OUR WORLD
Davines World
Founded in Parma, Italy in 1983 by the Bollati Family, Davines Group started as a research laboratory, producing high-end hair care products for renowned cosmetics companies worldwide.
After a decade of honing our expertise, we began creating our own brand of Davines hair care products exclusively for salons, and in 1996 founded [ comfort zone ] skin care for premier spas. Our skin care lines were further expanded in 2018 when the Skin Regimen brand was born. The Group is now a B Corp and has an international presence in more than 90 countries with a multicultural staff. In addition to the main office in Parma - the Davines Village - it has offices in New York, London, Paris, Mexico City, Deventer (Netherlands), and Hong Kong.

“
I LOVE TO TRAVEL, BUT HATE TO ARRIVE.
Raised in Giremoutiers, France before moving to Paris in 1993 where he graduated four years later from ESLSCA Business School, a Grande École de Commerce. He then joined the New York subsidiary of a French family-owned company, manufacturing high end hair and skincare products, rapidly progressing to the role of Sales Director first for their Salon and then Retail divisions, which also earned him the title of Executive Vice President. In 2008, Anthony joined Davines North America as CEO. During his thirteen-year tenure, Anthony implemented structure and continuity, resulting in steady growth that made North America a key market for the Davines Group.

To do our best for the world, creators of good life for all,through beauty, ethics andsustainability.
Beauty + Sustainability, the inspirational concepts for each of our projects — from formulation to design, to ethics and customers.
The Carta Etica
A collection of our shared ethics and company guidelines, created by all members of the group.
It allows the reflection of ethics in everyday life by contributing to the working wellness of everyone. First written in 2005 by a philosopher and Davines employees, it does not contain rules or instructions, but rather proposals for desirable ethical behavior at work to obtain a better quality of life for all. The importance of sharing of a value system that guides and inspires all those who work in the company meant that we needed to focus on realigning our values.
2018 saw the creation of The Carta Etica's "New Blooming" which represents an evolution of what is now the company's ethical DNA.

We have rewritten our way of doing business, looking at business as a positive force capable of generating profit and at the same time creating a virtuous impact on people and the environment.
After the certification obtained in 2016, we decided to align our objectives with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's), defined in the UN Agenda 2030, projecting them into our corporate strategy. This gave us a goal for continuous improvement that is expressed in the activation of new projects, and in defining objectives and monitoring results that have been presented in our annual Sustainability Report.
At Davines every product is born from intuition and is processed with an artisan spirit using the most advanced cosmetic technologies.
The formulations favor the use of ingredients of natural origin, are generated with renewable electric energy and packaged minimizing the environmental impact, inspired by the ideal of Sustainable Beauty as an inseparable unity between Beauty and Good.
