During an interview with Ebony Magazines, the US based Nigerian/Cameroonian
Pop singer, Dencia said she came up with the lotion formula together with a
chemist from Switzerland. She claimed her aim is to help is to help people with
hyperpigmentation issues and dark spot, to have a clear skin. She stated that
it was after she had tested it on her sisters and some of her Facebook friends,
who attested to the fact that it really works, she decided to launch the brand.
“Whitenicious”, she claims does not have hydroquinone, steroids
nor mercury, which are harsh and harmful chemicals for the skin. She also
claims that she had never been a very dark skin person and that she was tanned
in the picture of her in the animal print bikini and so her skin has not
drastically lightened as the people circulating those photos had made it look.
On matters as to whether whitenicious will bleach the skin, she admitted that
it would but added that she cannot control how people use the lotion. If they
decide to buy the cream to be used as their personal body lotion, it is their
money to spend. She also claims that to the best of her knowledge, there is no
medical research to prove that whitening the skin could cause cancer and other
that if that was the case, there were also other things that causes cancer such
as the air we breathe, so we are all at risk. She claims that body lotions
cannot stop melanin because it comes from inside the body and not externally.
Her product cost up to $150 for a small container.
