The Product “In 1957, the Dove Beauty Bar was introduced in the US. It promised women that it wouldn’t dry their skin the way soap did. Women tried it. And it didn’t. Thus began a very trusting and lasting relationship between the brand and its users.” ( www.unilever.com.ph/brands/personalcarebrands/dove.aspx) This product of Unilever Global Company is used to replace soap in taking care of women’s skin. With its patented blend of mild cleansers and ¼ moisturizing cream, Dove Beauty bar is known all over the world for its quality. In over 80 countries, including in the Philippines, Dove has consistently delivered its promise of smooth and beautiful skin. With its social mission,” Imagine a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety.”, Dove has a long term goal to widen the definition of beauty from the stereotypical society. Using non-model in their advertisements is one of their ways in achieving this goal.
