Unilever UK Ltd (Unilever) said the ad was made to show the difference between a Dove soap bar and a variety of other soap bars. The test, which used a thin film of zein protein, an industry standard commonly used in vitro for screening the relative harshness of surfactant systems, was shown to demonstrate that Dove was milder and less drying.

Dove is known for promoting body positivity through clever and often very moving ad campaigns. But Dove's latest product line in the United Kingdom is leaving a lot of people scratching their heads.

Dove U.K. recently announced a new, limited edition range of body washes, with one very unusual feature: the six bottles in the collection are shaped like different women's body types. The idea is to remind women that beauty can take many forms.

"From curvaceous to slender, tall to petite, and whatever your skin color, shoe size or hair type, beauty comes in a million different shapes and sizes," Dove U.K. wrote on their website. "Our six exclusive bottle designs represent this diversity: just like women, we wanted to show that our iconic bottle can come in all shapes and sizes, too."

This latest chapter in Dove's #RealBeauty campaign has sparked plenty of reactions.

"I genuinely thought the bottles were an April Fool's joke," said Sarah Benson, a London-based brand strategist, in an email to TODAY Style.

She thinks the bottles could ultimately do more harm than good.

"This is a naval-gazing marketing exercise that patronizes women rather than celebrates them," she said. "The shapes invite shoppers to judge themselves against what others look like, which surely increases the sense of feeling different rather than acceptance."

Meanwhile, reactions on social media have ranged from bemused to offended.

One woman on Twitter pointed out that Dove's new bottles don't exactly reflect real women's bodies.

"I have arms," she joked. "Please advise."

Others argued that Dove shouldn't place so much emphasis on body shape.

"This is so awful," wrote one Twitter user. "So you can contemplate how far outside the ideal your body is even in the shower."

But above all, people teased Dove U.K. mercilessly about the latest campaign, hinting that the brand had taken its body positive message one step too far.

It's unclear whether the new bottles will hit shelves in the U.S. anytime soon. In the meantime, our standard Dove body wash is working just fine!

The good, the bad, and the ugly of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty
The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty has been called a lot of things, from a "game changer" and "a breath of fresh air", to "hypocritical", "sexist", and "sneaky". So why has the campaign, whose major innovation was to use ads that featured real women rather than airbrushed models or celebrity spokespersons, sparked so much controversy? Taking a social psychological perspective, this article attempts to address the good, the bad, and possibly even the ugly side of Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty.
Dove launched the "Campaign for Real Beauty" in 2004, in response to the findings of a major global study, The Real Truth About Beauty: A Global Report, w hich had revealed that only 2% of women around the world would describe themselves as beautiful (Etcoff, Orbach, Scott, & D'Agostino, 2004). The main message of the Dove campaign was that women's unique differences should be celebrated, rather than ignored, and that physical appearance should be transformed from a source of anxiety to a source of confidence. This message was delivered through a variety of communication means, including TV commercials, magazine spreads, talk shows, and a worldwide conversation via the Internet. Despite the immense popularity and commercial success of the campaign, it has also been subject to much criticism. Many critics have relentlessly questioned and brought into focus the campaign's mixed messages, which have left some consumers feeling ambivalent towards the Dove brand. On the one hand, the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty can be viewed as espousing a positive message, with the goal of changing women's attitudes toward their perception of beauty. On the other hand, consumers are also aware of the campaign's conflicting goal, one that is imperative and alike to all advertising campaigns, which is to increase sales. Taking a social psychological perspective, this article will attempt to address the good, the bad, and possibly even the ugly side of Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty. The goal of the article is neither to praise nor admonish the campaign, but simply to examine the complicated nature of advertising in today's society, and to motivate consumers to take an educated stance with regard to advertising campaigns. How many of the ads you enjoy (or at least tolerate) actually reinforce stereotypes, or contribute to lowered self-esteem? It is an issue worthy of reflection.

One of the greatest achievements of the Dove campaign is that it initiated a global conversation to widen the definition of beauty. The main issue being targeted was the repetitive use of unrealistic, unattainable images, which consequently pose restrictions on the definition of beauty. Dove sought to change the culture of advertising by challenging beauty stereotypes; they selected real women whose appearances are outside the stereotypical norms of beauty (e.g., older women with wrinkles, overweight women). The real women were attractive and likeable to their female audience because they were relatable and provided a "fresh" perspective within the media. The campaign's success is evident in the tremendous publicity that it has received, for example, with the models being asked to appear as guests on many popular American talk shows, including The View, Good Morning America, The Today Show, Ellen, and Geraldo. Media exposure has provided $150 million in free media time for Dove's campaign ("Grand Prize", 2007). The campaign has also been the recipient of numerous awards. For example, the online video "Evolution" won two Cannes Lions Grand Prix Awards in June 2007 at the Cannes Lion International Advertising Festival in France. Furthermore, " " received over 1.7 million views during its first month, making it the most viewed video on YouTube in October 2006. Overall, much of the campaign's success can be attributed to it being the first digital campaign to drive participants to a supportive online community that reached over 200 million people worldwide, with over 26 million people participating in the campaign online (Springer, 2009). As proposed by Vivek, Beatty, and Morgan (2012), the engagement of customers (or potential customers) through the online campaign may build trust because "individuals will feel that the company cares about them and has their best interests at heart" (p. 135).

As proposed by Vivek, Beatty, and Morgan (2012), the engagement of customers (or potential customers) through the online campaign may build trust because "individuals will feel that the company cares about them and has their best interests at heart" (p. 135).

Within the context of body image, social comparison theory states that people will make automatic comparisons to people and images that they perceive to represent realistic goals to attain and be motivated to achieve these goals (Festinger, 1954). Following from this theory is the idea that our self-appraisals can be affected by others' characteristics. For example, it has been shown that when psychological closeness is manipulated, whereby the subject and target share similar attitudes and values to a high degree, the subject's self-appraisal is consequently more favorable after viewing an attractive same- sex target than after viewing an unattractive same- sex target- this is due to the virtue of perceived similarity to the target (Brown, Novick, Lord, & Richards, 1992). This effect has also been studied in terms of perceived similarity to a thin model, which found that women who perceived similarity with a thin model felt better about their bodies than those who did not perceive similarity (Young, Gabriel, & Sechrist, 2012). The notion of perceived similarity, within the context of social comparison theory, suggests that those who are considered similar are assimilated to the self. In relation to the Dove campaign, it could be assumed that these "real" women are perceived as overall similar, leading women to engage in these assimilative processes. This would result in women being more likely to report higher self-evaluations when the target has desirable traits and lower self-evaluations when the target has undesirable traits. Therefore, in assuming that these "real" women of the Dove campaign possess desirable traits, and these assimilative processes have occurred, the advertisements would have a positive effect on women's self-appraisals, and generally make women feel good about themselves.

Beyond simply making people feel good about the company, what Dove has so successfully done is reframe the function of purchasing their beauty products and toiletries from one focused on utilitarian outcomes (such as the quality and price of the products - things that are virtually never mentioned in the ads) to one that is focused on expressing important values and connecting with others. In the attitudes literature, these are respectively known as the value expressive and social adjustment functions of attitudes (Katz, 1960; Smith et al., 1956). Feeling positively about Dove, and purchasing their products, allows women to show that they too believe society's values regarding beauty need to change, from a focus on outer appearance and the "thin ideal", to a focus on inner beauty and confidence. Evidence that the campaign has increased brand loyalty includes the fact that in 2006, two-thirds of Dove's sales were generated by people who bought more than one Dove product, double the number from 2003, before the start of the campaign (Neff, 2006). Purchasing Dove products also enables customers to connect with the millions of women around the world who they see (either on television or online) responding in similarly positive ways to the campaign. One way in which people engage online is through Dove's Self-Esteem Toolkit, another positive aspect of the campaign.

Dove's Self-Esteem Toolkit is an online resource that includes workshops, activities, guides, and videos all aimed at building girls' self-esteem. In addition to the online videos, these activities and workshops also reflect the advertising campaign's mission, which is to redefine beauty. It is well known that self-esteem is linked to body image, particularly for adolescent girls (but also for adolescent and adult males, e.g., Choma et al., 2010, Petrie et al., 2010, and older women, e.g., Marshall, Lengyel, & Utioh, 2012). For example, Etcoff and colleagues (2004) found that 6 out of 10 teenage girls believed they would be happier if they were thinner. Research has shown that the internalization of the thin ideal can occur as early as three years old (in a sample of US girls; Harriger et al., 2010), and it has thus been recommended that programs aimed at countering such ideas (for example, by having girls argue against the thin ideal, see Stice et al., 2006), be implemented as early as possible (Grogan, 2010). This is recognized by Dove, for example, in their " " video which ends by encouraging parents to "talk to your daughter before the beauty industry does" and provides links to their online resources aimed at helping parents initiate such conversations. As positive as this message may seem, there may also be some downsides to Dove's initiatives, which we turn to now.

Though we have discussed social comparison theory from the perspective of "the good" in Dove's campaign, the story is unfortunately not that simple. We will now further our discussion and turn to how social comparison theory can also be understood and applied within the context of "the bad". Numerous studies have shown that adolescents look toward people that they see on TV to define what their own bodies should look like. The aversive impact is as follows: the more they compare themselves, the more they strive to be thin, the more they dislike their own bodies, and the more they engage in unhealthy behaviors (Botta, 1999). Furthermore, studies have shown that self-esteem can moderate the effect of social comparison on women's body image (e.g., Jones & Buckingham, 2005). Due to these findings, many self-esteem initiatives have attempted to teach adolescent girls to avoid comparisons with models because they are fake, airbrushed, photo-shopped, and unhealthy. However, this potentially leaves young adolescent girls vulnerable to making comparisons with "real women", such as those in Dove's ad campaign. This prompts the question, "Could Dove's ad campaign potentially be even more harmful than traditional ad campaigns?"-due to the fact that young girls may still feel like they are falling short in comparison to the "real women", but have not been taught buffer techniques towards these types of ads. Moreover, it has been suggested that women viewing commercials that include average-sized models might experience greater self-awareness of their own bodies due to the explicit focus on "real" women, triggering a fear of fatness. Also, these women may still be reminded of the thin beauty ideal even when viewing average-sized models, heightening their general awareness of beauty ideals (Anschutz, Engels, Becker, & van Strien, 2009).

The authors suggest one possible explanation for their results is that when "real" women are used in these TV programs, they remind women of the difficulties in achieving the thin ideal. This subsequently activates a higher
One study conducted by Swami and Smith (2012), investigated the impact of a lifestyle television program that seeks to promote positive self-awareness and fear of fatness, resulting in an increase in body-focused anxiety and body weight dissatisfaction. Although this study did not investigate the impact of the Dove campaign explicitly, the results and discussion are generalizable to Dove's ads because they share the same goal as lifestyle television programs. body image through the use of "real women" in comparison to a program that emphasizes the thin ideal. Participants in both experimental groups reported more negative body-focused anxiety and body weight dissatisfaction after watching the programs. Therefore, these "real women" television programs that are thought to evoke positive feelings toward women's body image actually have the same aversive impact as television programs that promote the thin ideal.

Heiss (2011) leveled a strong critique with specific regard to Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty, drawing on feminist-disability theory, a framework to analyze and critique social systems and material practices that stigmatize certain kinds of bodily variations (i.e., people with disabilities). The key motives are forging positive identities and promoting the inclusion of women with disabilities in mainstream society. Heiss argues that these types of campaigns whose aim is to promote positive body image in fact represent an ideology of "naïve integration". This type of ideology espouses an acceptance of diverse body types, but at the same time reflects traditional beauty standards. For example, Dove sought to challenge dominant beauty norms by depicting "real" women with "real" curves in their advertisements. However, it is argued that these "real" women appear similar enough to pre-existing ideals that they too would be accepted by most beauty standards, suggesting a failure on Dove's account to truly widen the definition of beauty. Furthermore, she argues that in neglecting to include a woman with a disabled body in their campaign ad, Dove fails to ascribe value to certain ("very real") body types and instead reinforces traditional understandings of the body and of beauty. This is evident in Dove's casting calls, which read: no tattoos, no scars, flawless skin, beautiful hair, and bodies that fall nicely between "not too curvy" and "not too athletic" (Odell, 2010). Moreover, there have also been claims that Dove engages in digital re-touching of their ad campaigns (Helm, 2008), explicitly in contradiction of their ad campaign's message. Heiss (2011) suggests that these campaigns turn instead to an ideology of pluralism, which reflects respect for cultural diversity and encourages people to maintain their unique subjectivities, for example, with respect to disabilities. The adoption of this ideology could be achieved through the inclusion of a woman with a disability in one of Dove's advertising campaigns.

Though few may describe Dove as "representing an ideology of naïve integration", many people certainly feel the same way, recognizing that Dove promotes both positive body image but also traditional beauty standards. In other words, the Campaign for Real Beauty can be viewed as being hypocritical, which may lead people to experience cognitive dissonance. On the one hand, consumers might purchase Dove because it promotes a good message; on the other hand, they might question exactly what they are purchasing (skin firming lotion?). However, any dissonance in this case may be fairly easily resolved; consumers can relieve their cognitive dissonance by reasoning that there is nothing wrong with wanting to look your best, and at least they are supporting a company with "good" values. We will now turn to the "ugly" side of Dove's campaign, which may evoke uncomfortable feelings that are not so easily resolved.

Despite much criticism towards Dove's ad campaign regarding their true motives, ideology, and efficacy, the real ugly side of the campaign is in their relation to brands like Axe. Dove's parent company is Unilever, which is also the parent company of Axe and Fair & Lovely. These brands promote messages that are in direct contradiction to the message that Dove is attempting to promote, which is positive body image. Fair & Lovely, a popular brand marketed primarily to dark-skinned women, promotes a desire for "lighter skin". This goes against Dove's mission to be more accepting of all women's beauty, by providing products that aim to make all women more alike. An example of an ad by Fair & Lovely depicts a dark-skinned woman who cannot get her dream job because of her skin colour, but once she uses their product, she finally lands her dream job, achieves good body image, and somehow boosts her love life. Although these ads have been criticized by advocacy groups for being offensive and demeaning (e.g., the All India Democratic Women's Association), Fair & Lovely products are still being sold in over 38 countries and ringing in millions (Gandhi, 2007).

Axe is another brand under Unilever espousing a message that is in direct contrast to Dove's mission; their ad campaigns strongly promote the "thin ideal" and sexualization of women. An example is the "Bow Chicka Wah Wah" (BCWW) campaign, which was directed toward young men and viewed through TV commercials or online. These young men could participate online through the "In Your Area" page, which shows a map supposedly depicting areas across the country where women have been affected by the Axe scents and offers videos of the BCWW girls driving in different places; viewers are instructed to "Choose a hotspot on the map below and watch women across the country lose their inhibitions, their minds ... and often their clothes." The overwhelming acceptance of the campaign's message is exemplified in its monetary success, where its US business grew from nothing at its launch in 2002 to over $500 million in 2006 (Hamm, 2007).

Therefore, Unilever is also seen as being hypocritical, and their association with Dove could potentially lead consumers to gain negative feelings toward Dove's ad campaign and experience cognitive dissonance. However, the dissonance in this case may not be so easily resolved as consumers have to try to rationalize buying products that support a company that promotes the very thing they believed they were 'fighting against' by purchasing Dove. This may lead to source derogation, as many consumers may reject the legitimacy and trustworthiness of the creators' of the Campaign for Real Beauty. Consumers may certainly question Dove's commitment to their social mission. Dr. Susan Linn, director and co-founder of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC), sums up this point nicely: "The Axe campaign makes clear that any concerns Unilever has about girls' well-being take a backseat to their desire to exploit stereotypes for profit. With Axe, Unilever is creating the same toxic environment addressed by its Dove Campaign" (CCFC, 2007). This "ugly" side to the Dove campaign has been discussed at length elsewhere, and we will not linger on it here.

Conclusion

Although the campaign itself has been the subject of much criticism, and the controversy surrounding Unilever remains, the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty is still going strong almost 10 years after its initial launch. One reason may be that despite the critiques, the campaign can still be seen as a step in the right direction. Furthermore, Dove continues to develop new initiatives that promote positive ". Through this initiative, Dove conducted a compelling social experiment that explored how women view their own beauty in contrast to what others see, the take home message being "you are more beautiful than you think". The launch of the video immediately generated much discussion, both positive and negative, about the message the video was sending. If Dove's body image, with its latest being " Dove Real Beauty Sketches goal was truly to initiate a global conversation concerning female body image, it has certainly done so. Whether the campaign is ultimately beneficial, harmful, or something in-between, we leave to the reader to decide. It is not our intention to take a stand one way or another on the value of the campaign. Rather, our purpose has been to examine the campaign from different angles and to encourage consumers to do the same - not just with Dove, but with any advertising campaign .
