Oway

our verdict

Though brand is cruelty free, We hope some ingredients are replaced for greener alternatives. Brand needs to give transparency in supply chain for Mica and Shea used as these ingredients have ethical concerns.

recycle material

Brand uses aluminium & glass for products packaging.
This is what they have to say about their packaging, "Brand packaging come in glass bottles and jars and aluminium tubes: the most suitable materials to protect the preservation and integrity of the botanical extracts of our formulas contained in them. Glass is 100% pure and does not release toxic substances nor contain potentially harmful chemical products. Aluminium is an extremely protective and corrosion-resistant material, as well as 100% recyclable and infinitely reusable.
Brand communication and salon set-up materials are recycled or eco-certified: FSC-certified paper and cardboard, PEFC-certified wood, bioplastics, recycled PET".

It is important to note, that while it is the endeavour of the brand to be plastic free, some bottles may have caps & pumps which may have some plastic components.
It is essential for you to recycle these with your local recycling center.
