Hava Zingboim: founded 2005 in Israel. 150+ skincare breakthroughs. PME Method pioneer. Bar-Ilan University research partnership. Family-run cosmeceuticals empire based in Ramat Gan.
Hava Zingboim Cosmeceuticals is an Israeli professional skincare company founded in 2005 by cosmetologist Hava Zingboim, built around a proprietary "Dual-Depth Method" (also called the PME Method) for delivering active ingredients deep into the skin. The company sells through more than 2,000 certified para-medical aestheticians in Israel rather than direct retail, and Zingboim has been credited with more than 150 skincare formulation breakthroughs over roughly two decades.
Who Is Hava Zingboim and How Did the Company Start?
Hava Zingboim began her career in the United States, training in an advanced cosmetics specialization at Scott & White Medical Center in Texas and later helping establish cosmetic departments inside American medical centers, working alongside dermatologists and plastic surgeons on treatments that complemented clinical procedures. She returned to Israel and founded her namesake company in 2005, going on to establish what she describes as Israel's first advanced cosmetology school, offering continuing education for aestheticians. Israeli press has dubbed her "the Israeli guru of cosmeceuticals," and she received an Israeli innovation award in 2020.
What Is the Dual-Depth (PME) Method?
Zingboim's core technology platform is built around micronized, built-in delivery systems designed to carry active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and collagen, past the skin's natural barrier into deeper dermal layers, rather than treating only surface symptoms. The company says this Dual-Depth approach targets the structural causes of environmentally, hormonally, or genetically aged skin, and it underlies more than 75 of the brand's retail products. The flagship product built on this platform, Prophecy cream, launched in 2017 after seven years of research and development conducted with Bar-Ilan University's Faculty of Engineering and its Institute of Nano Technology and Advanced Materials, and was described as the first clinically proven product to deliver micronized hyaluronic acid molecules into deep skin layers. In December 2025, the company said it had secured a patent covering deep-penetration technology used in the Prophecy line.
How Does Hava Zingboim Sell Its Products?
Unlike most consumer skincare brands, Hava Zingboim distributes exclusively through certified para-medical aestheticians who complete the company's PME training course, rather than through open retail or e-commerce. The company has said this model exists because its formulations use active ingredients at high concentrations that must be matched to a client's specific skin condition; improper use, it warns, can cause burns or worsen existing skin problems. As a result, the company does not permit open online purchasing through its network of beauticians, requiring phone or consultation-based ordering instead. That distribution model sets it apart from Israeli beauty brands built for mass retail — see AHAVA and Sabon.
