Dove animal testing policy

We have enacted a policy to prohibit and stop animal testing, anywhere in the world. And our products will now carry PETA’s cruelty-free logo, something we are phasing in across all our packaging progressively from next year, to assure and inform our customers that Dove does not, and will not, test on animals. Our parent company, Unilever, has announced that it supports calls to ban animal testing globally, similar to the existing EU ban.”
