FAQ

Every [ comfort zone ] product is designed, formulated and produced on our premises and in our laboratories in Parma, Italy.

At [ comfort zone ] we believe that the balance between beauty and sustainability, what we call “sustainable beauty”, can improve our lives and the world around us. By creating "beauty” we want to encourage people to take care of themselves, of the environment in which they live and work and of the things they love. For Davines, sustainability represents the brand’s responsibility to ourselves, the people we work with, our customers, and the world in which we live and operate.

The cornerstones on which we base our packaging selection process are: using as little raw material as possible, using recyclable material, optimizing logistics and implementing quality control to avoid waste. We use the minimum amount of plastic needed to contain and protect our products; we only use primary packaging and have eliminated external cardboard boxes. We prefer recycled or compostable materials; when possible, we develop packaging that can be reused. We also use recyclable materials for the creation of our packaging. Several years ago, we adopted a policy of compensation for the emission of greenhouse gas, aiming for carbon neutrality of the packaging of our most popular product lines. Davines was the first Italian company in the professional cosmetic sector to join LifeGate's Zero Impact® project. In 2018, Davines achieved carbon neutrality in packaging for all of the Group’s product lines, compensating Co2 emissions with the creation and protection of forests in various areas of the world and, in particular, by supporting the Ethio Trees project for the regeneration of land and forests in Ethiopia, supporting local farming communities for the procurement of drinking water.

The Davines Village, where [ comfort zone ] products are produced, is carbon neutral. In our factories and offices, we use only electricity and thermal energy (biomethane) from renewable sources. These inexhaustible sources of energy do not emit CO2, do not pollute, and are constantly renewed. Every product we formulate, design and produce is manufactured using clean energy.

“Davines does not aim to be the biggest company in the world, but to be the most beautiful and the most ethical thanks to everyone’s commitment." Davide Bollati - chairman of the Davines group (during the 2006 meeting where the Carta Etica was handed out to Davines employees). Our Carta Etica is inspired by the concept of beauty taken from an ancient philosophy that unequivocally associates “beauty” with “goodness”. After years of work with a philosopher advisor, Davines employees have put together a list of professional values related to behavior and work ethic, and to the way in which small everyday gestures can improve the work environment. It is basically a tool that helps us to describe how the Davines way of working is conceived and perceived. Unlike strict codes, our Carta does not contain rules or instructions. We work every day to ensure that this cohesion from shared values reverberates in the quality of our services. In this perspective, the Carta Etica has become fundamental for our vision of beauty.

As of 2004, European cosmetic regulations prohibit testing of finished products on animals: even before that, [ comfort zone ] had never used animal testing. As for raw materials, they stopped being tested on animals only in 2013: as a member of Unipro, [ comfort zone ] has always supported the research of alternative solutions to the testing of raw materials on animals.

The Davines Group has been a B Corp since 2016. This certification awarded by the Italian body B Lab is a result of the company’s new way of doing business, combining profit making with the objective of generating a positive impact on people and on the environment. This is expressed through the continuous development of new projects inside and outside the company to positively affect the environment and people.

Allergens are substances which are usually harmless to most people, but which in some individuals can be sensitizing.

Very common in essential oils, they are also present in the natural component of perfumes.

Some substances declared as allergens have the ability to protect cosmetics against contamination and are therefore recognized as alternative preservatives also approved by green certifications.

Comfort zone chooses fragrances with no or low allergenic content and uses essential oils for an aromatherapy action only in a few lines.

It is possible to recognize the presence of any allergens from the ingredients list, where, if present in the formula, they must be reported.

Gluten free claim in the cosmetic field has a different value from that communicated in the food field.

Celiac disease is a permanent intolerance to gliadin, contained in gluten, a set of proteins in turn contained in wheat, barley, rye, spelled and other minor cereals.

It affects the intestinal mucosa causing a reduction in the absorption capacity of the intestine. Cosmetics therefore do not interfere with this intolerance and therefore Comfort Zone does not boast the gluten-free claim.

No, cosmetic products do not have an expiration date.

The legislation establishes that only if the date of minimum duration of the cosmetic product is less than 30 months, this must necessarily be reported on the label. This is the date on which the product, properly stored, continues to fulfill its initial function and remain safe. This period must be indicated with the words "Use preferably by ..." followed by the month and year. If necessary, the conditions to be respected to guarantee it are also specified on the label.

The indication of the date of minimum duration is not, however, mandatory for cosmetic products that have a duration of more than 30 months because they have been tested to maintain their characteristics unaltered for a longer period if properly stored.

PAO (Period After Opening) indicates the number of months by which a cosmetic product must be used once it has been opened.

The PAO indicates the "Period After Opening" and indicates the recommended period of use, once the package is opened.

After this period the product may lose its effectiveness and the coverage of the preservatives may be decreased.

[comfort zone] products are cosmetic formulations to be applied on intact and healthy skin. They are formulated according to legal indications, with certified ingredients, safe for the consumer.

The formulation philosophy, conscious skin science ™ contributes to increasing product safety. However, it is not possible to develop lines suitable for any skin allergy. We suggest to those who suffer from it to carefully read the ingredients list on the back and carry out a patch test before use.

The headquarters are located in Parma, the main production site where the formulas are produced.

[ comfort zone ] products are formulated in line with current cosmetic regulations. However, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, strong changes occur in every woman's body which is important not to underestimate.

So, before using Comfort Zone products during pregnancy or breastfeeding, ask your gynecologist or family doctor for advice: knowing your personal history, he will be able to guide you better.

[ comfort zone ] products are formulated following the regulations in force together with a strict formulation of the brand. Used according to the instructions on the packaging, they can be considered safe.

The ingredient list of each Comfort Zone product is printed on the back of each box or product.

INCI (International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredients) is an international name used to indicate on the label the various ingredients present in a cosmetic product.

The INCI list includes all the substances used in a cosmetic formula starting with the one found in the highest concentration to the one with the lowest concentration. All the substances included in the formula are listed. In addition, Davines have decided to also include in the INCI list the preservatives of raw materials (this is not required by the law) to ensure maximum transparency about the formulas.

Each product, depending on the purpose and area of application, has its own pH range. It is not possible to identify a single pH for all products.

The Davines Group has always been committed to making the highest quality products that
meet high ethical standards. For this reason, in respect of its values, the Davines Group does
not test its products, or the ingredients used in formulations on animals, nor does it delegate
this type of testing to third parties.

As a result, in 2017, the Davines Group suspended the registration of new products in China
to prevent animal testing by local authorities during registration, as required by law.

Only in 2021, the Group restarted the process of importing its products to China, following
the introduction of the new Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR 2021, Decree No. 727 of the State Council), as it abolished the necessity of animal testing
at registration stage for some categories

[ comfort zone ] follows the formulation philosophy, "science based conscious formulas" which excludes the use of mineral oil or paraffin oil.

For specific problems such as these, we recommend you seek the advice of a specialist.

[ comfort zone] products should be stored avoiding significant thermal changes and limiting exposure to direct light for long periods.

Palm oil is an ingredient used in the production of some ingredients used in cosmetics.

comfort zone seeks to have all suppliers associated with the RSPO, a certification body for the sustainable cultivation of palm oil. Together with this approach [comfort zone] follows the differentiation criterion which involves the search for a balance in the use of different oils to reduce the use of palm oil and therefore the environmental impact associated with it.

At [ comfort zone], “natural origin ingredient” means an ingredient that retains 100% of its naturalness, even after a chemical transformation obtained by an approved process. This does not include any raw materials with a synthetic component.

The “modified natural” definition applies to ingredients that have a natural part combined with a synthetic part.

Synthetic ingredients are those that are completely obtained from synthetic reactions.

Biodegradability is calculated as the sum of the percentage of rapidly biodegradable raw materials according to the OECD 301 method. This method defines as “rapidly biodegradable” an ingredient that exhibits a degradation of at least 70% over 28 days.
