BMH UK: There are few if any black or Asian people who have not at some point been forced to use plasters and bandages that contrast conspicuously with their natural brown skin tones.

YnotPlast products include bandages and first aid kits for home and leisure as well as sticking plasters for minor cuts and grazes in five natural shades of mocha, cocoa, caramel, bronze and honey.
