About

Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories is a cosmetics company from the Dead Sea region. The company employs a scientific approach in its environmentally conscious research activities to develop a series of face and body skincare products, renowned internationally for their efficacy. Ahava harvests and formulates the rich natural resources of the Dead Sea region in strict compliance with recognized international standards.

Osmoter is its signature blend of potent minerals sourced directly from the Dead Sea and AHAVA's trademark since 1989. It is created through natural solar evaporation of the Dead Sea water and contains uniquely balanced levels of minerals essential to human skin, including Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, and Calcium. This "moisture magnet" acts as an osmotic pump that brings moisture from the deep layers of skin up to the surface and activates your skin from within. Osmoter is the key ingredient in all AHAVA products.
