The bar became their signature. Today Dove sells in over one hundred fifty countries. They are known for gentle cleansing products. The brand reaches billions of people each year. Dove is tracked weekly among six thousand six hundred forty-nine brands globally. They remain a standard in bathrooms everywhere.
