Ahava (Template:Lang-he) (lit. Love) is an Israeli cosmeceutical company that manufactures skin-care products made of mud and mineral-based compounds from the Dead Sea.
Dead Sea Laboratories (DSL), the company that manufactures Ahava products was established in Israel in 1988 by three kibbutzim in the Dead Sea area. The company is now co-owned by Gaon Holdings, one of Israel's largest holding companies. Ahava exports to over thirty countries worldwide, and exports account for 60% its sales. Ahava products, popular with tourists for their quality and unique properties, are available in shops all over Israel, with an outlet store at the foot of Masada.
Ahava's shareholders include Kibbutz Mitzpe Shalem (41 percent); Hamashbir Holdings and Gaon Holdings (41 percent); and kibbutz Ein Gedi and kibbutz Kalia (18 percent).
Ahava has 200 employees, 180 of whom work in Israel. The plant is located at the Dead Sea, with administrative headquarters in Holon.
In Britain some anti-Israel groups boycotted the company's products.
