Our Mission

We’re Parents First, Scientists Second.

As parents, we faced impossible choices everywhere. Sanitizers that left chemicals on our kids’ skin, soap that wasted gallons of water, or wipes that created mountains of trash. We refused to accept the trade-off between cleanliness and responsibility.

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

We created it for our family. Now we’re sharing it with yours.

FAQ

NOWATA™ SOAP

HOW IS NOWATA™ SOAP DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SOAPS?

NOWATA™ soap doesn’t need rinsing or wiping. It’s biodegradable and great for using on the go! Unlike regular soap that uses a lot of water, our soap keeps your hands clean and soft without any water at all.

HOW DOES NOWATA™ SOAP WORK?

NOWATA™ soap is made so you don’t need water or a towel. Just put a little on your hands, rub them together, and watch the soap pick up all the dirt. The dirt will fall off, leaving your hands clean and fresh!

HOW MUCH NOWATA™ SOAP SHOULD I USE?

Use a small drop of soap, about the size of a dime. This is enough to clean and refresh your hands. If needed, you can wash again.

HOW LONG DOES A SINGLE BOTTLE OF NOWATA™ SOAP LAST?

NOWATA™ soap is made to last a long time (80-100 uses), even if you use it often. One bottle can last for months, depending on how much you use. Our soap is strong, so you only need a little each time. Plus, the small bottle is easy to carry and use anywhere you go.

IS NOWATA™ SOAP SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?

Yes, NOWATA™ soap is safe for all skin types. We use natural ingredients that are gentle, clean deeply, and keep skin soft. Our soap has no harsh chemicals, fragrances, or fake ingredients that might hurt your skin. It’s great even for sensitive skin!

However, some people may still have allergies. If you feel any discomfort, stop using the soap right away.

IS NOWATA™ SOAP ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?

Yes! We want to make a product that cares for your skin and the planet. Our NOWATA™ soap is biodegradable, which means it breaks down safely over time without hurting the environment. Plus, each time you use our soap, you save about two gallons of water. So, you can feel good about using it and know you're helping the earth too.

HOW DOES NOWATA™ SOAP SAVE WATER?

NOWATA™ soap helps save water because you don’t need any water to wash your hands. Just one use of our soap cleans and softens your hands, with no rinsing needed. Each time you use it, you save up to two gallons of water!

IS NOWATA™ SOAP EFFECTIVE AGAINST GERMS LIKE COVID VARIANTS?

NOWATA™ has been independently tested and demonstrated 99.9% reduction against Murine Norovirus and E.coli. However, NOWATA™'s primary strength is its mechanical cleaning action - it physically removes dirt, oils, and debris that can harbor germs, which the CDC identifies as the most effective method for reducing viral and bacterial transmission.

While we cannot make specific claims about COVID-19 variants without direct testing, the combination of proven antiviral activity plus physical contaminant removal makes NOWATA™ an effective hygiene solution when traditional soap and water aren't available.

For specific medical concerns, consult healthcare professionals and follow CDC guidelines.

WHAT ABOUT THE "DIRT BALLS" THAT FALL OFF?

The “dirt balls” fall off by themselves without needing water or wipes. It's safe for the planet, but try to use it outside or over a trash can so there’s no mess.

DOES NOWATA™ SOAP CONTAIN NUTS? IS IT SAFE FOR PEOPLE WITH NUT ALLERGIES?

NOWATA contains ethyl macadamiate, which comes from macadamia oil. The way we make this ingredient changes it completely from its original nut form.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG.org) lists this ingredient as low-risk and safe for most people. Many everyday products like lotions and creams use it without allergy warnings.

Most people with nut allergies can use products with ethyl macadamiate safely because the processing removes the parts that usually cause allergic reactions.

However, we want to be honest with you. If you have a very severe macadamia nut allergy:

Try a small spot test on your wrist first

Watch for any unusual reactions

Ask your doctor if you're unsure

We made NOWATA to be gentle for most skin types while staying true to our promise of using plant-based ingredients that break down naturally in nature.

NOWATA™ Dry Shampoo

WHAT IS DRY SHAMPOO, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Dry shampoo soaks up extra oil and keeps your hair looking clean and fresh without water.

DOES DRY SHAMPOO REPLACE REGULAR WASHING?

No, it helps you go longer between regular washes. It’s great for travel or outdoor adventures.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE DRY SHAMPOO?

Use it as needed, but avoid overuse as buildup can occur. It’s best for occasional refreshes between washes.

CAN DRY SHAMPOO WORK FOR ALL HAIR TYPES?

Yes, dry shampoo works on all hair types, but it may work differently if your hair is oily or thick.

HOW DO I APPLY DRY SHAMPOO?

Sprinkle it on your roots, gently massage in, and brush through for a refreshed look.
