The Jerusalem Ahava Store:

Ahava Hand Cream and Dead Sea Salt Beauty Products


Dead Sea salt beauty products – and Ahava hand cream in particular – are favorite gifts from Jerusalem. There’s a good reason why. The products are made with mud from the lowest point on earth, rich in skin-beautifying and joint-soothing Dead Sea minerals.

The Dead Sea – in Hebrew, Yam Hamelach, the Sea of Salt – lies about an hour's drive from Jerusalem. It is the lowest point on earth, and the lowest sea on the planet. The Dead Sea is unique in its salt and mineral contents. The concentration of salts is so high, that you can’t actually swim in the sea – you can only float. The shores of the sea are rich in a deep, dark mud with healing properties.

Dead Sea salts have been hailed for their health effects since antiquity. Herod the Great built one of the first health resorts in history on its shores. Spas continue to line the shore to this day, and people come from all over the world to soak in the mineral baths. These are particularly effective for skin conditions like psoriasis, rheumatic joints and sore muscles.



Ahava Dead Sea Salt Beauty Products



I’m a big fan of Ahava products. They’re made in a workshop on a promontory overlooking the Dead Sea. If I can’t make it down to the Dead Sea to soak in its waters, I can still get similar soothing benefits at home from some of my favorite products. That's why we've partnered with Amazon.com to offer you one of the most extensive selections of Ahava products online.

If I had to pick my four favorite Ahava products, I’d have to pick the Ahava Hand Cream as one of them. It is one of the only hand creams I’ve found that actually heals my dry hands. I use it constantly during the winter months.

Another favorite is the Liquid Dead Sea Salt – fill the tub with warm water, squeeze in the gel and – voila – your own Dead Sea mineral bath at home!

If you really want to approximate the experience – or take a unique memory home with you – then a box of Dead Sea Mineral Mud is just the thing. It leaves your skin soft and refreshed like nothing else I’ve found. It also soothes aching joints – spread it on the affected area, let it dry then rinse off. This is one product definitely best bought on line – you don’t want to get stopped at airport security because on X-ray the package looks just like plastic explosives! (No joke – it happened to my mom.)

And my all time favorite Ahava product has to be the Dermud Intensive Nourishing Body Cream, which is just a delight.
