Finally, the impossible choice between staying clean and conserving water is over.
Yesterday at 3:47 PM, we opened an email that changed everything. Independent laboratory results from Microbe Investigations AG (founded by ETH Zürich researchers) were beyond our expectations:
≥99.9% physical removal of virus-size particles with NOWATA soap using a wipe-away routine (apply → rub → wipe) under controlled lab conditions.
This is big news for anyone searching for a practical hand sanitizer alternative when water isn't available.
The Hidden Danger Most People Don't Know About
Here's what most people don't realize: alcohol-based hand sanitizers don't physically remove what's on your skin and don't work well against certain viruses like norovirus. That's why a hand sanitizer alternative that focuses on physical removal matters.
Recent norovirus outbreaks in places like national parks, camps, schools, cruise ships, and outdoor facilities show how quickly issues can spread when hygiene is hard. (Details vary by setting; soap-and-water washing remains the standard whenever available.)
Bottom line: Traditional soap + water is the gold standard for physical removal. When a sink isn't available, you need a removal-first option you can carry.
The Catch-22 We've All Faced
What happens when you're…
- At a festival with questionable facilities?
- Camping with limited water supply?
- On a road trip where rest stops aren't exactly pristine?
- At your child's sporting event with only portable bathrooms?
That impossible choice—wait for a sink or settle for something that doesn't remove debris—needed a better answer. A hand sanitizer alternative you can actually wipe away.

Why Your Current "Solutions" Aren't Complete
The Hand Sanitizer Gap
Sanitizers can be useful—but they don't physically remove debris from skin. And for certain viruses (like norovirus), public health guidance notes sanitizer doesn't work well. A soap-based approach with wipe-off removal fills that gap when a sink isn't available.
The Clean Water Challenge We All Know
"Always wash your hands with soap and water," experts say. Great advice—until you can't trust the water, can't find a sink, or the line is endless. Handwashing can use notable amounts of water, too. Whether you're a busy parent or an outdoor adventurer, a portable hand sanitizer alternative keeps you moving.
The Scientific Breakthrough That Changes Everything
Laboratory Excellence You Can Trust
Microbe Investigations AG didn't just take a glance—they used a modified ASTM E1174 framework on real hands under controlled conditions with murine norovirus (MNV) as a human-norovirus surrogate.
Results under test conditions:
- ≥99.9% physical removal (≈3.21 log reduction)*
- Zero water required
- Real hands, real contamination, wipe-off routine (apply → rub → wipe)
*Result reflects the laboratory method and conditions; see Evidence for full context.
How NOWATA Succeeds Where Others Fall Short
Unlike alcohol-based products, NOWATA soap is soap. It uses a coagulation mechanism that helps trap and lift debris from the skin so you can wipe it away.
Simple 3-step routine:
- Apply ~1.5 g (pea-size) to hands
- Rub thoroughly until you get full coverage (you may see coagulation)
- Wipe off all visible residue with a towel/tissue
No water. No sink. Removal-first. That's what makes it a practical hand sanitizer alternative.
What This Means for Your Life
No More Impossible Choices
Before: Risk exposure or scramble to find clean water and soap.
After: Use a soap-based, wipe-off routine—no rinse needed—and keep going.

Expert Perspective (Plain Talk)
Infectious disease experts often explain that soap acts as a detergent, helping lift and remove material from skin—whereas sanitizers are designed to kill many germs but don't remove debris. That's why soap is preferred when hands are soiled—and why a soap-based, wipe-off routine is a practical alternative to hand sanitizer when no sink is around.
NOWATA soap delivers the soap action you're looking for—minus the sink.
From Challenge to Solution: Why This Matters
Stories we hear all the time:
- "We had to cut the hike short."
- "Vacation derailed by a stomach bug."
- "Office hygiene worries after a busy event."
Reality: Guidance says to wash with soap and water—great when you can.
When you can't: A hand sanitizer alternative that focuses on removal is the practical move.
