiting to spill the tea! Theanswer is a little something we like to call Neutrogena Studios, the first-ever brand-funded content studio from Johnson& Johnson Consumer Inc. We believe that beauty begins with healthy skin.

This is where Neutrogena Studios comes in. What better way to do this than through storytelling and entertainment? (We can’tthink of one.) To kick it all off, we’re debuting our first documentary called “In the Sun” to ignite conversations aboutskin health and sun safety for all. “In the Sun” was championed by the inimitable Emmy award-winning actress and Neutrogena®brand ambassador Kerry Washington who served as executive producer.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, more people in the U.S. are diagnosed with skin cancer each year than all othercancers combined. There’s never been a better time to help you preserve and protect your skin. “In the Sun” offers an intimatelook at the personal skin health journeys of seven families. Each family faces extraordinary circumstances as they uncoverthe effects of living vibrant lives in the sun. The documentary was filmed with the mission to dispel common misconceptionsabout skin health through real stories that cross generational, racial and gender barriers. Expert Los Angeles-based dermatologistDr. Shirley Chi helped lead the film’s development. Keep your eyes peeled for more details coming soon (hint: Tribeca FilmFestival).
