quick glue

For short to medium styles needing high hold with a satin finish

Styles set firmly with a natural sheen between matte and glossy. No crunch, no flaking.

with Biodynamic California Poppy

California poppy is rich in flavonoids and carotenoids that protect the hair fiber from oxidative stress during high-hold styling. It maintains strand health and natural luster beneath the gel's strong structure, preventing the dull, fatigued look that heavy styling can cause.

with Organic Cornflower

It contains anthocyanins and polyphenols that condition the hair surface within the gel's hold matrix. It contributes to the satin finish by keeping styled strands smooth and light-reflective rather than matte or chalky, ensuring definition looks refined rather than rigid.

with Fair Trade Marula Oil

Marula oil delivers oleic acid and vitamin E that provide flexibility within a high-hold formula. It prevents the cracking and flaking that strong gels can produce during movement, keeping structured styles intact while allowing natural motion.

with Upcycled Grape Extract

Grape seed, skin, and stem extract is concentrated in resveratrol and proanthocyanidins that shield styled hair from UV and environmental oxidation. It protects color integrity and strand vitality in short to medium styles with high exposure throughout the day.

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.
