A work of art for your hair, Agricolor is a versatile professional color system dedicated to purity, efficacy and environmental responsibility.




Oway, a leading brand in ethical beauty, recently announced its latest revolutionary innovation: Customize Your Agricolor—a versatile professional color system dedicated to purity, efficacy and environmental sustainability.
Oway’s new creative color system strives to emphasize artistry, customization and sustainable innovation and is the first permanent hair coloring system with more than 35% biodynamic and organic Sage Macerate, a plant-derived keratin and ethical Sicilian Prickly Pear oil, sustainably sourced from the brand’s Ortofficina. Agricolor embodies Oway’s commitment to maximum purity and efficacy, with minimal human impact on the environment.
A Compact range, consisting of 10 natural bases, 16 vibrant pigments, a universal clear base, dedicated toners and diverse developers, Agricolor empowers stylists to become color alchemists.
To officiate the launch, on February 18th and 19th, Oway will be hosting an exclusive ‘Agri-life’ presentation and series of workshops to unveil Agricolor’s range of hair color products designed to transorm hair into a true work of art.
The “Customize Your Agricolor” event will take place in Chicago at The Joinery, and will mark the US debut of Oway’s Global Hair Color Manager, Jo McKay, in her newly minted role for the Italian brand. McKay, alongside the Oway Collective team, will introduce ‘Agricolor’ to beauty industry experts and demonstrate the unmatched professional full range of shades and combinations that deliver long lasting results.
In addition to the introduction of Agricolor, the program will also offer an opportunity to salon owners and hairstylists in attendance to discover Oway’s complete product range—Care, Styling, Skin and Lifestyle.
