In the very topical documentary by Sir David Attenborough ‘A Life on This Planet’ he says “climate change is real, our planet is in decline because of human degradation . We humans are sending this planet into decline, replacing the wild with the tame. If we don’t act quickly, we are headed for disaster. If together we act now, we can put it right”. Sir David has spent almost 70 years exploring the planet and he has witnessed the change firsthand.
Davide Bollati, President of Comfort Zone agrees: “The next 10 years are fundamental to reverse the current economic and social paradigm that has become unsustainable. “Economy” and “Ecology” have the same etymological matrix: we must return to their right interdependence and balance to regenerate our planet and society.”
It’s a call to arms for governments, companies and people to act, and the vision of Comfort Zone has never been more relevant.
Comfort Zone is not about a product, or a brand. It’s about a way of life.
The company exists to drive to change the world for good and to help the industry lift its game. All without compromising on a product that delivers results, and an exquisite experience at the hands of skilled therapists. At the centre of the philosophy is the home of brand, the Davines Village in Parma, Italy where the global HQ office, R&D labs, production and logistics are based. And if you visit (in true Italian style, everyone is welcome!), you’ll join the team in a 3-course lunch in the on-site restaurant with seasonal menus by a Michelin star chef made from produce grown at the Village.
But it’s not all beauty and lunches. There is hard work to be done when you’ve got ambitions as lofty as this, and it all starts at home.
The House of Sustainable Beauty
Designed by world-renowned architect Matteo Thun, the Davines Village is a place where ethics and aesthetics co-exist in harmonious balance. Every aspect of the pulsating heart of Comfort Zone is considered to capture nature – from renewable energy and recycled water to an 11-kilometre green belt of trees planted en-route to Milan to capture and neutralise
C02 emissions.
The Scientific Garden is an on-site open-air laboratory and home to more than 6,000 plants from around the world including medicinal and aromatic plants. It’s the starting point for all product R&D to grow, harvest, extract and test plant-based ingredients for the phyto-nutrient performance and potency.
Certified B Corporation, doing business for good

Sacred Nature: Bioregenerative Skincare
Bollati said “We need to rewrite the progress. A product has to be part of the solution, instead of part of the problem: this means to embrace regeneration and revolutionise the way we formulate, select the ingredients and design our ranges”.
The launch of the new Sacred Nature capsule collection stands true and tall in the category of sustainable, ethical and bio-regenerative skincare. A game changer at working to mitigate our climate crisis and to give back with a carbon negative product range that is vegan, Cosmos Organic, EWG Certified and free from silicones, parabens, mineral oil, artificial colorants and SLS. All with independent clinical testing for proven efficacy to deliver results.
The range features bio-fermented, phyto-active antioxidants in the
Scientific Garden ExtractTM from myrtle, elderberry and pomegranate grown in Italy to support organic and regenerative agriculture, biodiversity and local communities. Combined with additional specific biotechnological actives for each individual formulation to defend the skin against environmental aggressors, stimulate cell renewal and optimise skin balance and resilience.
