ELEVATING Massage Oil
Davines Naturaltech ELEVATING Massage Oil is a botanical scalp and hand massage oil with Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica, and Rosewood Oil that delivers the ELEVATING professional scalp ritual at home — improving circulation, relieving tension, and supporting scalp wellness through intentional massage.
The Moda Team Review: The Most Underused Step in Scalp Care
Scalp massage has a body of evidence behind it that most haircare conversations skip over. Regular, consistent scalp massage increases dermal papilla cell gene expression, improves circulation to the follicle, and over time is associated with measurable improvements in hair thickness. The ELEVATING Massage Oil is Davines' vehicle for making that practice approachable at home — a formula designed for the specific mechanical action of scalp massage, not just a carrier oil that happens to be applied to the head.
The Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract brings antioxidant protection to the freshly stimulated scalp. Centella Asiatica is a clinically backed botanical with wound-healing, microcirculation-improving, and collagen-stimulating properties that translate well to scalp support. Rosewood Oil adds both conditioning and sensory comfort to the ritual. The formula is designed for hand and scalp use — it absorbs relatively cleanly without leaving the scalp feeling oily or requiring an additional wash, making it practical for regular use between shampoos.
Key Active Ingredient
Centella Asiatica Extract — A well-researched botanical with demonstrated activity on microcirculation, collagen synthesis, and wound healing. Applied to the scalp during massage, it supports the vascular response that brings nutrient-rich blood flow to the follicle. Davines pairs it with Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract for antioxidant protection and Rosewood Oil for sensory and conditioning benefit.
Moda Pro Tip
The massage technique matters as much as the product. Use the pads of the fingers — not the nails — in small circular motions across the full scalp, starting at the temples and working toward the crown. Five minutes of consistent, firm (but not painful) pressure is enough to meaningfully stimulate circulation. Build the massage into a weekly ritual alongside the ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment for the full home version of what Davines designed the ELEVATING line around.
How To Use
- Apply a small amount to the fingertips.
- Begin at the temples and work across the scalp in small circular motions using the pads of the fingers.
- Continue for a minimum of 5 minutes for circulation benefit.
- Can also be massaged into hands and cuticles as a hand care step.
- Pair with ELEVATING Scalp Recovery Treatment for the complete ELEVATING home ritual.
