Dove Original Beauty Bar Soap 135g135g

Dove Original Beauty Bar Soap (135g) is a bar soap from Dove, owned by Unilever. Bangladesh retailers explicitly list this 135g SKU's country of origin as Germany, manufactured by Unilever Deutschland Produktions GmbH, corroborated by an independent ingredient-database entry for a barcode-matched "Original Beauty Bar" product sold in other markets.

Sourcing note -- three-way ingredient-panel conflict: three sources give overlapping but non-identical ingredient panels for this product. Dove's US official site lists a shorter panel for its "Original Beauty Bar" (pack size not confirmed as 135g on that page). SkinSAFE's database, explicitly for the "4.75oz/135g" size, lists a broadly similar panel plus Kaolin, while noting the panel itself has additional unlisted ingredients. A Germany-manufacturing-matched entry on openbeautyfacts.org lists a notably longer ingredient set including a fuller fragrance-allergen disclosure (consistent with EU labeling requirements) plus Glycerin, Sodium Palmate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, and Zinc Oxide, none of which appear on the US list. Since the Bangladesh-sold 135g unit is Germany-manufactured, the EU-sourced list is presented as the more likely match, but this could not be confirmed against an exact Bangladesh-market label, so the conflict is disclosed rather than resolved.
