The next decade of Davines’ sustainable journey continued to address emissions related to packaging their products. And what was the goal? To become a carbon-neutral company: removing the same amount of carbon dioxide they were emitting into the atmosphere. As of 2018—Davines succeeded, offsetting 100% of the CO2 emissions from their packaging, production plant, and worldwide offices. One shampoo bar provides up to 60% more washes (up to 40) compared to the classic liquid line. And each bar still incorporates those farm-to-shower ingredients. The moisturizing MOMO bar, for example, includes Yellow Paceco Cartucciaru melon extract from the farm of Francesca Simonte from Dattilo, Trapani. We don’t know about you, but it’s darn refreshing to know the name and place of who and where our products came from. In terms of profit, they’ve partnered with 1% For The Planet, donating 1% of every online purchase to a charity (giving us a way to also contribute). Davines continues to celebrate community-supported agriculture (CSA) through their Beauty From The Ground Up Program, which helps us support the local farmers who grow our food. As the famous quote goes, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Devon’s first book, Earth Women, is coming soon.
