Dove Frizz Protect & Smooth Hairspray

Brand History and Origin

Dove was launched in 1957 in the United States by the Lever Brothers company. It gained global recognition through its revolutionary 'Beauty Bar,' which focused on moisturizing rather than just cleansing. Over the decades, Dove has expanded its portfolio from skin cleansing to include hair care, deodorants, and body lotions, becoming one of the most recognized personal care brands worldwide.

Manufacturing and Availability

Dove products are manufactured in a vast global network of facilities to meet high demand across different regions. For the North American market, particularly Canada and the US, manufacturing typically takes place in the United States and Canada, though specialized formulations may be produced in Europe or other international Unilever hubs. This specific Frizz Protect & Smooth hairspray is a staple in Canadian retail, formulated to address specific hair care needs with its flexible hold technology.

Ownership and Corporate Structure

Dove is a flagship brand of Unilever, a multinational consumer goods giant. Originally a joint venture between British and Dutch entities, Unilever is now a unified British company following corporate restructuring. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, Unilever continues to lead the brand's global strategy, focusing on sustainability and its 'Real Beauty' campaign. In Canada, the brand is managed by Unilever Canada Inc., the local subsidiary based in Toronto.
