In an effort to bring about "diversity in healing," this socially conscious company is addressing adhesive bandage color. Tru-Colour Bandages want to make people with darker skin feel more comfortable in their own skin by offering band-aids in different flesh tones than just the traditional beige -- something they feel is only reflective of white people.
Founded by Toby Meisenheimer, who has two biological caucasian children and four black kids, Tru-Color Bandages intends to make people of all racial backgrounds feel their skin color is beautiful and equal. The band-aids come in light, medium and dark options.
The skin tone-matching bandage color varieties come in packs of six and are available online for purchase through Amazon.
