The Moda Team Review: The Ritual That Completes the ELEVATING Experience
The ELEVATING Massage Oil sits at the intersection of professional scalp treatment and wellness ritual. It's the product that makes the ELEVATING service feel like an event — not just a treatment. Designed for use before the shampoo on dry scalp, it delivers a rich, slow-absorbing oil massage that activates microcirculation, nourishes the scalp tissue, and improves the elasticity of both the scalp and the hands doing the work. The oil's texture is luxurious but not heavy: it distributes easily, feels deeply nourishing during the massage, and emulsifies cleanly with water before rinsing without leaving greasy residue.
Bacopa Monnieri Extract — an adaptogenic botanical — adds a layer of scalp wellness benefit that goes beyond surface hydration, supporting scalp oxygenation and the circulatory response to massage. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) provides antioxidant protection to both the scalp and the skin. The hand massage application is also genuinely useful: five drops on clean, dry hands, massaged in, with excess removed by a damp warm towel — a simple, effective add-on to any in-salon service. Suitable for all hair types and all skin types.
Key Active Ingredient
Bacopa Monnieri Extract — An adaptogenic herb from the Ayurvedic tradition, selected for its documented ability to support tissue oxygenation and microcirculation. In the context of scalp massage, it works synergistically with the mechanical stimulation of the massage itself, enhancing the circulatory response and delivering increased nutrient flow to the hair follicles. The base of Sweet Almond Oil, Sunflower Oil, and Soybean Oil provides essential fatty acids and deep nourishment, while Hydrogenated Farnesene contributes the smooth, non-sticky slip that makes the massage technique feel effortless and precise.
Moda Pro Tip
For scalp application, the oil must go onto dry hair before washing — not damp or wet. The oil's ability to penetrate and stimulate microcirculation depends on direct contact with the dry scalp surface. Applying it to damp hair creates a barrier that prevents penetration and significantly reduces the massage benefit. The sequence is oil → massage → add water → emulsify → rinse → then shampoo as usual.

Scalp massage:
- Apply evenly over the entire dry scalp before washing.
- Proceed with a thorough scalp massage.

- Rinse thoroughly.
- Follow with the appropriate NATURALTECH shampoo and conditioner.
Hand massage:
- Apply 5 drops to clean, dry hands.
- Massage thoroughly into hands and fingers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the Davines Naturaltech ELEVATING Massage Oil on the scalp?
Apply it to dry scalp before washing — not to damp hair. Massage thoroughly, then add water to emulsify, rinse out completely, and follow with your regular NATURALTECH shampoo. Applying to dry hair is essential for the oil to penetrate the scalp and activate microcirculation.

Yes. Apply 5 drops to clean dry hands, massage in thoroughly, and remove the excess with a damp warm towel. It's designed as a dual-use oil for both scalp and hand massage during the ELEVATING treatment service.
What does Bacopa Monnieri Extract do in the Davines Naturaltech ELEVATING Massage Oil?
Bacopa Monnieri is an adaptogenic herb that supports scalp oxygenation and microcirculation. During massage, it enhances the circulatory response, increasing nutrient delivery to the follicles and amplifying the nourishing effect of the oil blend.
Is the Davines ELEVATING Massage Oil suitable for all hair and skin types?
Yes. Its light botanical oil base — Sweet Almond, Sunflower, and Soybean — is suitable for all scalp and skin types. It emulsifies cleanly with water and doesn't leave residue after rinsing.
Do I need to use the Davines ELEVATING Massage Oil with the Scalp Recovery Treatment?
