History[edit | edit source]

Dove was introduced by Unilever in the United States in 1957 with the iconic Dove Beauty Bar. The brand was built on the premise of moisturizing the skin, as opposed to the drying effect of regular soap. The Dove Beauty Bar was formulated with a quarter of moisturizing cream, which set it apart from other cleaning products at the time.
