Inspired by the Dove Plant Milk Body Washes and Cleansing Bars, Dove Canada partnered with Toronto-based, vegan-friendly gelato brand On Third Thought to create the Dove Plant Milk Gelato Bar. As part of the experience, consumers can treat themselves to a scoop of limited-edition gelato—with flavors like Almond Milk & Green Apple, Oat Milk & Berry, and Turmeric Milk & Lemon inspired by the new body wash and cleansing bar scents—and take home a sample of Dove Plant Milk Berry Brûlée Body Wash.
The Dove Plant Milk Gelato Bar will make a final, invite-only stop at the popular Gen Z event series, Friends Only.
Each decadent, creamy treat provides a sensorial experience of the plant-powered milks that form the base of the moisturizing, nutrient-packed body care products, now available in five formats.
