Ahava

You can’t be ‘soothed and smoothed’ by Ahava’s creams and cosmetics – they are produced by a firm complicit in the theft of Palestinian land and livelihoods.

Ahava is an Israeli company with a factory and visitor centre in Mitzpe Shalem near the Dead Sea. This is one of the illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian West Bank. Ahava products are sold at its store in London and by a range of British companies in shops around the country, including John Lewis. Companies like Ahava profit from the settlements which are a major obstacle to a just and peaceful solution to the conflict.
