Dove is a globally recognized personal care brand best known for its moisturizing 'Beauty Bar' and range of skin and hair care products. Originally introduced in the United States in 1957 by Lever Brothers, the brand revolutionized the market by offering a cleansing bar that contained one-quarter moisturizing cream, distinguishing it from traditional drying soaps.

Today, Dove is a cornerstone of the Unilever portfolio. As of 2026, Unilever has focused its strategic growth on its 'Power Brands,' which include Dove, following a major corporate restructuring that involved hiving off its food and ice cream divisions to specialize in beauty, wellness, and personal care. This shift aims to strengthen Dove's position as a leader in sustainable and skin-friendly personal care.

Manufacturing for Dove products is distributed across a large global network to ensure supply chain resilience and local market efficiency. Primary production facilities are located in the United States, Germany, Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Thailand. In Europe, significant manufacturing and distribution are handled by Unilever entities in Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands. Each facility adheres to uniform global quality standards to maintain the brand's reputation for gentle, nourishing skincare.
