FAQs
What are the benefits of Dead Sea minerals for the skin?
The Dead Sea is the world’s largest source of minerals credited with improving the skin’s appearance. Minerals such as Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium and Calcium are essential to supporting the skin’s own processes. With age and our modern lifestyle, the level of minerals in our skin declines. That is why people from all over the world have sought the benefits of the Dead Sea for skin vitality and youthfulness: Its water is made of 34 percent solid minerals – ten times more than any other body of water in the world. Combined with other wonders of the lowest place on earth, such as purifying mud, invigorating salts and powerful desert plants, we embrace our natural environment and aim to transport you on your very own journey to the Dead Sea.
How do you extract minerals from the Dead Sea?
Honoring our environment and safeguarding nature are top priorities for us. Our extraction process is eco-friendly and does not pollute or damage the delicate ecological balance of the Dead Sea. That’s why we have exclusive rights to extract minerals from its water. To do so, we use natural solar evaporation. We also pioneered a natural wastewater system using flora to filter waste and allowing us to return clean water back to mother nature.
Are your products dermatologically tested?
Yes. All of our products undergo dermatological testing. They are also allergy tested and approved for sensitive skin. Products meant for use around the eyes are also ophthalmologically tested and fragrance-free.
About AHAVA Dead Sea Mineral Skincare
Over three decades of scientific research transforming the Dead Sea wonders into skincare.
Behind The Brand
Our Origins
The lowest place on earth
The Dead Sea is an unparalleled source of natural mineral blends credited with improving skin’s appearance and health. For decades, scientists have sought a better understanding of how they benefit human skin. This passion drew our founders to settle in the region and eventually establish AHAVA in 1988. We are the only cosmetic company to have facilities on the shores of the Dead Sea. As we observe this unique environment every day outside our windows, we are constantly reminded of our reliance on nature and the fundamental necessity to actively preserve it for generations to come.
Our Science
Dedication and innovation
We believe in the unstoppable power of nature and science combined. Our in-house Research and Development team of dedicated scientists works to transform the natural wonders of the Dead Sea into modern, result-driven skincare. With a dozen patents and countless innovations under their belts, our researchers focus on creating new ways for the skin to strengthen and rejuvenate itself.
Our Difference
Osmoter™
Our study of natural elements and their effects on human skin led to the creation of Osmoter™, our signature blend of potent minerals sourced directly from the Dead Sea and AHAVA's trademark since 1989. It is created through natural solar evaporation of the Dead Sea water and contains uniquely balanced levels of minerals essential to human skin, including Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, and Calcium. This "moisture magnet" acts as an osmotic pump that brings moisture from the deep layers of skin up to the surface and activates your skin from within. Osmoter™ is the key ingredient in all AHAVA products.
