What they found
In a Swiss lab study, NOWATA Soap was shown to physically remove ≥ 99.9% of norovirus particles from hands using a simple apply → rub → wipe routine — with no water required.*

Physical Removal
(1000x fewer particles)
The CDC and infectious disease experts are clear: killing germs isn't enough. You need to remove them. That's the critical difference.
Sanitizers leave dead germs and chemicals on your skin, and can't touch norovirus or c-diff. Soap lifts everything away. That's why experts recommend it.
The problem? You need water to rinse it all away. Until now.
NOWATA gives you soap's removal power without the sink. Apply, rub, wipe—everything comes off. It's what experts have always recommended, finally made portable.

ASTM E1174 Framework
We didn’t want to test on artificial surfaces or in petri dishes. We tested on real human
hands because that’s where NOWATA works.
We chose Murine Norovirus (MNV) as our test organism because it’s the accepted scientific
surrogate for human norovirus, and is one of the toughest viruses to remove and one that
alcohol-based sanitizers can’t handle effectively.

NOWATA™ SOAP
WHAT IS NOWATA™? IS IT A SANITIZER ALTERNATIVE AND ECO-FRIENDLY SOAP?
NOWATA™ is real, rinse-free soap—a sanitizer alternative that brings the soap-and-water standard anywhere a sink isn’t available. It’s positioned as an eco-friendly soap for families and life outdoors, designed for physical removal of germs, dirt, and oils.
HOW DOES NOWATA™ WORK WITHOUT WATER?
Apply → rub → brush or wipe away. NOWATA™ keeps what works about handwashing (real soap + thorough friction) and removes the bottleneck—the rinse. Our nature-derived system lifts and aggregates soils and microbes so they can be brushed off—no tap required.
DOES NOWATA™ ACTUALLY WORK? ANY LAB RESULTS?
Yes. An independent Swiss lab (Microbe Investigations AG, ETH Zürich spin-off) ran a modified ASTM E1174 hand test with a norovirus surrogate and measured 99.94% physical removal in 45 seconds (3.21-log reduction).
WHY CHOOSE NOWATA™ OVER HAND SANITIZER OR WIPES?
Alcohol gels can be harsh/drying and don’t remove visible grime; many are less effective for norovirus. Wipes create single-use waste. NOWATA™ is biodegradable soap built for removal—a practical, planet-minded sanitizer alternative that fits real life.
IS NOWATA™ A BIODEGRADABLE, NATURAL, VEGAN HAND SOAP?
NOWATA™ is plant-based, biodegradable, and formulated to be gentle—making it a strong fit for searches like natural soap, vegan hand soap, best eco friendly soap, and camping soap.
HOW DOES NOWATA™ SUPPORT WATER CONSERVATION?
By eliminating the rinse. A traditional handwash can use ~2 gallons; every on-the-go clean with NOWATA™ saves water by default—small habit, big water conservation impact over time.
HOW DO I USE NOWATA™ FOR CAMPING, HIKING, TRAVEL, OR SCHOOL PICK-UPS?
Think camping soap you don’t have to rinse: 1) apply a small amount to dry hands, 2) rub thoroughly (palms, backs, between fingers, nails) for ~45s until soils gather, 3) brush/wipe the clumps away. Done—no sink.
WHAT MAKES NOWATA™ DIFFERENT FROM OTHER “NO-RINSE” PRODUCTS?
NOWATA™ centers on the soap-and-friction removal mechanism, is rinse-free by design, biodegradable, and backed by independent lab data (>99.9% removal vs. a tough viral surrogate and bacteria). That combination makes NOWATA™ a compelling choice for best eco friendly soap in on-the-go scenarios.
IS NOWATA™ SAFE FOR KIDS AND SENSITIVE SKIN? ANY ALLERGEN NOTES?
NOWATA™ is formulated to be kid-gentle. It contains ethyl macadamiate (derived from macadamia); those with severe nut allergies should patch-test and consult their clinician. As with any soap, avoid eyes and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
WHEN SHOULD I STILL USE A SINK INSTEAD OF NOWATA™?
Use soap and running water whenever available—especially after bathroom use/diapering and before food prep. NOWATA™ exists to extend that natural soap logic to no-sink moments—as a proven, planet-minded sanitizer alternative.
