4. 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!

5. Tell Ricky’s NYC, a family-owned chain store in New York City, to‘Stop carrying AHAVA cosmetics!'
Click here to join us in sending a message to Ricky's NYC president, Dominick Costello.

These products are fraudulently labeled as “Made in Israel”, but are in fact produced in illegal settlements under the conditions of the military occupation in the West Bank, way outside the internationally-recognized borders of Israel.

7. Join us in sending an email to ULTA President, CEO and Director Carl "Chuck" Rubin urging ULTA to stop carrying Ahava products! Learn more here and click here to email him now!
