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.

How do I use a micellar hand soap?
Apply a small amount to damp hands, work it thoroughly with water, then rinse.
What does it smell like?
A fresh and intoxicating blend which combines the rich and sensual notes of spices, the refreshing and citrus notes of bergamot, orange, tangerine and the sweet and herbaceous notes of sage.
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.
