The bottle is part of the formula
Every Oway bottle is glass and aluminium. No plastic means no leaching and no microplastics in your formula. Glass keeps out light, air and moisture, so the formula arrives as it left the lab.
About our packaging
For styles that need strong hold with workable flexibility before setting
Strong-hold formula with a workable window: stays flexible for reshaping, then sets. Style holds firmly all day with no stiffness, flaking, or residue.
with Biodynamic California Poppy
California poppy is rich in flavonoids and carotenoids that help protect the hair fiber from oxidative stress caused by environmental exposure. It maintains strand integrity under the tension of structured styling and strong hold.
with Organic cornflower
Cornflower contains anthocyanins and polyphenols that condition the hair surface even within a high-hold formula. It helps prevent the dryness and brittleness that strong-hold sprays can cause over time, keeping styled hair looking natural rather than coated.
with Fair Trade Marula Oil
Marula oil delivers oleic acid and vitamin E that maintain strand flexibility within the hold matrix. It allows the spray to set with structure while preserving enough pliability that hair moves naturally without flaking or cracking.
with Upcycled Grape Extract
Grape seed, skin, and stem extract is concentrated in resveratrol and proanthocyanidins, potent antioxidants that shield hair from UV-induced protein degradation and color fading. It extends the life of styled hair exposed to sun and pollution.
sculpting mist
For lasting structure: a strong-hold hairspray that stays workable for minutes before it sets.

Can I reshape my hair after spraying?

Is it good for long hair?
Yes. It is made for sculpting long hair and for bold, creative looks that need lasting structure.
Can I make the hold stronger?
Yes. Spray it evenly on dry hair as the last step, then pass a blow dryer briefly over the hair for extra hold.
Is it vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. It is vegan and cruelty-free, and free from silicones, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrance and phthalates.
What does it smell like?
Sweet and precious fragrances with notes of vanilla, anise and aromatic woods. Fresh hints suggest citrus nuances in the background.
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.
