(AP) PARIS French cosmetics giant LOreal said Saturday that it will remove words like whitening from its skin care products, a move that comes amid global protests against racism sparked by the death of George Floyd in the United States.
The company said in a statement Saturday that it has decided to remove the words white/whitening, fair/fairness, light/lightening from all its skin evening products.
LOreals decision follows a similar move by Anglo-Dutch firm Unilever on Thursday. It is among a number of companies that have been the target of criticism in the wake of Floyds death following his arrest in Minneapolis.
Earlier this month, LOreal tweeted that it stands in solidarity with the Black community and against injustice of any kind.
Speaking out is worth it.

No more White Christmases anymore. Oh hell, in most Democrat run places you can’t even say Christmas either.
I am deeply offended by that phrase. And its not because Im white. Its because I am, in fact, an elephant.
Because we all know these useless gestures will do absolutely nothing to help the black community. It’s just a bunch of liberal white morons acting stupid. They don’t really want to help black people. That would mean they would have to go against the liberal agenda.

I think it will happen again.
The bottom line is ALWAYS money and right now companies think doing this nonsense will get them more business.
When they’re feel the blow back and realize how much it is HURTING their business, “whitening” will once again be a word they use.
