"Blog 4: Brand History of DOVE"

Dove soaps were created by an American chemist named Vincent Lamberti and are the trademark goods of Dove, a personal care company based in the United Kingdom. Dove products are manufactured in the United States, South Africa, Turkey, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Australia, Argentina, Egypt, Indonesia, Germany, Japan, China, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Poland, Philippines, Ireland, and the Netherlands, all of which are owned by Unilever.

Dove has become synonymous with soap bars— you can't separate the two. Dove was ahead of its time in the cleaning domain, despite their late start in soap development compared to other major beauty brands (the company was started in 1957). Dove swiftly carved out a niche in the soap market by developing a soap that hydrated rather than dried skin. Their high-quality and dependable goods earned them consumer trust. When looking over Dove's product selection, you'll notice that makeup and cosmetic supplements aren't included. This is because Dove promotes the acceptance of one's own body and discourages the use of make-up, concealers, or cover-ups. 

Dove has always tried to stand out rather than blend in when it comes to personal care products. Dove Beauty Bar, launched by Lever Brothers in 1957, was the first Dove-branded soap. Dove's soap ads reflected similar efforts to stand out, saying that Dove soap was much better for your skin' than conventional soap because of its mildness and the presence of 'one-quarter washing cream.' 'Suddenly soap is old-fashioned!' and 'Dove creams your skin while you wash' were among the taglines that appeared in Dove advertising.



Dove soon distinguished itself from the competition by developing soap that hydrated rather than dried out the skin. Dove's commitment to producing high-quality products for its customers was obvious from the beginning. Dove quickly established a reputation for being a trustworthy personal care brand. Dove grew slowly, adding new products to its personal care portfolio one at a time. Dove now sells hair products as well as skincare, bathing, and antiperspirant/deodorant.

Dove's Real Beauty Campaign, which reinforced the brand's philosophy of appreciating the natural body, debuted in 2004. They were one of the first multinational corporations to embrace the concept of body positivity and to prioritize self-care and self-love over social expectations. Dove always looked to be ahead of the curve, and even the brand's marketing has shown this time and time again. Dove's packaging evolved over time to mirror its logo images, which evoked simplicity, elegance, and tenderness. The Dove brand has become simpler to recognize over time, and it is today tough to miss in a supermarket aisle crowded with other personal care goods.
