AHAVA: A history full of innovation!

For thousands of years, the Dead Sea region has attracted millions of visitors. This particular region is a natural source for restoring, refreshing and renewing the skin. The unique environment provides ideal conditions for conducting research into skin care techniques:

• High mineral concentrations;
• Low concentrations of pollen and allergens;
• High atmospheric pressure;
• Low exposure to UV radiation.

AHAVA Dead Sea Laboratiores (DSL) was founded in 1988, with the goal of researching these special renewal processes and applying the power of these processes in targeted face and body care products.

Excelling with its Dead Sea Expertise

The mission of AHAVA is to make the benefits of the Dead Sea, through their expertise and innovative products, available to all consumers worldwide. Today, AHAVA is irrevocably the Dead Sea Minerals Beauty Expert. AHAVA knows more about the science behind the revitalizing power of the Dead Sea than anyone else. She makes the benefits of this sea accessible to all people world!

Osmoter™: Most innovative concentrate of Dead Sea minerals

After many years of research into the secrets of the Dead Sea, AHAVA scientists have developed several unique skin care formulas. The most innovative development is the Osmoter™. Osmoter™ is a balanced concentrate of Dead Sea minerals. It contains the highest concentration of minerals worldwide. It consists of heavy minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium. These minerals stimulate essential skin functions. The technology helps restore the skin's vibrancy and improves its natural ability to retain moisture in the skin. The use of Osmoter™ draws moisture and nutrients to the upper layers of the epidermis, where moisture is needed most.

AHAVA provides all people worldwide with the benefits of the Dead Sea by incorporating Osmoter™ into all its products.

Investing in Research and Development

AHAVA invests heavily in research, including maintaining its own State-of-art Laboratory and production facilities on the shores of the Dead Sea. Here, scientists study the therapeutic effects of minerals on the skin and develop patented formulas. AHAVA's research and development department is divided into two main laboratories:

1 - Formulation Laboratory: World leader in the development of high electrolyte colloidal systems for the application of cosmetics.

2 - Skin Biotechnology Laboratory: One of the world's most advanced research laboratories, using alternative testing methods (than animal testing) to investigate the biological effects of minerals on the skin.

AHAVA Works closely with leading scientific centers, very large universities and with research institutes in Israel and Europe. Together, they publish clinically proven results in major scientific journals demonstrating the revitalizing effects of mineral and plant-based products. To ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the products and formulas, AHAVA utilizes the assistance of outside facilities to provide clinical trials and consumer testing. In addition, AHAVA meets a myriad of international quality standards, including ISO9001 (GMP) certification.
