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 frizzy, dry, or unruly hair needing lightweight frizz control and definition
Frizz settles, texture becomes softer, and hair gets natural definition without heaviness.
with Biodynamic California Poppy
California poppy is rich in flavonoids and carotenoids that help smooth and realign the cuticle layer. It reduces the surface roughness that causes frizz, leaving the hair fiber softer and more light-reflective.
with Organic cornflower
Cornflower contains anthocyanins and polyphenols that protect the hair from environmental oxidation that dulls shine over time. It helps maintain the radiance of freshly styled hair throughout the day while conditioning the strand for a lasting silky feel.
with Fair Trade Marula Oil
Marula oil is high in oleic acid and vitamin E that penetrate the strand to nourish from within. It delivers deep conditioning without surface residue, keeping hair feeling lightweight and natural while controlling frizz and sealing split ends.
with Upcycled Olive Fruit Extract
This extract delivers squalene and hydroxytyrosol that replenish the hair's depleted lipid barrier. It restores the natural protective layer that keeps moisture in and humidity out, improving manageability and reducing the need for frequent restyling.
sublime hair milk
For frizzy, dry or unruly hair: a light milk that seals the cuticle and adds soft definition.

Will it weigh my hair down?
No. Marula and coconut oils condition without heaviness or residue, so the milk smooths frizz and adds soft definition without weight.

Will it define my natural texture?
Yes. It brings out natural texture and movement with soft definition and a silky finish, while it seals the cuticle against frizz.
Does it help with tangles?
Yes. It makes hair more manageable and easier to detangle, so it combs through without effort.
Is it vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. It is vegan and cruelty-free, and free from sulfates, silicones, parabens, phthalates and PEGs.

Floral notes of citrus, with an aromatic background and hints of wood.
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.
