As the only brand in the world to use botanicals and minerals drawn from the Dead Sea, AHAVA is mixing things up in the skincare market. Letting nature lead the way, their scientific research aims to understand the human nature of our body and how the previously undiscovered botanicals and minerals found in the Dead Sea can not only care for our skin, but actually help the skin from within. We thought it might be interesting to delve a little deeper and find out what it is about these natural elements from the Dead Sea that make AHAVA products so unique and effective.

Since ancient times, people from all over the world have flocked to the Dead Sea, officially the lowest place on earth, to benefit from the proven therapeutic and skincare benefits that come from bathing in the water there. The water comprises a higher mineral concentrate (32% to be exact) than water anywhere else in the world, and it’s because of this that AHAVA scientists sought to understand and celebrate how the minerals and botanicals right at their fingertips in the Dead Sea could be used as part of everyday skincare to see visible results.

After gaining exclusive access to the raw Dead Sea minerals, AHAVA were able to take these naturally potent byproducts (mud, salt, crystals and water) that contain concentrated levels of minerals and nutrients (like magnesium, sodium, phosphates and bromides) and create their range of luxurious products that will help you to maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin.

If you take a closer look at any of AHAVA’s formulas, you won’t find any parabens or questionable compounds (such as Phthalates or Triclosan), and it’s AHAVA’s belief in the power of nature that makes this so important to them. What you will find are ingredients clinically proven to contain anti-ageing and antioxidant properties, which will protect, nourish and revitalise your complexion.

Take a look at some of our favourites.
