Davines

an Italian family business founded in 1983 in Palmer, spent 40 years refusing to list its products anywhere except licensed salons. In 2010, the company committed to full sustainability certification and made that the entire brand story. David Bolatti founded Davines in 1983 with his father in Palmer, Italy, originally as a boutique supplier of salon hair care research. The brand stayed salon only across Europe for its first three decades. In 2010, the company made a formal shift to B Corporation certification, meaning every ingredient, every supplier relationship, every packaging material and every factory emission would meet third party sustainability standards audited annually. The B Corp accreditation was genuinely restrictive. Davines could not source palm oil from uncertified plantations, could not use certain silicones common in competing hair care and had to retrofit its factories to carbon neutral operations, all of which lifted production costs significantly.
