Skin whitening creams have been banned in Ivory Coast because they are a threat to human health.

BBC reports that announcing the ban, the Ivory Coast health ministry said, "cosmetic lightening and hygiene creams... that de-pigment the skin... are now forbidden".

Whitening creams have become a norm in most African countries mostly due to improved perception of light skinned persons.
