Dove Moisturising Hand Wash

Dove is a globally recognized personal care brand best known for its moisturizing formulas and 'Real Beauty' marketing campaigns. The brand was originally created by the Lever Brothers company in the United States in 1957, following the development of a unique cleansing bar that incorporated 1/4 moisturizing cream. This innovative formula, patented by chemist Vincent Lamberti, allowed the product to clean skin without drying it out, distinguishing it from traditional soaps.

Today, Dove is a core brand in the portfolio of Unilever, a British multinational consumer goods giant. As of 2026, Unilever remains the ultimate owner of the brand, operating it within its Beauty & Wellbeing division. Due to the brand's immense global footprint, manufacturing takes place in numerous strategic facilities worldwide, including locations in Europe (such as Poland and Germany), North America, and Southeast Asia to efficiently serve local markets.

In early 2026, Unilever underwent a significant strategic transformation by agreeing to combine its food division with McCormick & Company. This move effectively repositioned Unilever as a pure-play global leader in health, beauty, and personal care. This focus allows for continued innovation and premiumization of legendary brands like Dove, ensuring they remain staples in households worldwide.
