Shipinsure is a shipping insurance service designed to protect your goods in transit. It covers loss, damage, or theft that may occur while your items are being shipped, ensuring that you’re reimbursed for the value of the insured item if something goes wrong during transit.

Shipping insurance provides peace of mind. Accidents happen during transit, and items can be damaged, lost, or stolen. With Shipinsure, you're covered financially, helping you avoid the full cost of replacing or repairing your item.

If your shipment is lost or damaged, and you have purchased the Shipping Insurance at checkout, then simply click the "file a claim" button in the email that you received from ShipInsure. You will then be guided through the claims process, including submitting necessary documentation (photos, receipts, etc.). Once the claim is approved, you will receive a complimentary replacement order for your products.

The Bollati family founded Davines in 1983 in Parma, Italy. It originally began as a research laboratory specializing in the manufacture of quality haircare and skincare products for cosmetic companies. The name "Davines" is a combination of the Bollati children's names, Davide and Stephania.

All Davines products are designed, formulated and manufactured at our headquarters and laboratories in Parma, Italy.

At Davines, we believe that the balance between beauty and sustainability, what we call "sustainable beauty", can improve our lives and the world around us. By creating "beauty" we want to encourage people to take care of themselves, the environment in which they live and work, what they love. For us, sustainability has to do with the responsibility we feel for ourselves, the people we work with, our customers, the world in which we live and work.

Since 2018, Davines has been carbon neutral on the production of packaging across all product lines. We are proud to support the non-profit EthioTrees land and forest regeneration project in Ethiopia to offset the carbon emissions from the manufacturing of our products while sustaining local agricultural communities and an easier access to clean water.

Energy is a key resource in our sustainability journey. For this reason, we monitor and optimize its use, reducing waste and improving the efficiency of our plants and processes.​

At the moment, at the Village – where our headquarters and production plant are located – we use both electric and thermal energy. The electricity comes from renewable sources, while the thermal energy is generated from fossil fuels. ​

For the future, we have set ourselves this ambitious target: by 2030, 100% of the energy requirements of the offices and production facility in Parma will be self-generated from renewable sources at Davines Village. Find out more here.

"Davines does not aim to be the largest company in the world, but to be the most beautiful and the most ethical thanks to all." - Davide Bollati, President of the Davines Group

In partnership with a philosophical counselor, Davines employees have designed and developed a collection of professional values, related to the behavior and ethics in the workplace, as well as to the way in which small gestures of everyday life can improve the workplace. Unlike a strict code, this "Carta Etica" contains no rules or instructions. We work every day to ensure that this cohesion of common values ​​is reflected in the quality of our services. The Carta Etica has become central to our vision of beauty.

Davines has been a B Corp since 2016. A B Corp is a company that measures its positive impact on the people and the environment. It pursues objectives that go beyond profit, starting from a regenerative, more inclusive and sustainable socio-economic model, which creates and redistributes value among all stakeholders.

To become a B Corp, companies have to pass a rigorous assessment by the international organization B Lab, which measures social and environmental performance according to rigorous standards. ​

One of the most important aspects of becoming a B Corp is entering a movement of like-minded companies, striving to shift our economic system from extraction to regeneration, and from prioritizing individualism to embracing interdependence. ​

Many of the products within the Davines portfolio are formulated without silicones, and whenever possible, we consciously choose to avoid or replace them from our formulas. 

However, some technical products require the usage of certain types of silicones, calibrated in specific amounts, that are difficult to replace for the results that can give to the hair: softness, manageability, and shine.

The usage of silicones is safe for hair and human health but is questioned due to its low biodegradability and the consequent impact on the environment. Our commitment is to reduce its usage, so its percentage is calibrated each time to ensure minimum environmental impact and maximum performance on the hair.

Davines is investing in Research and Innovation to find the best possible alternatives for this category of ingredients in terms of both sustainability and efficacy.

No, our products do not contain sulfates.

Yes, our products contain a fragrance. If you have any questions about the specific fragrance of a product, reach out to us at contact@davines.us.

All of our products are formulated to be safe for color treated hair. Our best products to protect your color treatment are the MINU family, of Essential Haircare products.

Some Davines formulations contain alcohol, because it acts as a solubilizer to increase the penetration of active ingredients, to solubilize the resins in styling products, to make products lighter on the hair and to facilitate drying. If formulas are well-balanced they will not damage the hair shaft.

No, Davines products do not contain nanomaterials.

Yes, we use minimal amounts of preservatives in our products to protect the integrity of the formula. Our products are designed to be used in salons and showers and need to be protected when exposed to water. We use food grade preservatives where possible.

Yes, salt (sodium chloride) is used in small percentages in some of our shampoos.

Yes, our SU line is specifically formulated for protecting the hair from sun damage.

We carefully choose raw materials with a strong focus on sustainability and performance. ​

Although some ingredients comply with organic standards, the finished products have not undergone official organic certification processes.​

Our research efforts are strongly oriented toward favoring natural and naturally-origin ingredients. ​

We are committed to developing active ingredients in-house, adopting organic and regenerative supply chains that respect the environment and promote biodiversity.​

Davines products are formulated primarily using ingredients of natural origin whenever available, suitable, and effective, typically constituting a significant portion of each formula. ​

However, some synthetic ingredients are intentionally included as they are essential to guarantee optimal product performance, stability, and safety. ​

In certain cases, synthetic ingredients can offer greater sustainability compared to their natural counterparts, reducing environmental impact through responsible sourcing and production practices.​ ​

Most of our products, including shampoos and conditioners, are formulated without any animal-derived ingredients, making them suitable for individuals who follow a vegan lifestyle. These Davines products use carefully selected alternative ingredients to ensure optimal performance, maximum tolerability, and a superior sensorial experience, aligning fully with vegan principles.

However, a limited number of Davines products still contain animal-derived ingredients, which we are progressively phasing out. Specifically, these products are:​

DEHC VOLU HAIR MIST​

DEHC MELU HAIR SHIELD​

MORE INSIDE THIS IS A STRONG DRY WAX​

MORE INSIDE THIS IS A STRONG MOULDING CLAY​

PASTA&LOVE STYLING CLAY​

NATURALTECH NOURISHING ROYAL JELLY SUPERACTIVE​

Our products are tested to have a shelf life of over 30 months. They do not have an expiration date, but do have a Period After Opening time indicated on the back label of the packaging.

Our Essential Haircare and SUlines both contain specific active ingredients sourced from Slow Food Presidia farms, a non-profit association that unites the spread of food culture, the defense of sustainability for humans and the environment.

The pH of Davines products varies according to the product considered. In general, our shampoos have a pH ranging from 5 to 5.8; our conditions from 3.8 to 4.8; our treatments have a pH of approximately 5. If you have any questions about the pH of a specific product, reach out to us at contact@davines.us.

Davines buys preferably palm oil certified by RSPO (Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil), which guarantees that it does not cause environmental damage.

At Davines, “natural origin ingredient” means an ingredient that retains 100% of its naturalness, even after chemical transformation obtained by means of approved processes. This does not include any raw material with a synthetic component.

Synthetic ingredients are substances entirely obtained through chemical synthesis and contain no molecular parts derived from natural sources. They are designed and produced in laboratories to meet specific functional, sensorial, or safety needs.​

In line with Davines definition, synthetic ingredients are not considered of natural origin and are therefore excluded from the percentage calculation of a product naturality.​

Biodegradability is calculated as the sum of the percentage of readily biodegradable ingredients according to the OECD 301 method. This method defines as “readily biodegradable” an ingredient that exhibits a degradation of at least 70% over 28 days. These ingredients help reduce environmental bioaccumulation.​
