So.. Unilever is in hot waters atm because it won’t stop selling its line of skin lightening cosmetic products Fair & Lovely
It’s probably noteworthy to say that Johnson & Johnson has recently announced it will stop marketing any skin whitening/lightening products.
Personally, I think the debate really boils down to the kind of advertisement that Unilever has been using for the past 55 years to market its products in India and other markets.
They rely on colonialist attitudes towards race and skin colour as well as on emotional blackmail, which I find really troubling.
I’m also quite conflicted on how and why we can continue allowing Unilever to appear ethical and moral in the West when it continues to engage in such morally dubious practices in developing countries?
I’m looking forward to hearing what you guys think
