What it does

  • Pigment Shield. Biodynamic grape leaf polyphenols neutralise the free radicals that oxidise and dull cosmetic colour molecules
  • Tone Depth. Upcycled walnut extract binds to keratin and reinforces the fibre's reflective depth where colour has faded unevenly
  • Cuticle Seal. Organic linseed mucilage and an acidic pH close the raised cuticle that lets pigment escape during washing
  • Fibre Compaction. Dimer dilinoleate esters and behentrimonium fill porosity in chemically treated lengths, restoring elasticity
  • Weightless Slip. Rich, creamy texture that detangles and softens without coating the hair or weighing down fine strands

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.
