What Dove says and does about PFAS
We found no PFAS policy from Dove or its parent company Unilever. The one independent test we found came back non-detect. Mamavation’s lab found no detectable organic fluorine, a screening marker for PFAS, in a Dove Advanced Care antiperspirant. We found no PFAS test results for the Dove shampoos, conditioners or body washes we grade.
