This doesn't have anything to do with skin types. 

It's cancel culture.  

No one's going to cancel my culture.  I'll still be using the word "normal."

Or threatening them if they don't ....

Wonder what percentage of people have "normal" skin?  I think I have some combination of oily, dry, and "normal' although I csn't think of a single skin product I ever bought because I dsaw the word normal somewhere on the label.

Well there ya go...I looked it up:

Normal skin

'Normal' is a term widely used to refer to well-balanced skin. The scientific term for well-balanced skin is eudermic. The T-zone (forehead, chin and nose) may be a bit oily, but overall sebum and moisture is balanced and the skin is neither too oily nor too dry.

Haha...Unilever's new packaging..."eudermic' 🙄

People picking up the product in the store: huh??

We'll all need to carry around new dictionaries soon.

Ridiculous is right @LuvmyLab

LOL - "eudermic" - the scientific word. Now we will all have to understand scientific jargon. I'd never heard of this word before. 

I agree with all of you- I don't plan to learn a new way to talk at my age. I just wish more people would stand up to the "woke" mob, whoever they are!

@beach-mom  No one seems happy with it so not sure how long it will last. Just ignore what you can.

@beach-mom   Talk about silly.  If your hair is not oily or dry, normal would be an acceptable choice.

Pretty soon it will all be generic labels. 

[Sweetbay magnolia]

It's a label.  What works, works.  They're hoping to appeal to a demographic and sell product, that's all.

This seems stupid to me.  Everyone knows what "normal" means.   How many have even ever heard of the word "euderrmic?"  I don't find the word "normal" offensive, even though I would not consider myself that in any sense of the word.

There seems to many answers about "normal" referring to life in general. This is posted in beauty. I think normal skin and normal hair is just that and has nothing to do with COVID. When things calm down, so will all the word changes.
