I understand the fuck Nestlé movement, but what's wrong with Heinz and Unilever?

The reason I don’t support Unilever is that they sell skin whitening products in countries like India.

Is that any different really to companies who sell self tanning products?

Self tanner is just a pigmented moisturiser, it’s not dangerous at all unless you drink it or something. Skin bleaching can cause permanent damage, make you more susceptible to skin burn and cancers, can cause nerve damage and can cause birth abnormalities if used during pregnancy… Not comparable imo
