Our Shampoo Bars Are Professional Quality Guaranteed

You may have heard that traditional shampoo bars make it harder to cleanse hair - we're happy to say that the Davines shampoo bars are different.

By moistening and rubbing the solid shampoo between your hands you will obtain a rich and creamy foam.
The sensation on wet hair may be different compared to what you are used to, but when drying you will get the same resultyou would have obtained using traditional shampoo.
The shampoo bar leaves your hair clean, shiny, soft and full-bodied, even for those with fine hair.

Our Shampoo Bar Packaging Is 100% Paper

Our solid shampoos are wrapped in sustainable packaging, made of 100% completely recyclable paper.

Unwrap the shampoo bar carefully to avoid tearing the packaging - Inside you will find useful information about how to use the shampoo and how to preserve it. Don't worry, if you forget you can come back to this blog whenever you need.

The emissions derived from the lifecycle, excluding the use phase, are offset

The packaging is made using FSC paper, fully recyclable

Shampoo Bars Are Easy To Transport & Preserve

Our solid shampoo bars can be transported easily and they use less space compared to a traditional shampoo.

Thanks to the fact that it does not contain liquid, it can be placed in your airplane cabin luggage. If you love camping, hiking, bike rides, or festivalsthe shampoo bar is perfect to optimise space in your backpack or camping supplies.
Within the Essential Haircare line you will also find a convenient aluminium package, customised with Davines illustrations. The box is a versatile travel containerfor solid shampoo and has a small detail that can make the difference: a perforated grid (that is removable and washable), that allows water to flow and drain through, so the bar can dry and guarantees maximum hygiene.

Safeguarding Biodiversity & The Aquatic Environment

These solid shampoos continue the Essential Haircare line sustainable tradition.

The formulas of each shampoo contain up to 97.4% of highly biodegradable ingredients: this means that after rinsing, most of them degrade within 28 days. If you want to know more, we follow the OECD 301 method.
Each product also contains a Slow Food Presidia ingredient, in order to safeguard biodiversity in Italy! When you purchase the Essential shampoo bar, you contribute to protecting the work of a family of farmers, custodians of at risk plant species and artisanal knowledge. In order to thank them, we decided to interview them and tell their story: click on the videos below to learn more.

Shampoo Bars Last up To 40 Washes

If preserved correctly, the shampoo bar lasts a long time. In general, a 100 gram shampoo bar makes it possible to wash between 30 and 40 times, morethan a 250 ml bottle of liquid shampoo.

It's important to keep in mind that the estimated number of washes for a shampoo package depends on some factors such as hair length, thickness, or whether you double cleanse. These can all affect how long your bar lasts.

However, The Shampoo Bar Is Not Perfect

At this point you may be wondering: is a shampoo bar better than a regular shampoo? There's no firm answer, as no shampoo is perfect for all uses and under all sustainability profiles.

A shampoo bar does not need to replace the liquid one, they can complement each other. Exactly in the same way that it happens due to the biodiversity in nature, if we want to obtain products that are always more and more effective and sustainable, we need to diversify our approach. Learn more below!

Packaging

The solid shampoo has an FSC paper packaging, the liquid one has a bio-based plastic one.

Both materials come from renewable sourcesand are completely recyclable: at the end of their life they can be recovered and turned into a new raw material.

Formula

Both the solid and the liquid shampoo contain Slow Food actives and have a high level of biodegradability.

However, there is greater natural content in the liquid shampoo since the method used to produce a solid formula requires ingredients where the molecular structure is partially synthetic.

Use

The shampoo bar is perfect at home, but remember it can be the perfect travel companion when you're on the go.

For our professional community we have 1 litre professional format shampoosavailable that make it possible to minimisepackaging and easily handle salon volumes.

Performance

At this stage, not all Essential families have a corresponding solid shampoo.

But, we are working on this: we will not propose a solid shampoo version until we are absolutely sure we are offering optimal performance!

So, Ready To Try & See For Yourself?

Now that we've covered all bases, the next thing to do is try it for yourself!Discover both the liquid as well as the solid formula, and the best pick for your hair needs.
