Dawn Dish Soap

Dawn is a leading brand of dishwashing detergent originally developed in the United States. Since its introduction, it has become famous for its effectiveness and its use in wildlife rescue efforts, particularly for cleaning oil from birds after spills.

The product is manufactured primarily in the United States at large-scale facilities such as those in Kansas City, Kansas, to serve the North American market. As a global brand within a massive corporate portfolio, Dawn is part of a supply chain that may involve regional manufacturing for international versions of the product.

Dawn is owned by Procter & Gamble (P&G), a multinational consumer goods corporation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. P&G has maintained ownership of the brand since its inception in the early 1970s, managing it as one of its flagship home care products.
