Product overview
Key Ingredients
Based on Dove's official ingredient disclosure cross-checked against an independent ingredient-analysis database, this beauty bar's formula is built around a mild, syndet (synthetic detergent) cleansing base rather than traditional saponified soap, including ingredients such as Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate and Stearic Acid, along with Dove's signature "1/4 moisturizing cream" complex. The bar also contains fragrance (Parfum) and colorants, and, depending on the specific regional formulation, may include one or more of a standard list of EU-recognized fragrance allergens (such as Linalool, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, or similar). We found some minor differences in the disclosed fragrance-allergen sub-list between sources, which most likely reflects different regional formulation variants rather than an error, so we recommend checking your specific bar's packaging for the complete, region-specific ingredient list.
Key Features
Dove is a globally recognized personal care brand under Unilever, well known for its "1/4 moisturizing cream" beauty bar format, which is formulated as a syndet bar rather than a traditional soap, intended to be gentler on the skin's natural moisture barrier than conventional soap. Please note that this specific product is available in the Bangladesh market in more than one pack size -- both a 90g version (commonly available via Shwapno) and a 100g version (commonly available via Chaldal, sourced from Indonesia) have been documented; this entry specifically describes the 90g size as stated in the product name.
Benefits
The syndet base combined with the moisturizing cream complex is intended to cleanse while helping to minimize moisture loss from the skin, in contrast to traditional bar soap, which can be more drying due to a higher pH and lack of added moisturizing agents. This general benefit profile is well-documented and consistent with the disclosed formula. However, any brand-specific quantified marketing claims (such as specific percentage moisture retention figures, if present on packaging) should be treated as brand-reported rather than independently verified by MedEasy.
Who Can Use This Product
This beauty bar is generally marketed as suitable for normal to dry skin types seeking a gentler cleansing bar than traditional soap. Individuals with known fragrance sensitivities or allergies to any of the specific EU-recognized fragrance allergens that may be present in this formula (which can vary slightly by regional variant) should review the ingredient list on their specific bar's packaging before use. A patch test is recommended for those with a history of skin sensitivity.
How to Use
Wet the skin and the bar with water, work into a lather, and apply to the body during bathing or showering, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with water. Store the bar in a dry soap dish between uses to help extend its lifespan and prevent it from becoming overly soft in standing water.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and standing water. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction develops, and consult a doctor if symptoms persist. Because the fragrance-allergen sub-list may vary slightly between regional formulation variants of this bar, individuals with known fragrance allergies should check the ingredient list on their specific product's packaging.
