We’ve drawn inspiration from the Age of Enlightenment, where everything was possible through science, and reason was at the base of thought.
Our goal is to create the same scientific breakthroughs but with haircare, respecting clients’ needs, values, and visions.

TheCenturyOfLightRefillKits
Professionals can purchase refills in a standalone kit, giving you more of the great quality pre-lightening product you need in a more sustainable format. The kits feature:
92% plastic saving*
48% overall material saving**
47% lightening powder per pallet***

*2 refill bags are 92% plastic saving, compared to using two standard Progress jars. The percentage is calculated by considering the weight of the refill bags (7 grams each) compared to the weight of two jars (63 grams each), their lids (16 grams each) and the plastic bags containing the powder (9.5 grams each). Overall, the weight of the 2 refill bags is 14 grams. The weight of 2 completed jars is 177 grams.
**Which corresponds to a reduction of CO2 emissions, including extraction, transport and packaging removed. This reduction is calculated by considering the weight of all materials used in the packaging of the refill kit and the standard product: paper and plastic.
The percentage is calculated by considering the weight of the refill bags (7 grams each) and the weight of the box used to transport the kit (108 grams). This weight is compared to the weight of two jars (63 grams each), their lids (16 grams each), the plastic bags containing the powder (9.5 grams each) and the weight of the paper of the box needed to transport two jars (107 grams). The plastic reduction is -92%. The paper use increase by 20%. Overall, the materials reduction is -48%.
***The kit development optimises the logistics and transport of the goods. Considering the dimensions and weight of the standard progress jars, a single pallet can transport 420 completed jars. With the refill kit, a standard pallet can transport 616 powder bags, leading to a 47% increase in the number of powder bags transported per pallet.
Features&Performance
Davines’ Research and Development Laboratories have upgraded The Century of Light range with a unique active ingredient called Acetyl Aspartic Acid used in our HAIR PROTECTIVE BOOSTER+ formula.
On the surface, the lipidic layer that protects and smooths the cuticle can be stripped away.
Deeper within the hair, the keratin structure—held together by essential bonds—can become weakened or broken, reducing strength and elasticity.
Thanks to its advanced formulation, HAIR PROTECTIVE BOOSTER+, included in Davines’ The Century of Light range, works on two key levels:
Protection
Davines’ HAIR PROTECTIVE BOOSTER+ in The Century of Light formulas helps restore a protective surface layer around the hair. The cuticles are compact, and the hair appears in a better and shinier state.
Strengthening
The HAIR PROTECTIVE BOOSTER+ contained in The Century of Light formulas acts as a bridge between the keratin fibres, reconnecting broken bonds. This creates a compact and stronger internal hair structure.
The images obtained with an electron microscope demonstrate the efficacy of the HAIR PROTECTIVE BOOSTER+ on the hair fibre:
