Unilever Is Dropping The 'Fair And Lovely' Name From Its Skin Lightening Products“This product has built upon, perpetuated and benefited from internalized racism and promotes anti-Blackness sentiments amongst all its consumers.” This is dumb because skin 'brightening' is an Asian thing that existed before contact with Western beauty standards.
