The Essentials line is daily haircare expressed in a way that embodies Davines’ values more than any others. It represents the scientific commitment of Davines’ laboratories and protection of the Mediterranean’s artisan and cultural heritage.
All of the products in the Essentials line are formulated with optimal formulas free from sulphates and parabens, and with just added touch of selected active ingredients grown in Italy that contribute to keeping alive vegetable species at risk of extinction. Phenomenal haircare that actively protects biological diversity?
Davines works closely and collaboratively with the non-profit Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity by joining the Presidia Project; this non-profit foundation protects selected places in order to safeguard the Earth’s biodiversity, by building bridges between ecology, gastronomy, ethics and the pleasures of the table.
As a result, each of the nine product families contains one specific active ingredient from a Slow Food Presidium that features the story, the face, and the name of the person who grew it with care and passion.
Sustainability experiences a total new meaning which doesn’t forget to honor the environment by avoiding natural resources consumption.
Produced using only energy from renewable sources, the packaging of the Essential Haircare range is Zero Impact® – carbon neutral and is created using the minimum amount of food grade plastics necessary. All carbon dioxide emissions generated by the production of the containers are offset through contributions to the creation and protection of forests in Madagascar.
