smoothing cream

For thick, coarse, or unruly hair that resists control

Guar conditioners and a plant-derived alkane smooth frizz without silicones, while marula oil and trehalose keep lengths soft and hydrated.

with Biodynamic California Poppy

Grown on our farm in Bologna, California poppy is rich in flavonoids and carotenoids that protect the fiber from oxidative stress, so smoothed lengths keep their softness.

with Organic Cornflower

Cornflower's anthocyanins and polyphenols condition the cuticle surface and reduce friction between strands, which calms frizz and lets light reflect evenly.

with Upcycled Orange Pulp

Recovered from orange processing, this extract brings plant proteins and amino acids that coat and structure the strand, helping lengths hold a smooth shape.

with Fair Trade Marula Oil

High in oleic acid and vitamin E, marula oil replenishes the lipid layer of coarse, dry lengths and softens them without the weight of heavier oils.

★★★★★ Sarah LVerified buyer

Best product I have found to tame my natural frizzy hair. I’m also sensitive to chemical fragrances and love the gentle smell that I don’t notice once it is dry. Love this product!

★★★★★ rdrVerified buyer

I really enjoy using this product and combine it with a styling paste to manage my curly, mid-length hair that tends to get dry & frizzy if left untreated after using shampoo & conditioner. I don't need to use it daily, but I use it after washing and in doing so manage to ration it well.

★★★★★ SarahI

Got this at my salon and I have pretty frizzy hair - I have tried MANY smoothing products - didn't know what to expect but it delivers and is honestly the best smoothing product I have ever used for styling/drying straight - PLEASE RESTOCK!!!

The ritual.

After cleansing and conditioning, towel-dry hair thoroughly. Dispense the appropriate amount into your palm, distribute between hands, and apply to the lengths and ends of damp hair. Massage gently, comb through for even distribution, and proceed with styling—no rinsing needed.

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.
