Dove brand values

About Dove

For over 60 years, we've been committed to creating products that deliver real care for all women and challenging narrow beauty ideals.

Our Story

Dove started its journey in 1957 with the revolutionary beauty bar, a blend of mild cleansers and ¼ moisturizing cream that was the first of its kind. Unlike ordinary soap, Dove wouldn't dry skin but would leave it feeling soft and smooth.

Today, Dove offers a range of products including body washes, hand and body lotions, facial cleansers, deodorants, shampoos, conditioners and hair styling products, all developed with our commitment to quality and real beauty at their heart.

In 2004, we launched the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty – a groundbreaking campaign that celebrated the natural physical variation embodied by all women and inspired them to have the confidence to be comfortable with themselves.
