Mercury pollution
In 2001, a thermometer factory in Kodaikanal run by Hindustan
Unilever was accused of dumping glass contaminated with mercury
in municipal dumps, or selling it on to scrap merchants unable to
deal with it appropriately.

Skin lightening creams

Hindustan Unilever's "Fair and Lovely" is the leading skin-lightening

cream for women in India. The company had to cease television
advertisements for the product in 2007. Advertisements depicted
depressed, dark-complexioned women, who had been ignored by
employers and men, suddenly finding new boyfriends and glamorous
careers after the cream had lightened their skin. In 2008 Hindustan
Unilever made former Miss World Priyanka Chopra a brand
ambassador for Pond's, and she then appeared in a mini-series of
television commercials for another skin lightening product, 'White
Beauty', alongside Saif Ali Khan and Neha Dhupia; these
advertisements, showing Priyanka's face with a clearly darker
complexion against the visibly fairer Neha Dhupia, were widely
criticized for perpetuating racism and lowering the self-esteem of
women and girls throughout India who were misled by HUNL to

 Triclosan
Several academic papers have pointed out the firm's
continued use of the antibacterial agent Triclosan ('Active B')
in India because it is under review by the American Food and
Drug Administration (US FDA).
