Nurturing drops, for split ends needing protection and nourishment

For dry, split, or fraying hair ends that need targeted care

Tips look and feel smoother, with less visible splitting and a light, natural shine.

with Biodynamic California Poppy

Grown on our farm in Bologna using biodynamic methods, California poppy is rich in flavonoids and carotenoids that reinforce the disulfide bonds in damaged ends. It helps prevent further splitting and breakage by strengthening the most vulnerable part of the hair shaft.

with Organic cornflower

Cornflower contains anthocyanins and polyphenols that smooth the cuticle surface at the tips, where scales are most likely to be lifted and rough. It reduces friction and improves light reflection, adding a delicate shine specifically where hair needs it most.

with Fair Trade Marula Oil

Marula oil delivers a concentrated dose of oleic acid and vitamin E directly to dehydrated ends. Its molecular weight allows it to absorb into porous, damaged tips efficiently, sealing in moisture and restoring pliability.

with Upcycled Apple Seed Oil

Apple seed oil is rich in linoleic acid and phytosterols that help reconstruct the lipid barrier of split, frayed ends. It provides a clean, non-greasy seal that protects against heat and environmental oxidation throughout the day.

I use the nurturing drops everyday and have noticed a big improvement with the shine and texture of my hair. I have fine silver hair that has highlights and lowlights, which can dry out my hair. I apply the nurturing drops before I dry my hair and sometimes after. No one would ever suspect that my hair is dry because the drops provide lots of shine and moisture. I would highly recommend these drops!

★★★★★ AnonymousVerified buyer

I've been using these for years, initially purchased from my salon. I love them! I have thick, curly hair, and these drops help reduce the frizzies, provide a little shine, and keep the curls in shape. Plus they smell amazing, it's like subtle hair perfume.

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.
