What is Dove?

Dove has been established since the 1940's providing a solution for quality skin care and beauty products. Dove specializes in soaps and has moved to hair care, other body applications and promoting women's self-esteem through various campaigns.

Dove claims to leave your skin soft and moisturized while other bars do not. In my opinion, this is true. I have been using nothing but Dove for years and I've never had to switch. I've also tried the hair care products and they actually do what they say: leave my hair feeling soft and healthy.
