THE OWAY AGRICOSMETIC LABORATORIES

Harvested during their balsamic period, our medicinal herbs are distilled at “0 km” in a stream of vapor and transformed into essential oils, hydrolates and extracts without the use of synthetic solvents.

The biological and biodynamic raw materials are combined with natural and carefully selected ingredients such as pure oils, waxes, butters and plant-based emollients and with the most effective and sustainable active and functional ingredients. Aggressive and potentially harmful synthetic substances are replaced with natural, more delicate and more ecological alternatives.

Biodynamic, organic, but also fair-trade: to enrich our products with ingredients not found within Italy’s biodiversity, we rely on partnerships with international fair trade purchasing networks, contributing to improving the living conditions of developing populations (in Central/South America, South East Asia, Africa and Aboriginal Australia). Respect for the farmers and for the local communities is guaranteed at all stages of production of these raw materials, which with their workforce contribute to the protection of the environment and of local crops.

Each product is formulated based on the most advanced green and clean chemistry principles, starting from the careful selection of each individual ingredient, evaluating its natural qualities, together with its environmental impact and its effectiveness.

Our company’s broad experience (over 70 years of formulations) demonstrates that it is possible to obtain products that offer excellent results without the use of aggressive substances, relying on formulas that improve the capillary and skin structure in a concrete manner, from one application to the next, through the use of concentrated, versatile, professional and pleasant blends.

For years, questions have been asked about the processing and transformation of raw materials and their impact on the environment. That is precisely why when looking at the benefits of clean chemistry, we should also consider the effectiveness of the physical transformations like steam extraction, maceration and pressing – during which the state of the ingredient changes without altering its chemical nature – and the unique properties of plant-derived surfactants, chosen for their performing and more biodegradable formulas.

The expression We love animals communicates our ethical commitment to the animal world, such as our decision not to export our products to countries where there is an obligation to test the products on animals. As a crowning achievement to our work, we have obtained PETA’s recognition and Cruelty Free certification in the USA, the largest association in the world for the protection of animal rights.
