About White Glow Carrot Whitening Lotion
The white glow carrot whitening lotion is made by Zandas Global Resources Limited (ZGL), the popular cosmetic company that made the famous Skin Doctor lotions and toners. Many don’t know this, but this company has a successful range of skincare products that work well for Nigerian black skin even though they are based in the UK.

Does White Glow Carrot Whitening Body Lotion Contain Hydroquinone?
Yes, white glow carrot body lotion contains hydroquinone, known as 1,4-benzenediol. The company listed it as part of the ingredients used in formulating the lotion.
Is White Glow a Bleaching Cream?
Since it contains 1,4-benzenediol, which is another name for hydroquinone, for people with melanin skin, this lotion can constrain or prevent the melanin production in your skin which is likewise considered skin bleaching.
Is White Glow Carrot a Good Lotion?
The white glow carrot whitening lotion may not be popular. Still, it’s a lotion that gradually lightens the skin due to the formulation of skin-lightening ingredients used in making it. These lightening ingredients are lactic acid, 1,4-benzenediol, Citric acid, and ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C). Although the company claimed it contains calamansi (lime), which is the active ingredient, it’s not listed in the ingredients list except ascorbic acid, which is different from lime.
Even though the name of the lotion contains ‘carrot’, there is also no carrot or carrot extract on the ingredients list. It truly contains sunscreen as advertised, which is the Octyl Methoxycinnamate (chemical sunscreen), but we don’t know the percentage of sunscreen in it. So, which means, the percentage may not be enough to protect you from the sun since it contains lightening agents.
Also, from my answer above, we have come to understand that it contains hydroquinone (which is not completely bad). However, we don’t know the percentage of hydroquinone available in it. It would have been best if the company listed the percentage of its customers wanting to use the product.
Many people do not know that the name 1,4-benzenediol means hydroquinone (this is why it’s very important to research the ingredients list in your lotion and its meaning before purchasing because sometimes, some cosmetic companies are not transparent enough.)

How to Use the White Glow Carrot Whitening Lotion
Creams and lotions that contain hydroquinone are to be used with caution because, in the beginning, they may beautify your skin but later cause additional skin damage that is served to treat.
- Do not use this cream with a whitening soap or shower gel. Using soap with melanin inhibitors (whitening agents) and a lotion with melanin inhibitors together will wear out your skin and thin it out. Instead, use it with a gentle moisturizing soap or shower gel and or goat milk shower gel.
- Do not use it every day in a week or for a whole year. You have to substitute it with a lotion that ONLY moisturizes the skin because hydroquinone is not recommended for use throughout the year.
- After your bath, rub it on damp skin.
- You can seal it with a glow body oil to prevent dry skin.
- You MUST wear additional sunscreen in the morning before going out, even.
There are better ways to achieve beautiful, even brighter skin tone and glowing skin without lotions that are too harsh on the skin.
