      Cooking in the Garden

      RECIPES FOR SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY

      From the garden to the kitchen, and even to your shower! We are proud to present you four recipes of Italian tradition, prepared with the natural ingredients of Davines shampoo. 

      gem pages image
      Grown according to the principles of organic farming, the Davines Village Scientific Garden is a genuine treasure of biodiversity where new ingredients are studied for our formulas. Many of thesenatural extracts are derived fromMediterranean plants traditionallyused for cooking, such as rosemary or artichoke, for example.

      As proud Italians who love good food and spending time together, the blooming plants in the Garden inspired us to create four recipes through which we tell the story of ingredients in our products, also through cuisine!

      “

      The Scientific Garden gives us the possibility of direct contact with nature and its infinite resources.
