AN environmental and health group on Saturday scored the proliferation of advertisements by third party sellers at online shopping websites for banned mercury-laden skin lightening products from Pakistan.

Despite being banned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ads for 'Goree Beauty Cream with Lycopene with SPF 30 Avocado & Aloe Vera” and “Goree Day & Night Whitening Cream” can be seen at Lazada and OLX online shopping platforms, the EcoWaste Coalition said.
