Dove Shea Butter Beauty Bar

Dove is a globally recognized personal care brand that originated in the United States in 1957. It was founded by the Lever Brothers (now part of Unilever) with the introduction of its signature 'Beauty Bar,' which was formulated with one-quarter moisturizing cream to differentiate it from traditional soaps.

Today, Dove is a flagship brand of the multinational consumer goods company Unilever. While the brand has American roots, its manufacturing is highly decentralized to serve global markets. For the Canadian market, products are often manufactured in the United States or locally, while other global supplies come from the UK, Germany, and Brazil. Unilever, the ultimate owner, is a British multinational company headquartered in London, overseeing a vast portfolio of nutritional, hygiene, and personal care brands.
