We are committed to taking actions to create tangible change for the Black community.⁣"

⁣"We are committed to launching a range of bandages in light, medium and deep shades of Brown and Black skin tones that embrace the beauty of diverse skin," they continued. "We are dedicated to inclusivity and providing the best healing solutions, better representing you.⁣" The bandage brand also announced that they'll be putting their money where their mouth is. "In addition, we will be making a donation to Black Lives Matter.⁣ We promise that this is just the first among many steps together in the fight against systemic racism.⁣ We can, we must and we will do better."
