About Davina

+ I support brands and entrepreneurs in the development of innovative hair products, with unique expertise in wavy, curly, coily, and kinky hair. From creating specifications to training in cosmetic formulation, I use science and communication to serve your ambitions, transforming your ideas into impactful products.

+ Passionate about the interface between R&D, marketing, and scientific communication, I offer cross-functional management of your innovative projects. My role? To coordinate expertise to ensure technically sound products, aligned with your vision and capable of evoking strong emotions in your customers.

+ My approach is inspired by emulsion, that subtle and balanced mixture that combines science and sensoriality. Reflecting this transformation, I guide my collaborations towards the perfect harmony between creativity, technical rigor, and storytelling, for products that make a lasting impression and meet consumer expectations.
