Another Johnson & Johnson brand, Band-Aid, also recently announced changes to their lineup of products which will now include a wider range of bandages that feature deeper shades of brown and black skin tones.

\"We are dedicated to inclusivity and providing the best healing solutions, better representing you,\" the brand captioned a photo revealing the new offerings.

In addition to Johnson & Johnson, several other brands have been making efforts to create inclusive changes within their product ranges.
