Founded in 1983, the Parma-based cosmetics manufacturer Davines has sought from the beginning to craft hair and skin-care products that are scientifically engineered to function at the highest level possible. Initially established as a research laboratory, the company unveiled its own line of Davines products after a decade of honing its expertise with natural ingredients. To this day, the Italian team strives to create products characterized, in their own words, by "a thoughtful balance of substance and style, nature and science, people and spirit."
