Yup.. the profit pocket has to remain full.

And what are companies doing about 'tanning' and 'bronzer' products?

It’s basic supply and demand.

And that’s why Unilever and Loreal are starting to look like hypocrites. The name change is just a farce. JNJCares so far has done great with killing such products, though they too are hypocrites for selling talc powder outside of NA,

It's almost like their wokeness is only, skindeep.

And this is what it takes for changes in America..smh.

Should this be called black wash or lib wash after all the green wash these companies have been doing because of their client profile before?

It's favorable to non-whites. Why is that?

That just proves to me this capitalistic society is totally fucked up in the head.

why does a guy need a fairness cream?! f

Woke bollocks.
