Hi there, I will point this out to someone on Monday. First I can assure you that, obviously, something offensive was not intended. I will point this out to someone on Monday. As many of you know I worked as a makeup artist for 10 years. One thing to keep in mind is the cosmetic industry. Here are some common names for cosmetic colors for light women: Porcelain Bisque Angel White Purity Winter Wheat Honey Suckle etc... Here are some comon names for cosmetic colors for dark women: Brown Sugar Coffee Cinnimon Stick Fudge Raisin Mocha Moonlight Forbidden etc... Lots of names that descibe skin tones refer to food. Brown Sugar is a food. I think our sensitivity to it is because it is sexy and was used in some films in the 70's. Wasn't it also a song? I don't think that is the case with this product. I think Dark Continent of Africa is really the same as saying "The Tanned Skin beaches of California" or "The Rosey faced landscapes of Ireland". But I will point this email out to someone on Monday.
