OWAY
We utilize a biodynamic method to grow our plants, shrubs and aromatic herbs at the Ortofficina farm on the hills of Bologna, Italy. These organic materials turn into the ultra-performing complexes of essential oils, extracts and hydrolates in our unique formulations. The biodynamic method is the purest and most effective type of cultivation that is free of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides and synthetic fertilizers used in conventional agriculture.
Organic and biodynamic raw materials are combined with carefully selected natural elements, like pure oils, waxes, butters, emollient plants, and the most sustainable active and functional ingredients. Harsh and toxic synthetic products are replaced by natural and more delicate alternatives. Each product is formulated according to the principles of the most advanced green chemistry, which guarantees a perfect balance between natural formula and professional performance.

I-N
INTELLIGENT NUTRIENTS
Our story began with Horst Rechelbacher, influenced by his mothers herbalist traditions. Horst began his career as a hairstylist at the age of 14. In his 20's he continued to pursue his passion for wellness, traveling to India where he studied Ayurveda and its holistic healing methods. In 1978, Rechelbacher founded Aveda, one of the worlds first natural cosmetics companies. From then on, he was known as the "father of safe cosmetics"
​
Horst shared his passion for the healing power of plants with his daughter and her longtime partner as they worked together building Aveda. After Aveda's sale to Estée Lauder, his daughter knew she wanted to continue their family tradition of creating luxurious, effective and environmentally responsible beauty products. In 2008, they launched the worlds first USDA certified organic hair care line, thus beginning I-N.
