This animation video focuses on educating communities of color about Steroid exposure from skin-lightening products to raise awareness of the health and psychological impact of these toxic products. The lack of culturally specific and sensitive educational materials, social pressures, and lack of solid regulation systems that can regulate those toxic chemicals all contribute to this issue. The purpose of these animations is to address the root causes of skin-lightening use, including colorism and other harmful cultural practices. Uplift and communicate messages of diverse beauty standards and community strength while communicating specific information about health harms from chemicals.
