Band-Aid is creating a range of bandages that "embrace the beauty of diverse skin," including hues that better match the skin tones of black and brown customers.

"We stand in solidarity with our black colleagues, collaborators and community in the fight against racism, violence and injustice," Band-Aid said on Instagram. "We are committed to taking actions to create tangible change for the Black community."This isn't the first time Band-Aid has launched multiracial bandages.
