Description

Caro White Lightening Beauty Lotion, produced by Dream Cosmetics in Côte d’Ivoire, is designed to enhance skin radiance by combining carrot oil with vitamins A and E. These ingredients are intended to nourish the skin, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and provide deep hydration, resulting in a smoother and more luminous complexion.

Despite its popularity, Caro White has faced significant safety concerns. Analyses by regulatory bodies, including the UK’s Office for Product Safety and Standards, have detected hydroquinone levels of 4.4% in some batches, a concentration that exceeds permissible limits and poses risks such as allergic contact dermatitis. Consequently, these products have been destroyed and banned from importation .

Additionally, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) in Nigeria has issued warnings about Caro White containing kojic acid concentrations above the allowable maximum of 1%. High levels of kojic acid are linked to potential endocrine-disrupting effects, leading to further recalls and advisories against the product’s use .
