After-sun hair mask, deeply repairs and restores damaged strands
After-sun hair mask, deeply repairs and restores damaged strands

For hair exposed to sun, salt, or chlorine.

Strands feel softer, stronger, and less dry after the first wash.

with Biodynamic Calendula

Calendula contains triterpenoids and faradiol that accelerate skin repair after UV exposure. It soothes sun-inflamed scalps and supports cell regeneration, helping the scalp recover from the damage that prolonged sun, salt, and chlorine cause.

with Yacon Root Juice

This root juice is rich in fructooligosaccharides and inulin that act as prebiotics on the scalp surface. They support the recovery of beneficial microflora disrupted by sun exposure and saltwater, helping restore scalp equilibrium after extended time outdoors.

with Organic Pomegranate

It neutralises the reactive oxygen species UV exposure generates in the hair fiber, limiting the oxidative damage that weakens and stiffens sun-stressed strands. This supports the structural recovery the mask is designed to deliver.

About Oway

What is Agricosmetica®?

Agricosmetica® is how Oway makes cosmetics: actives from biodynamic and certified organic farming, selected with care and processed in a circular system that turns waste into resources, from the field to the bottle.

What is Ortofficina?

Ortofficina is Oway’s farm in the hills of Bologna, farmed with biodynamic methods since the early 2000s. Many of the botanical actives in Oway formulas are grown there and harvested when each plant is at its peak.

What does biodynamic mean?

Biodynamic farming treats the farm as one living system. It builds soil fertility with compost and crop rotation, uses no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and times sowing and harvest to natural cycles. Oway grows its biodynamic actives at Ortofficina and with a network of biodynamic growers.

Why glass and aluminium?

Glass keeps out light, air and moisture, so a formula keeps its purity, potency and freshness, and nothing leaches into it. Oway replaced plastic with recyclable glass and aluminium for its bottles, jars and tubes, to cut single-use plastic.

Where is Oway made?

In Italy. Oway was founded in Bologna in 1948 and still develops its formulas there, close to its farm, Ortofficina.
