Johnson & Johnson has been one of a number of companies, such as L'Oreal, Procter & Gamble and Unilever, that sell these kinds of products. Here, a store keeper in Mumbai, India, is shown taking stock of beauty and whitening products.Johnson & Johnson has announced it will discontinue two lines of skin-lightening products popular in Asia, making it one of the latest major companies to change business tactics seen as racist amid the global debate over racial inequality.
"Conversations over the past few weeks highlighted that some product names or claims on our Neutrogrena and Clean & Clear dark spot reducer products represent fairness or white as better than your own unique skin tone," Johnson & Johnson said in a statement emailed to NPR."This was never our intention – healthy skin is beautiful skin."
The consumer products giant says they will no longer sell the Neutrogena Fine Fairness line, sold only in Asia and the Middle East, and the Clean & Clear Fairness line, sold only in India.

WOW!!! ASIA 32 2. BILLIONS WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT WAS LUCRATIVE!!!?
That is used on scars and such too ya know !
It's about time end promotion of low self-esteem skin lighting products. We are all dearly and wonderfully made in the image of our higher power identified in my life as God. What if we healed the nation instead of playing politics with lives. The world is watching.
Why? If people wanna pull a Michael Jackson then let them...who cares!!!!!! Make it stop!!!!
People don't get to make up their own minds, companies do it for them.
When you’re white you’re alright, when you’re brown, you can hang around but when you’re black, stay back! Just a little something that I grew up with!
Beyonce is going to be devastated.
LOL! So, it’s popular with Asians and they take it off the market, And a bunch of people bloviate about colonialism. LOL!
so sad for the black professional class. Corporate tells them how to dress, how to look white and they buy it hook line and sinker
NPR falsely accused a woman being mobbed and attacked in her car, who drove off and hit a person, as a 'RIGHT WING'. There were people in a building filming her attackers trying to drag her out and beat her. NPR ARE LIARS.
Their call. I don’t think I would give up that much profit when the product is not, in and of itself, disrespectful to anyone. If people want to lighten their skin...whatever. More power to Johnson and Johnson though!
Why? If people want those creams, and since they're making that much money people do, then why discontinue them? Are they stopping bronzers? How about hair products that African Americans use to make their hair more 'white'? Let people do what they want with their body/hair/skin.
I am sure their competitors are happy about this. Also why does this bother so many people? (rhetorical question) If you don't like it don't do it. Pretty simple.
How many shades of orange are available?
White people cook in the sun to be dark and dark people try to lighten their skin. People are never satisfied.
Is bronzer next?
Who cares?
They’ll spin it off no doubt.
You dimwits! 😂🤣
Johnson and Johnson also announced free skin-darkening products for everyone.
Fuck Fair and Lovely
Ya done messed up now !!! Aunt Jemima....uncle Ben....skin toner ? It's on.
kpop stans might have found their trigger line
That's ok. Another product will roll in take its place.
That cream whitewashes history
Skin darkening is a faux pas too. Makeup companies are screwed!
In China I could not find a face cream w/oskin lightening
That's an awful lot on Trump's collar
What about skin darkening products, like various make ups?
