Is Dove vegan?
Some Dove products carry a vegan mark, but the classic Beauty Bar and several body washes do not; check the on-pack label per item.
Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.
