Each Dove x Venus #KeepHerConfident Beauty Bar has a "CONFIDENT" engraving and comes in a limited-edition canister produced from recycled materials (and is 100% recyclable) with three Dove x Venus #KeepHerConfident Beauty Bars per canister for the ultimate keepsake.

"As someone who knows the importance of confidence in sports, I'm so excited to be collaborating with Dove to continue our mission of keeping the next generations of young women athletes playing the sports they love," said Venus Williams. "I loved partnering with Dove to create the #KeepHerConfident Beauty Bar and incorporating my favorite fragrances, nods to the game I love with the tennis-ball colored bar and a powerful message to keep our young athletes looking, smelling and feeling great and confident!"

According to 2023 Dove research, 45% of girls globally drop out of sports by age 14 – two times the rate of boys – with body confidence being the #1 reason. This launch aims to raise awareness of the Body Confident Sport program, a first-of-its-kind and scientifically proven set of coaching tools developed in partnership with Nike to build body confidence in 11-17-year-old girls.

Fans looking to get their hands on the limited-edition Dove x Venus #KeepHerConfident Beauty Bar packs will be able to enter for a chance to win at Dove.com/ConfidentSports, now through September 20, 2024 (NO PURCH NEC. 50 US/DC 18+)*.

In addition to the limited-edition Dove x Venus #KeepHerConfident Beauty Bar, Dove is supporting a series of activities to celebrate body confidence and support the mission of keeping girls in sports this tennis season:

  • Dove will partner with Black Girls Tennis Club on an in-person tennis experience for middle school girls in NYC, hosted by tennis champion & entrepreneur Venus Williams, and infused with body-confidence building tips to take with them on-and-off the court.
  • Dove has partnered with Bras for Girls to donate over 1,000 sports bras, supporting late elementary to middle school girls – an age at which some girls choose to stop participating in sport due to discomfort with their changing bodies.
  • For those based in the New York City Metro area, Dove has partnered with Lyft, one of the largest transportation networks in North America, to give away a limited amount of the Dove x Venus #KeepHerConfident Beauty Bar canisters – be on the lookout for five wrapped Dove x Venus cars to score one!

"We're thrilled to be releasing our first-ever limited edition of the beloved Dove Beauty Bar to help keep girls playing the sports they love. Venus has been an incredible champion of the Body Confident Sport mission, and we couldn't think of a better partner or role model for girls to co-create the #KeepHerConfident Beauty Bar with," said Mele Melero, Chief Growth Officer, Dove Personal Care North America.

The Dove Beauty Bar is the #1 dermatologist recommended bar brand, and is gentle enough to use on face, hands and body to wash away dirt and germs as effectively as ordinary soap, with the added benefit of caring for your skin. Just like all Dove Beauty Bars, the collaborative bar features 1/4 moisturizing cream to deeply nourish skin, prevent dryness and deliver superior care, while being free from sulfates, parabens and added phthalates.
