Dove original beauty cream bar

Dove is one of the most iconic personal care brands in the world, renowned for its 'Original Beauty Cream Bar' which was first introduced in the United States in 1957. Developed by the Lever Brothers (now part of Unilever), the product revolutionized the market by positioning itself not as a soap, but as a 'beauty bar' containing one-quarter moisturizing cream to prevent skin dryness.

Over the decades, the brand has expanded from a single cleansing bar into a global powerhouse encompassing hair care, deodorants, and body lotions. It is well-known for its 'Campaign for Real Beauty,' which promotes body positivity and features real women instead of professional models.

Today, Dove is a cornerstone of Unilever’s portfolio. While it originated in the US, it is manufactured in several locations globally to serve over 150 markets. For the European and UK markets, production is often centered in Germany and Poland, though the brand maintains a massive manufacturing footprint across North America, Latin America, and Asia.
