Many of our products are safe for pregnant women, but we recommend that you consult your physician before using any cosmetic product during your pregnancy.

Yes. We test all of our products with dermatologists to ensure they are safe and beneficial for your skin. They are also allergy tested and approved for sensitive skin. 

Products meant for the eye area are also ophthalmologically tested and fragrance-free.

Of course. In addition to banning Parabens, SLS/SLES, GMOs and Microbeads, we do not use any Phthalates, Mineral oils, Alcohol, Petroleum or other ingredients that can potentially harm your skin or the environment. 

100% free! Microbeads are tiny plastic particles often used in exfoliating products, which cannot be filtered in our water systems and end up in lakes and oceans, where fish often mistake them for food. We can’t let that happen on our watch, so we never use microbeads in our products. All of our exfoliating products are powered by natural exfoliants.

Absolutely. Genetically Modified Organisms are natural elements that have had their genetic code changed to be something other than what they are intended to be naturally. That doesn’t align with our core belief that honoring nature is the only way to go, regardless of what you produce. So yeah, our products are always  NON-GMO. 

You bet! Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are commonly used foaming detergents that dermatologists believe to be causing damage to our skin’s natural barrier, so we never use that stuff. 

Of course. Parabens are a type of preservatives widely used in the cosmetic industry and are often linked to allergic reactions, skin rashes and irritations. Therefore, we never use Parabens in any of our products.

We are proud to say that we practice green, sustainable methods at every stage of our production and maintain a zero-emissions factory. We pioneered a natural wastewater system using natural plant cycles to filter waste resulting in us returning clean water to Mother Nature. We truly believe that preserving nature is a long-term process and we’re in it for the long run. We also encourage ecological awareness by empowering and supporting local communities through educational initiatives. Dead Sea Naturals spends hundreds of hours annually teaching young people how to preserve the treasures of their region. 

Because we are committed to the environment and to preserving the Dead Sea's delicate ecological balance, our extraction process is eco-friendly and does not pollute. This philosophy earned us the exclusive rights to extract minerals from Dead Sea water through natural solar evaporation. 

For over three decades, our dedicated scientists have been working to bring the benefits of the Dead Sea to your skin. With a dozen patents and innovations under their belts, our researchers focus on creating new ways for our skin to strengthen and rejuvenate itself. Our Formulation Laboratory is a world leader in high electrolyte colloidal systems for cosmetic application, and our Skin Biotechnology Laboratory is one of the world’s most advanced research laboratories, investigating the biological effects of minerals on the skin. 

We collaborate with universities and research institutes worldwide and publish findings in major scientific journals.

Dead Sea Naturals by AHAVA has its factory, laboratories and research centers on the shores of the Dead Sea, surrounded by mineral-rich water and desert dunes. We’re the only cosmetic group with facilities in that authentic location - the lowest place on Earth. Observing this unique environment every day right outside our windows is more than just a pretty view: it is a constant reminder of the importance of honoring and preserving nature. 

‍

Never! Animal testing goes against everything we believe in. Respecting our planet and its inhabitants is what we are all about.

 AHAVA products are based on naturally-sourced ingredients, but we also use active ingredients created by our scientists in our labs. Combining nature and science is what makes our products so beneficial and kind to your skin at the same time. There are no traces of potentially harmful or controversial ingredients in any of our products so that you can enjoy them with an absolute peace of mind.

Great question! Dead Sea minerals are the world's most powerful hydration boosters and they support our skin’s internal self-hydrating processes. 

The Dead Sea is the world’s largest source of essential minerals, including Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium and Calcium. They help our skin produce moisture, protect itself from aggressions and delay the appearance of signs of aging. With age and our modern lifestyle, the level of such minerals in our skin naturally declines, so using skincare products powered by those minerals helps fuel the skin with what it needs to best function. That is why people from all over the world have sought the benefits of the Dead Sea for skin vitality and youthfulness: Its water is made of 34 percent solid minerals – ten times more than any other body of water in the world. Combined with other treasures of the lowest place on earth, such as purifying mud, invigorating salts and carefully selected desert plants, they do wonders for our skin.

‍

Yes. We strive to give you the best of the Dead Sea and choose our ingredients mindfully. We only use products that are kind to your skin and non-toxic: there are no traces of potentially harmful or controversial ingredients in any of our products and we are keeping it that way!

Yes! 100% vegan and they have been since our establishment decades ago. In  alignment with our unwavering commitment to the environment, staying away from animal-derived ingredients is one of our founding principles.
