L’Oreal has said it will remove words such as “whitening” from its skin care products, in the wake of global protests against racism.

The French cosmetics giant said 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 which have faced criticism in the wake of the death of George Floyd , who died in police custody in Minneapolis.
