Campaigner Nina Davuluri, the first Indian-American to win Miss America, argued skin whitening creams sell a 'racist' ideology "that you need white skin to be beautiful, you need white skin to be successful". An investigation by The Mail on Sunday found that P&G skincare brand Olay sells White Radiance moisturiser in India, Malaysia and Singapore. P&G also reportedly sells Olay White Radiance Light Perfecting Essence in the Philippines. A statement on the Archewell website read: "Archewell Foundation believes that with community, and through compassionate service to others, we can unleash systemic cultural change. "In this partnership, Archewell Foundation and P&G will put a priority focus on gender equity."
