The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has raised an alarm over the circulation of certain Dove soap and deodorant products, warning they may pose serious health risks to users in Nigeria.
The agency disclosed this in a public alert issued on Monday from its Investigation and Enforcement Directorate.
According to NAFDAC’s Public Alert No. 018/2025, the European Union authorities have banned the marketing and sale of Dove Exfoliating Hand Soap (100g) and several Dove deodorant products in Brussels, Belgium, after confirming the presence of a banned ingredient.
