The Dove Real Beauty Pledge

We value the real beauty of all women and our content will keep beauty real: free of digital and AI distortion, and unrealistic beauty standards of any kind.

We promise to: 

• never use AI imagery in place of real women
• never use digital distortion and present the unachievable, manipulated, flawless images of “perfect” beauty which the use of retouching tools can promote
• never use professional models or celebrities to portray real women

We believe in authentically representing our diverse community, including those who are often unseen and unheard. We feature women of different ages, sizes, ethnicities, abilities, genders , hair colour, hair type and style.

We promise that:

• our diversity work is never done
• our campaigns will continue to reflect [the evolution of] our diverse community globally and in each country, including its intersections
• we will remain vigilant on inclusivity of the underrepresented

We believe that each woman gets to ​define what Real Beauty means to them, so we always share women's authentic stories and voices.

We promise to: 

• introduce women by their real names
• ensure women have control over how they dress, how they portray their beauty and how they tell their own story
• ensure all images and stories are approved by the women featured

We believe that a positive relationship with the way you look starts early, lasts

a lifetime, and is something you can learn at any age. We take action to help generations of girls and women grow their body confidence and self-esteem.
