WHERE IT STARTED

Our babies were born during the pandemic and clean hands felt like the most important thing in the world. We kept sanitizer in every bag, pocket, and stroller cup holder.

Then one day, after a quick sanitizer squeeze at the park, our toddler reached for a snack — and we realized: everything we’d just put on our hands was now going into our child’s mouth.

Soap wasn’t always there. Sanitizers killed some germs but left dead ones behind… along with the smell, the stickiness, and the next-day dryness. And worse — they don’t work on tough viruses like Norovirus and C. diff, the ones behind school closings and daycare outbreaks.

After two years of development, we created something revolutionary: a plant-based soap that physically  removes bacteria and viruses without water, without chemicals, and without compromise.

WHAT IF THE SOLUTION TO CLEANER HANDS WASN'T ABOUT KILLING GERMS, BUT PHYSICALLY REMOVING THEM?

What if we could save thousands of gallons of water while keeping families safer?

The Problems We Couldn't Ignore

Chemical sanitizer being poured on a hand

Chemical Sanitizers

Hand sanitizers kill some germs but leave harsh chemicals and dead bacteria on skin. Our kids were absorbing these chemicals every time they touched their faces.

Running faucet showing water waste

Water Waste

Traditional handwashing uses up to 2+ gallons per wash. With multiple daily washes, families waste thousands of gallons yearly—unsustainable for our planet’s future.

Access Challenges

Clean water isn’t always available. Whether camping, hiking, at playgrounds, or in public spaces—we needed a solution that works anywhere.

How NOWATA™ Works

Unlike sanitizers that kill germs and leave residue, NOWATA physically removes bacteria and viruses through revolutionary clumping technology.

Clumping action lifting particles off skin

Why We Skip the Antibacterial Overload

Health experts caution against using antibacterial soaps all the time. Why?

Not more effective icon

Not More Effective

Studies show they aren’t more effective than regular soap for routine use.

Microbiome disruption icon

Microbiome Disruption

Overuse can disrupt your skin’s natural microbiome and contribute to antibiotic resistance.

Skin irritation icon

Skin Irritation

Harsh chemicals and fragrances can dry out or irritate skin, especially for kids.
