Boycott AHAVA Dead Sea Laboratories — an Israeli Business

AHAVA Dead Sea Laboratories

AHAVA is an Israeli cosmetics brand whose manufacturing facility is located in the illegal Mitzpe Shalem settlement in the occupied West Bank, using Dead Sea resources from occupied territory. **Israel Connection:** Factory located in an illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Extracts Dead Sea minerals from occupied Palestinian territory. BDS priority consumer boycott target.

The Body Shop

British cosmetics and skincare brand founded by Anita Roddick, now operating independently following acquisition by Aurelius Group. The Body Shop was a pioneer of ethical beauty: cruelty-free, fair-trade-sourced, and activist-led. It is an alternative to AHAVA (which manufactures in an illegal West Bank settlement) and Unilever's beauty brands.

Lush

British handmade cosmetics company headquartered in Poole. Lush makes bath bombs, soaps, and skincare products using ethically-sourced ingredients. It has a strong public stance on Palestine — donating to Palestinian human rights groups and actively supporting BDS — making it one of the most explicitly ethical alternatives to AHAVA and Unilever's beauty brands.

Dead Sea Spa Magik (no settlement ties)

UK-based Dead Sea mineral skincare brand using minerals ethically sourced without ties to illegal Israeli settlements. An alternative to AHAVA, whose manufacturing facility is located inside the illegal Mitzpe Shalem settlement in the occupied West Bank and which extracts Palestinian natural resources.
