About & Our Mission
Our Mission
Neutrogena and The American Society for Dermatological Surgery have partnered on the Choose Skin Health™ campaign to encourage and empower the public to follow healthy sun-safe behaviors, including monthly self-skin examinations, getting an annual skin cancer screening and protecting skin from the sun, such as daily use of sunscreen.
This year alone, more than 1 million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. It’s time to look differently at the relationship between your skin and the sun. We invite you to join the Neutrogena® Choose Skin Health™ campaign to spread the word and help fight the skin cancer epidemic.
About Neutrogena
At Neutrogena, we care about our sunscreens and the people who use them. Because sunscreen should be a critical part of sun avoidance practice to help prevent skin cancer, we are dedicated to creating sun protection that’s both efficacious and satisfying to use. As science advances we continue to innovate, bringing the latest breakthroughs in sunscreen technology from our labs to your home. This passion for suncare and skin cancer prevention is a driving force behind the research and product development activities of Neutrogena scientists. Here are some of their thoughts on the importance of the Neutrogena® Choose Skin Health™ cause:
“You only have one skin, and it has a memory like an elephant. It accumulates and shows your past damage in its appearance and texture. While topical creams and treatments can help reverse some of these visual signs of sun damage, there is still residual damage deep in the skin that cannot be removed. One of the best ways to treat this is to prevent it from happening in the first place with a comprehensive skin protection program that includes consistent broad spectrum UV protection. You will not only look younger and more attractive, but you may also substantially delay and may even help prevent the occurrence of skin cancer. Sunscreening products for recreational use and daily moisturizers with SPF protection come in many forms and the aesthetic properties are so much better now that there is no excuse not to use them regularly to help keep your skin protected and able to maintain its original beauty.“

“You must protect what protects you. Skin has a hugely important function of protecting our bodies so we must take good care of it. We have more control over keeping our skin healthy than we give ourselves credit. Having glowing healthy skin is something that is achievable for everyone. It starts with protecting yourself from the harmful effects of the sun, including the diligent use of daily broad spectrum sun protection. Neutrogena® Choose Skin Health™ is about taking deliberate action to empower yourself to take the right steps to protect your skin. Doing so will provide you with beautiful benefits today along with a healthy future. As Senior Director of Scientific Affairs for Neutrogena I am personally responsible for making sure Neutrogena® sun products perform exceptionally well offering the best solution for consumers and their families. Our scientists go beyond the standard testing requirements to study sun protection on a deeper level, investigating invisible damage beneath the skin as well as surface effects, so when you support skin health with Neutrogena® sun products you get protection that is safe, proven effective and enjoyable to use.”
