No water. No waste. No compromise.
OUR STORY: BORN FROM NECESSITY
In the heart of New England, two adventure-loving parents faced a common dilemma while camping with their family: how to maintain cleanliness without wasting precious water.
Determined to find a solution that was both effective and eco-friendly, they embarked on a quest to create a soap that would respect nature while serving outdoor enthusiasts.
Drawing inspiration from their regional roots – where "water" is pronounced "wata" – NOWATA was born: a name that embodies our commitment to water conservation and environmental stewardship.
LESS WATER. MORE ADVENTURE.
