Consumers want body care products that deliver a genuine mood boost alongside skincare benefits, and the new Dove Ice Cream Parlor Limited-Edition Collection is full of joyful, dessert-inspired scents and feel-good formulas that make daily routine feel like a small indulgence. The nostalgic range inspired by the classic ice cream parlor experience introduces four ice cream-inspired scents: Coconut Vanilla, Pistachio Gelato, Raspberry Sorbet, and Strawberry Swirl. And when it comes to customizing their complete care routine, users can mix and match the collection's body washes, scrubs, body mists and antiperspirant deodorants to create a "personalized self-care sundae."
The Dove Ice Cream Parlor Limited-Edition Collection is available exclusively in Target stores and online beginning for a limited time, while supplies last.
