DISCOVER
THE REAL AHAVA
Ahava promises “Beauty Secrets from the Dead
Sea.” But the real secrets it keeps are an ugly
truth—its products actually come from stolen Palestinian
natural resources in the Occupied
Territory of the Palestinian West Bank, and are
produced in the illegal settlement of Mitzpe Shalem.

CURRENT ACTIONS
1. Ask Lonely Planet
to take Ahava off their agenda! Ahava's
guide to Israel and the Palestinian Territories
has a recommendation for shopping at the Ahava
Factory Outlet and Store. Please take five minutes
this weekend to explain to Lonely Planet that
there is an international boycott campaign against
Ahava. Ahava is engaged in illegal practices,
making products in a factory in an illegal Israeli
settlement—Mitzpe Shalem— that it then
falsely labels as ‘Products of Israel'. Please
make sure you choose the option ‘Warning: Health
or safety risk; theft or scam' when making your
complaint.
TAKE ACTION:
- Fill out a feedback
form on the Lonely Planet Site
- Select Israel and the Palestinian Territories,
Edition 6
- Follow options: Business or Service: Dead
Sea, Palestinian Territories (Israel is offered--but
type in Pal. Territories): AHAVA: Dead Sea,
p. 335
- Choose an option: Warning: Health or safety
risk; theft or scam
OR send Lonely Planet a letter, use
ours as your template.

and Physical Oppression: The Wall, the Occupation,
and Palestinian Workers
2.
Ask Nordstrom to stop selling AHAVA!
Nordstrom,
a chain of department stores that touts itself
as a socially responsible business needs
to live up to its socially responsible business
promises!
3.

cosmetics!'
