Ahava Dead Sea
The Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, is located 400 meters below seal level. Containing the highest concentration of beautifying and therapeutic minerals in the world, it has been known since antiquity as a place of awe and profound mystery, a place of magical and health giving properties. Cleopatra sought here the secrets of eternal beauty and its legendary balsam was highly prized by kings and queens.
Today, modern science has proven the therapeutic and rejuvenating properties of its unique mineral content and rich Black Mud. The Dead Sea has become a renowned center for natural health and beauty treatments with people coming from around the world to bathe in its mineral rich waters and apply the famous Dead Sea Mud.
AHAVA Dead Sea Laboratories, the cosmetics company native to this magical region, is driven by a powerful desire to unlock the secrets of the effects of minerals on skin renewal.
Working in close cooperation with leading universities around the world, AHAVA's dedicated team of scientists and researchers investigates the curative powers inherent in Dead Sea minerals on an ongoing basis. These studies have led us to develop exclusive mineral compounds that stimulate the skin to renew itself and retain moisture.
The Mineral Skin Osmoter used in every product is a unique concentrated extract from the waters of the Dead Sea, produced by utilizing a natural evaporation process. The clinically proven action of the Osmoter is based on the principles of the natural water–sharing process between cells known as osmosis, which reduces wrinkle depth, replenishes moisture and renews the natural balance of the skin. The Osmoter creates an osmotic pump that draws moisture and nourishing substances from the depths of the skin to the external layers of the epidermis, where they are greatly needed.
