The consumer giant brand Unilever house has announced its decision to drop 'Fair' from its skincare product Fair & Lovely following all the extensive criticism against the same.

The global consumer giant on Thursday made an announced of re-branding its skin cream brand 'Fair & Lovely.' The announcement came after the brand received a lot of criticism over the brand name and its marketing communication being offensive and negative against dark skin tones.
The statement released by the brand said that they will remove words like fair/fairness, white/whitening, and light/lightening from its products’ packaging and communication and to evolve a more inclusive vision of beauty through its renewed skincare portfolio.
