Our products contain mineral oils (also sometimes called paraffinum liquidium), which deeply moisturize* and provide safe skin care, locking in moisture and creating a protective layer just below the skin’s surface.
Some people have raised questions about impurities in certain mineral oils. It’s why Dove only uses pharmaceutical-grade high-purity mineral oils — those that are also used in hospitals — and have been proven safe to use on a regular basis.
