For thousands of years, man has turned to the Dead Sea for healthier, more beautiful skin. Rich in the minerals most vital to our skin cells, AHAVA products exert a dual action upon the skin, reaching deep down into the pores to draw out oils and impurities, while at the same time flooding the skin with minerals to aid in hydration. AHAVA is manufactured at the Kibbutz, Mizpeh Shalem, on the banks of the Dead Sea. We are proud to be continuing the tradition of our biblical ancestors, who were known throughout the ancient world for their much sought after Dead Sea skin care compounds. The word AHAVA is the Hebrew word for "Love". AHAVA is the product of many years of research - both in modern laboratories and in libraries of ancient texts. In our efforts to remain faithful to the craft of our ancestors, we have employed the finest of natural ingredients. AHAVA products are hypoallergenic. They contain no animal products, nor do they perform any testing on animals.
