Davincia

At the heart of any great beauty brand is the ideal of bringing out one’s natural beauty. Any company who wants to augment your beauty by any other means is just not for me. Natural, healthy, and safe, Davincia beauty and cosmetic products are out of this world and respect the integrity of the skin.

The incredible talent behind the brand is Nathalie Forget, N.DA & dermonaturopath. After seven years of intensive research, her star - Biocompatible Care®, a living treatment based on the science of skin flora, was born. This patented treatment, licensed by Health Canada, addresses 15 different skin concerns and is genuinely revolutionary.

After opening her own laboratory in 2015 to ensure the quality of the Davincia® product line and distribution across Canada, the entrepreneur threw herself into writing, penning articles for cosmetology journals and training. Her mission? To educate people about naturopathic dermatology and raise awareness of the ecological footprint of cosmetics.

So why do I love Davincia, and find it to be truly, well, life changing? Let’s be real.. I have tried thousands of beauty products and cosmetic brands all claiming the same things: visibly reduce aging, firm skin elasticity, reduce blotchiness, and all the other things we look for in a great night cream, serum, moisturizer, and so on.

But Davincia has blown me away. Every product I’ve tried is formulated consciously to correct or prevent in a natural way. The Purifica Cleansing & Lightening Foam respects the balance of your skin, so while it removes excess sebum and gently purifies and tightens pores, it doesn’t strip away your skins smooth and suppleness.

While Purifica Cleansing & Lightening Foam is a refreshing gel format, there’s also that granulated scrub my skin loves. I tried Exfolia, a biocompatible mineral exfoliator and not only feels like it’s scrubbing away dead cells, you can actually see your pores tighten and your skin brighten. I started using it twice a week and leave it on for max 2 minutes, but you can also use for a spot treatment if you like.

So I’m all about what’s natural, especially when nature produces collagen! The Aqua Moisturising and Pumping Collagen Mask is the perfect gel-formulated mask to release naturally derived anti-aging ingredients so that your skin replenishes its natural moisture and looks, wait for it, younger! All formulated with biocompatible ingredients and collagen precursors, this mask is all natural! For example, think Schussler salts and Gemmotherapy, two things that we all definitely want to try, am I right? Well, with one spritz of the Luvya invigorating and energizing mist, you’ll spray on a 100% natural product that protects against the environment’s aggressors. I spritz it on after I cleanse but before I moisturize so I can get that optimal healthy glow.

The Idrata Moisturising and Plumping Serum with Polypeptides is exactly what the name claims: hydrating moisturizer that plumps formulated to reduce the look of wrinkles, tighten your skin tone, and illuminate your complexion. Firm, lifted, radiant, and rejuvenated… yes please! After I smooth on my Idrata, I’ll often spot on the Crystal, a concentrate that reduces the appearance of age spots. The Crystal cream has a calming effect on the skin and restores balance by unifying the complexion and evening out your overall skin colour.

There are combo uses of the Davincia line that help up the ante on performance. Like Vitalita, the anti-aging firming cream, which works super well if paired with Purifica, Idrata, and Luvya, but honestly, you can lather on the Vitalita all on its own and it’ll still work wonders. A protective barrier for your skin, I’ve been using this as a day and night cream, and I gotta say, it feels regenerative – a youthful glow all day (and night) long!

I always look for a skincare line that cares for my skin as much as it claims to, but legit most of those natural beauty products either don’t work or they smell, well, let’s just say, they smell less than stellar, but Davincia found the perfect balance – the fragrance is on point, the products works, and not only do they work, but they slay!

Davincia is the true Holistic approach to skincare- top quality natural ingredients from organic farming, effective products that are healthy for humans and the planet… Davincia® is a socially conscious company that makes no compromises.
