Curly hair co-wash, cleansing milk with conditioning action for medium/intense curly hair

For curly to coily hair that over-dries with regular shampooing

Hair comes out clean and conditioned with curl pattern and moisture intact.

with Biodynamic Fennel

Fennel oil contains anethole and fenchone that help regulate scalp sebum while providing gentle antiseptic action. It keeps the scalp clean and balanced between full washes, essential for co-wash routines that skip traditional surfactants.

with Organic St. John's Wort

St. John's wort contains hypericin and hyperforin, bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and reparative properties that soothe reactive scalps and help maintain the structural integrity of curly hair, which is naturally more prone to dryness and mechanical damage.

with Upcycled Rice Extract

This extract is rich in inositol, a cyclic sugar that penetrates the hair shaft and strengthens internal hydrogen bonds. It improves curl memory and elasticity, helping curls bounce back to their natural shape after manipulation and styling.

with Rapeseed Phytosterols

Derived from rapeseed, these plant sterols mimic the lipid composition of the hair's natural protective layer. They help rebuild the cuticle barrier that curly hair loses through friction and manipulation, restoring smoothness and reducing the porosity that leads to frizz and moisture imbalance.

I like this product because it moisturizes my dry wavy hair. I also love the natural ingredients and glass bottles

★★★☆☆ Rachel ShalitVerified buyer

Nice co wash. Lathers well. Thought it would make my hair feel soft and not need leave in conditioner. It acts more like a shampoo so I still needed leave in. A little disappointed efoecily given the price.

Makes my hair feel soft and moisturized.

Massage gently for 2–3 minutes to allow the formula to penetrate and condition, then rinse thoroughly. Ideal for frequent use or as a second cleanse following CURLY HAIR BATH for a deeper treatment.

Grown, not sourced.

We don't source ingredients. We grow them. At Ortofficina, our farm in the Bolognese hills, botanicals are cultivated using strict biodynamic methods and harvested at peak potency, the precise window when each plant delivers its highest concentration of active properties.

Agricosmetica® is Oway's proprietary approach to cosmetics, developed over 75 years of research at the intersection of Italian agricultural science and professional haircare. Every formula is built on biodynamic and certified organic ingredients, produced in a closed, circular system with zero tolerance for compromise.

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.
