Ahava
Ahava Dead Seas Cosmetics is an Israeli brand whose headquarters is in Lod in Occupied Palestine (currently known as Israel). They also operate in an illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank which has made them a target for the BDS movement.
Ahava’s factory is located in the West Bank and it collects mud from the Dead Sea in the occupied West Bank, in breach of international law. According to human rights organization B'Tselem Ahava breaches the Hague Convention on the Law and Customs of War on Land, which prohibits exploitation of resources in occupied territory.
