Unilever's 'Fair & Lovely' to get makeover after backlash

“We recognise that the use of the words ‘fair’, ‘white’ and ‘light’ suggest a singular ideal of beauty that we don’t think is right, and we want to address this,” said Sunny Jain, president of Unilever’s beauty and personal care division.

Unilever’s India unit, in which the company owns a 67% stake, said it had shifted from such marketing in 2019 and would continue to evolve it to feature women of different skin tones.Several users on Twitter applauded the move, though some said it was too little, too late. Davuluri on Tuesday wrote an open letter to Unilever CEO Alan Jope, urging him to stop production of the products.

In 2018, the company also registered trademarks to market skincare and haircare products under the brand names “Even & Lovely”, “Always Lovely”, “Care & Lovely” and “I Am Lovely”, among others.

aamnaisani So it's 'what & lovely'

aamnaisani Mam please review movie Bulbbul (netflix).....what a movie

This IS a dangerous skincare..ShouldBeBanned

all this madness gone too far XD dont blame the products, monuments, and some stuffs. but blame the mindset of the people. really. and btw, remove that 'white-black' word thing. it's just a US people thing to call people. if u all still use that word, u r one of the racists.

¿ and the tanning lotions? Oh God

How about we let the Asians do their thing? You're only reporting this cos you can use a racism angle. Being a pasty arse bitch myself, I don't see the appeal. But damn, those not melanin deficient seem to think pasty is the best thing since sliced bread. Don't blame me for this

Never thought about name before, but Wow!! It's just so insidious.

Get Woke Go Broke
