Personal Care Products
Dove
Dove has a Fair rating because it intentionally minimizes resource use and environmentally harmful ingredients, but still has some work to do with its packaging.
Dove has committed to avoiding many ingredients that pose a threat to the climate, including parabens, phthalates, other petrochemical-based ingredients, uncertified palm oil, and microplastics. It uses 100% recycled plastic and utilizes alternative models, such as promoting reuse and offering reusable containers, to reduce its waste and emissions footprint. Its parent company reports on its emissions and energy strategy, and has SBTi-approved emissions reduction targets.
However, Dove has very limited concentrated or refill options and doesn't offer a takeback program for its plastic containers. We hope to see Dove introduce more packaging waste aversion and reuse or refill strategies in the future.
Dove is owned by Unilever.
