Ahava

Ahava Dead Sea Laboratories, Limited (Hebrew: אהבה, Love) is an Israeli cosmetics company with headquarters in Lod that manufactures skin care products made of mud and mineral-based compounds from the Dead Sea. The company's administrative headquarters are located in Holon, while the main manufacturing plant and showroom are in Mitzpe Shalem, an Israeli settlement and kibbutz located on the Dead Sea in the West Bank. The company has flagship stores in Israel, Germany, Hungary, South Korea, the Philippines and Singapore.As of 2015, Ahava income was more than US$150 million a year. Ahava products have caused controversy, as critics say the company uses natural resources of occupied Palestinian territory, and that the products are incorrectly labeled as made in Israel. In 2015 the Chinese investment firm Fosun International agreed to purchase a controlling share of the company, which has been valuated to ca. NIS 300 million ($77 million USD).

History

Ziva Gilad, a spa technician, came up with the idea of marketing Dead Sea mud after watching women tourists scooping up the mud to take home. Ahava was founded in 1988 as a single stand selling bottles of body scrub to tourists, generating $1 million that year.

Ahava

by: Ofra Haza

Day after day, night after night
Nothing in love is black or white
Deep down inside, trying to touch
Wanting to say, "I love you so much"
Wish for a star, sparkling light
Don't run away, just hold me tight
Deep down inside, trying to touch
Wanting to say, "I love you so much"
Ahava, tomorrow we will find
Ahava, a way into the light
Ahava, you and I
Ahava
Yo vo cha yom, le cha ve li
Ya vo cha yom, koo lo she li
Bli mil ha ma, bli ema
Rak ahava, le ne sha ma
Ahava, tomorrow we will find
Ahava, destiny is calling
Ahava, you and I
Ahava
[Foreign Content]
Don't run and hide, don't hold me tight

I wish to know the magic star
I wish to know the [Incomprehensible]
Ahava, tomorrow we will find
Ahava, a way into the light
Ahava, you and I
