About Dove
Dove started its life in 1957 in the US, with the launch of the Beauty Bar, with its patented blend of mild cleansers and ¼ moisturizing cream. Dove's heritage is based on moisturization, and it is proof not promises that enabled Dove to grow from a Beauty Bar into one of the world's most beloved beauty brands.

For 60 years, Dove has been committed to broadening the narrow definition of beauty in the work they do through a series of actions, including:

Supporting diverse imagery in media and advertising via The 'Dove Real Beauty Pledge:

• Portray women with honesty, diversity and respect. We feature women of different ages, sizes, ethnicities, hair color, type and style.
• Portray women as they are in real life, with zero digital distortion and all images approved by the women they feature.
• Help young people build body confidence and self-esteem through the Dove Self-Esteem Project, the biggest provider of self-esteem education in the world.

Ending race-based hair discrimination via The CROWN Act:

• Dove co-founded the CROWN Coalition partnership in 2019 with the National Urban League, Color Of Change, and Western Center on Law & Poverty to advance The CROWN Act.
