For oily, flaky scalps that need active treatment between washes
Biodynamic thyme and nettle regulate sebum. Burdock and climbazole target oily dandruff. Alpha-glucan and inulin support long-term scalp balance.
with Biodynamic thyme
Thyme contains thymol, a phenolic compound with potent antifungal activity that targets the Malassezia yeast driving oily dandruff. As a leave-in treatment, its sustained contact allows deeper, more lasting antimicrobial action than rinse-off formulas.
with Organic nettle
Nettle leaf is rich in silicic acid and formic acid that help constrict overactive sebaceous glands and normalize oil production gradually. Unlike harsh degreasers, it works with the scalp's biology to reduce greasiness without triggering the rebound overproduction that worsens oily conditions.
with Organic burdock root
Burdock root contains arctiin and inulin, prebiotic compounds that support beneficial scalp microflora while drawing out excess lipids and impurities. It helps prevent the cycle of buildup and flaking from returning, extending the results of each application over time.
with Upcycled Prickly Pear
Prickly pear stem extract is rich in betalains and mucilage polysaccharides that calm the redness and itching associated with oily dandruff. It delivers soothing relief without adding moisture that could exacerbate oiliness, maintaining a balanced, comfortable 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.
