Ahava Dead Sea Mineral Skincare

Ahava Brand Overview

Ahava is a renowned Israeli cosmetics brand specialized in skincare products derived from the nutrient-rich minerals of the Dead Sea. Founded in 1988, the company began as a laboratory investigating the clinical effects of Dead Sea minerals on human skin. It is the only cosmetics company headquartered on the shores of the Dead Sea, operating its production facilities in the Ein Gedi region.

Manufacturing and Ownership

All Ahava products are manufactured in Israel, leveraging local natural resources such as Dead Sea mud, salt, and water. Over the decades, the brand's ownership has evolved from local Israeli kibbutzim and private investment groups to international conglomerates. In 2016, the brand was acquired by the Chinese investment group Fosun International. Under this current ownership, Ahava continues to maintain its research and manufacturing hub in Israel while expanding its global distribution footprint as a premium science-based skincare brand.
