Should you’re a skincare skilled, you’ve probably heard of the Fitzpatrick Scale.

Developed in 1975 by Thomas B. Fitzpatrick as a technique to measure the response of various kinds of skin to ultraviolet light, it has a numeric scale with 6 classifications various by melanin amount.

It was originally created to estimate the quantity of injury attributable to the sun to those with lighter tones, we now know that everybody needs sun protection no matter how deep their tone is. But years later, biases like this are still plaguing the skincare industry. Fortunately, a series of funding helps to bolster a recent company’s efforts to make the skincare experience more equitable.

It was recently reported that Revea recently raised greater than $6 million.

Revea is an AI-based company that’s aiming to make targeted and effective skincare available for everybody. The San Francisco company is are aiming to expand the experience through a mobile offering via Hyperspectral Imaging and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The funding will help them scale.

“It’s no secret that historically skincare product development was not representative. It was based on small, non-representative data sets and limited supply chains that would never reflect or serve the range of our world. Revea set out to alter that –to make skincare without bias. For the last three years, we have now been constructing the information and technology platform to just do that. Now we’re extending that technology even further using Hyperspectral Imaging and AI to bring our lab experience to the cell phone,” Revea Founder Chaz Giles wrote in an email interview with AfroTech.
