The complete Davines Alchemic Golden colour-maintenance system — Shampoo and Conditioner together for golden-blonde to honey-blonde hair that stays vibrant, warm, and luminous between colour appointments.
What's Included
The Moda Team Review
Colour fades fastest in the first two to three weeks after an appointment — and the goal of the Alchemic system is to slow that fade with a wash routine that actively maintains the tone rather than just cleansing passively. Alchemic Golden does this with pure warm pigments (Basic Yellow 57 and Basic Brown 17) deposited at both the shampoo and conditioner step, so tone maintenance happens at every wash with no additional effort or time.
The Shampoo and Conditioner are designed as a system — each contributes a pigment layer at different contact points, and the cumulative effect of using both is a warmer, more vibrant result than using either product alone. The Shampoo provides the first pigment deposit with a gentle cleanse; the Conditioner provides a longer-contact second deposit while simultaneously conditioning with Jojoba Seed Oil, Tocopherol, and UV protection.
Who is this for: any client with golden-blonde to honey-blonde natural or coloured hair who wants to maintain warmth and vibrancy between appointments. This is the warm-blonde counterpart to Alchemic Silver — not a toner or colour treatment, but a wash routine that extends and enhances the tone that is already there. Non-permanent, washes out in approximately 3 shampoos, commitment-free to try.
Why These Two Work Better Together
The shampoo deposits pigment during the cleanse step — a short contact time that begins the tone maintenance. The conditioner's richer formula allows a longer contact time (5 minutes) for deeper pigment deposit and simultaneous Jojoba Oil and UV filter conditioning. Both steps together deliver better colour maintenance and better condition than either step alone — the reason Davines formulates them as a system rather than standalone products.
Key Active Ingredients
-
Basic Yellow 57 + Basic Brown 17 (Pure Pigments, both products): The warm golden-yellow pigment blend deposited at every wash. Intensifies and illuminates golden-blonde to honey-blonde tones. Non-permanent; washes out in approximately 3 shampoos.
-
Panthenol / Provitamin B5 (Shampoo): Conditions and strengthens the hair shaft at the cleanse step.
-
Jojoba Seed Oil + Tocopherol (Conditioner): Conditions, seals the cuticle, and provides antioxidant protection against the oxidative damage that accelerates colour fade.
-
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Conditioner): UV filter that protects colour molecules from sun-triggered fade between appointments.
Moda Pro Tip
The most common application error with Alchemic is rinsing the conditioner too quickly. Five minutes is the correct contact time — it is what makes both the colour deposit and the Jojoba conditioning effective. Apply to damp hair after the Shampoo, comb through for even distribution, wait 5 minutes, rinse with cool water. For the shampoo: apply to damp (not soaking wet) hair and leave 2–3 minutes before rinsing for better pigment contact than an immediate rinse. The duo can be alternated with Alchemic Silver for natural blonde clients who want to balance warmth — one Golden wash, one Silver wash — to maintain richness without brassiness.
