“Dove advocates for a cruelty-free society, which is why it does not test its products on animals. It is proud to say that for over three decades, it has kept its products at their best through the use of non-animal approaches.”
Dove is owned by Unilever which is not a cruelty-free brand. If you prefer avoiding brands owned by a company that tests on animals, we recommend avoiding Dove.

Dove is cruelty-free but not 100% vegan, meaning that some of their products contain animal-derived ingredients.
We contact brands directly with our questions in order to get their full animal testing policy. If brands answer all our questions and confirm that no animal testing is happening at any point during production and beyond, they're added to our cruelty-free list. All brands we add have confirmed the information above.
