The Dead Sea is an unparalleled source of natural mineral blends credited with improving skin’s appearance and health. 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. 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.
