Dove’s Post

Beauty never gets old – as demonstrated by our iconic community 💙 ‘Beauty Never Gets Old’ proudly showcases real portraits and celebrates our long-time Beauty Bar users. Why? Because for 67 years, the Dove Beauty Bar has been a generational icon in the routines of women of all ages, all over the world. Today, 66% of women feel pressure to look young. Let’s change beauty, break down beauty barriers and normalize every gray hair, wrinkle and laugh line. Are you with us? #BeautyNeverGetsOld #Dove #LetsChangeBeauty #UniquelyUnilever

We're excited to celebrate the 5th National CROWN Day! Join us and the CROWN Coalition to celebrate the beauty of Black hair and help end race-based hair discrimination nationwide.   You can take action and join the movement by showcasing your #CROWNLove on social media and signing the official CROWN Act petition at Dove.com/CROWN 

It's been 20 years since launch of our Campaign for Real Beauty and our work is not done yet. From our biggest ever study of beauty around the world, we know that women and girls still feel huge pressure to be a certain type of beautiful. And that one of the biggest threats to the representation of real beauty is #AI, which is predicted to be 90% of the content online by 2025. AI-generated content is perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards and lacks representation; even when women and girls know the images they see are fake or AI-generated, still 1 in 3 feel pressure to alter their appearance.   The work that Dove began 20 years ago is more important than ever. That’s why today, we are renewing our vows to Real Beauty and committing to never using AI to create or distort women's images in our ads. And we are taking action to equip people, creators, and brands using AI to make the most of it when exploring and generating Real Beauty with our #RealBeautyPromptPlaybook: a free tool to create visual content that widens the representation of beauty on the most popular GenAI tools. While Dove and creators cannot change the pre-existing biases of the data AI uses to generate images, we can help to change the generated images outcome through the power of the prompt. Let’s #KeepBeautyReal. Even in AI. 💙 Learn more at Dove.com/KeepBeautyReal #Dove #LetsChangeBeauty *Artificial Intelligence has been used in this advertising/film for the sole purpose of showing beauty bias in generative AI tools.

20 years ago, Dove launched a movement. We made a commitment to show what beauty looks like when it’s untouched, unfiltered, and real. Today, we marked this milestone by ringing the Opening Bell at NYSE. We’re ringing these bells in celebration of every team member, partner, and brand ambassador who has joined our journey to help people build a positive relationship with beauty. Thank you to all who have touched Dove's work over the past 20 years and beyond to help change beauty. #Dove #LetsChangeBeauty #UniquelyUnilever

Introducing… Code My Crown – the world’s first free guide for developing textured hair and protective styles in video games 🎮 85% of Black gamers think video games poorly represent natural hair. And 9 in 10 developers admit there is a lack of resources when it comes to coding natural or textured hair. It’s time to change this. So, we’ve teamed up with the Open Source Afro Hair Library, 3D artists, programmers, academics, and stylists to create #CodeMyCrown. Featuring sculpts with different textures and styles, the comprehensive guide provides hundreds of hair possibilities, giving Black gamers the chance to create characters that truly represent them. Everyone deserves a chance to see themselves as heroes in the virtual worlds we create. Together, let’s change the game for Black hair representation. Find out more and access the FREE guide with open source code at Dove.com/CodeMyCrown. #LetsChangeBeauty #Dove #MyHairMyCROWN #CROWNProud #BlackHairIsBeautiful #TexturedHair #HairLove

Dove Partner Venus Williams, young athletes, coaches and teachers – all helping to spread the word about the new tool to help keep girls in sports 💙 Speaking from experience, Venus says: “In sports, girls often face a tremendous amount of pressure – not just around performance and abilities, but also because of unrealistic expectations around their appearances.

Our shared goal is to make sports a more inclusive, welcoming space for girls everywhere.” Body Confident Sport is a first-of-its-kind tool that gives coaches the resources they need to support girls and keep them playing the sports they love.

Did you know that 45% of girls are quitting sports? And low body confidence is the #1 reason 💔 We want to change that. As the next step in our commitment to building young people’s self-esteem, we’ve teamed up with Nike to launch Body Confident Sport – a first-of-its-kind online tool designed for coaches, to help them build body confidence in the girls on their team. When girls reach adolescence, their bodies change. In a sports environment, this can leave them feeling exposed and vulnerable to judgment – not just for what their bodies can and can’t do, but for how they look too. Body Confident Sport is designed to and boost body-confidence through a global network of organizations in schools and sports clubs. We’re working with tennis champion and entrepreneur Venus Williams, alongside young athletes, sports coaches and academic experts to spread the word about the tool and help keep girls in sports 💙 Together, we can make sports a better place for the next generation of girls.
