(AP) PARIS – French cosmetics giant L’Oreal 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.”
L’Oreal’s 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 Floyd’s death following his arrest in Minneapolis.
Earlier this month, L’Oreal tweeted that it “stands in solidarity with the Black community and against injustice of any kind. … Speaking out is worth it.”

I quit using L’Oreal skin and hair products several years ago when I found out they are mainly based in Canada-I buy American whenever I can-plenty of cheaper brands that are just as good or better than woke L’Oreal...

blacking good

Yes-I know it is French-but I assumed they had their main facility in North America in the US, like so many other cosmetic houses do in someplace like NY or California. The 1st time I ordered a L’Oreal product online-I noticed that it had shipped from Canada and the package had info in both English and Quebecois/Canadian French-so next time I wanted that product, I chose another brand I know ships and is made in the US-also, unlike a lot of other products, there is not a huge price difference on cosmetic/hair products made outside the US and those made here-so I buy American...
