Unilever Bangladesh Limited, the manufacturer of the Fair & Lovely brand skin cream, has said Fair & Lovely does not contain any quantity of hydroquinone or steroids in any form whatsoever and all the ingredients contained in the cream are absolutely safe for its intended use, says a press release.

The company release came following a press report that implies that Fair & Lovely contains unsafe and harmful ingredients such as hydroquinone or steroids, leading to skin disorders.

It is a patented formulation and has been in the market for over 25 years, added the release.
