Dove (brand)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dove is a soap and personal care brand (including hair care products) owned by Unilever. Dove soap is formulated to be pH neutral, with a pH that is usually between 6.5 and 7.5.
Dove products are manufactured in Hammond, Indiana, Germany, and Brazil. The Dove trade mark and brand name is currently owned by Unilever.
Dove's logo is a dove, the colour of which often varies.
Dove's products include: anti-perspirants/deodorants, body washes, beauty bars, lotions/moisturizers, hair care and facial care products.
The bar forms of Dove are currently produced in the cool moisture, exfoliating, sensitive skin, nutrium nourishing, white, pink, unscented, calming night, and energy glow versions.
In 2006, Dove started the Dove Self-Esteem Fund. The stated goal of the fund is to change the West's concept of beauty from ultra-thin models with perfect features to making every girl (and woman) feel positive about their looks, no matter what they are. They kicked off the program with a short film that chronicled the transformation of a model from an average looking woman to one with supermodel looks, showing all the steps that have to be taken (including extensive photo manipulation) to achieve the look. The film was widely distributed on the Internet (including Dove's fund's site) and in the media, and was also shown on the popular morning show Good Morning America. Dove soap normally "fizzes" and foams under hot water more quickly than cold water.
