with Biodynamic Sage
Sage oil contains thujone and camphor, compounds clinically recognized for their antiperspirant and astringent activity. They help constrict sweat gland output at the scalp surface, directly reducing the wet, damp effect that excessive perspiration creates.
with Organic Eyebright
With anti-inflammatory properties that help maintain a clean, balanced scalp environment under conditions of excess moisture. It prevents the bacterial overgrowth that sweat encourages while calming the irritation that comes with it.
with Lysine Complex
An essential amino acid that helps regulate the biochemical pathways involved in perspiration. This multi-form approach addresses excess sweating from multiple angles while supporting keratin synthesis at the follicle.
with Upcycled Prickly Pear
Prickly pear stem extract is rich in betalains and mucilage polysaccharides that calm the irritation and redness that excessive scalp sweating can trigger. It soothes without adding moisture that could worsen the damp effect, maintaining a comfortable, balanced scalp.

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.
