Go beyond sanitizer with

NOWATA™ Rinse-Free Soap Sampler (3 Pack) – Unscented Waterless, Plant-Based Hand Soap

Benefits +
Real soap that works anywhere adventure takes you. Unlike sanitizers that only kill some germs and leave dirt behind, NOWATA physically lifts and clumps away everything on your skin—from playground grime to trail sap, camp grease to sandbox sand.

In controlled laboratory testing, NOWATA physically removed over 99.9% of virus particles from skin surfaces—including stubborn residues that sanitizers can't touch.*

NOWATA benefit icons: rinse-free, gentle on skin, no harsh chemicals, planet-friendly
*Based on controlled lab testing using a human virus surrogate. For hand cleansing only—not intended to treat or prevent disease.
How It Works +
Watch it work like magic—from soap to clumps you simply brush away. No harsh scrubbing, no drying alcohol, no wasted water. Just clean hands in four simple steps, whether you're setting up camp or getting kids ready for snacks.
Step 1: Apply NOWATA to dirty hands

Why Not Just Use Sanitizer? +
Because sanitizer doesn't actually clean—it just kills some germs on top of the dirt. If your hands have engine grease, trail mud, or sticky mess, sanitizer leaves you with "sterile" grime. Not exactly food-safe or comfortable.

NOWATA goes beyond what sanitizers can do—it physically clumps and lifts away everything that's stuck to your skin, including dirt, oils, sap, and those stubborn virus particles that cling to surfaces.

No harsh alcohols that sting cuts or dry out skin. Just truly clean hands that are ready for your next meal, handshake, or high-five.

Ingredients +

Made with 100% plant-based, biodegradable ingredients. Tough enough for the messiest adventures, gentle enough for sensitive skin and kids.

  • Tapioca Starch: Nature's powerful cleanser that binds and lifts away stubborn dirt without harsh scrubbing
  • Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate: Gentle coconut-derived cleanser that creates rich lather without water
  • Gluconolactone & Calcium Gluconate: pH-balanced skin conditioners that prevent dryness and irritation
  • Ethyl Macadamiate: Natural moisturizer that nourishes skin instead of stripping it

What's NOT in here: No alcohols, parabens, artificial fragrances, sulfates, or harsh chemicals that damage skin or environment.

Very interesting way to clean hands on the go

Very interesting way to clean hands on the go. Great for everyday activities, at the park, in nature, and also on beach outings (remove the sunscreen or sand). It feels like eraser shavings, which is kind of satisfying but it's very messy when you brush it all off, so try to do it outdoors when possible. I tend to use it in the car which creates a lot of mess. I feel very clean after using it so I would recommend it with the expectation of clean hands and messy floors.

Great for outdoor use only

Great for outdoor use, but definitely not for indoors. I took this to a weekend long adult hockey veteran tournament in MN figuring it'd be great being around all that sweatiness lol. While sitting in the stands, without thinking, I used it like I do normal hand sanitizer, rubbing it on my palms and back of hand....big mistake. Do not put on the back of your hands. Took forever to get it off and that's when I remembered all the videos I saw had people only rubbing it on their palms only....makes sense now why that was. The bits made a mess all around the space I was sitting at in the bleachers and that was embarrassing. I will say though the backs my hands felt really soft once I got all the bits off. Lesson learned though. Stick to using outdoor only and only use on palms and between fingers. I'll stick to using this at the beach and outdoor events. I liked the soft lavender scent and I read the lab report so I feel this product does a really good job at giving me peace of mind at having clean hands. This is definitely great for food festivals, theme parks, and anywhere you plan on going between activities and eating frequently. When I'm indoors for an entire outing, I'll stick to hand sanitizer and washing hands in the restrooms.

Amazing customer service and product!

Amazing customer service. I really wanted it for a trip and they went out of their way to communicate and to meet my need. The product is so easy to use. A very smooth feel that leaves you feeling so clean and refreshed. Well worth the peace of mind and no doctor visits or lost vacation time. Thank you, Nowata!

Amazing product!

I used the Nowata soap on a 3-week trip out of the country, and it worked great. It is portable, and I felt really protected from nasty germs the whole time I was away. I keep it in my purse and in my car and use it often. I like the soft, clean feel on my hands after you rub all the dirt off with this product. I highly recommend over any other product on the market.

What a difference!

Hand sanitizer can sting with hand abrasions or cuts and leaves my hands feeling dry. Nowata is different in that my hands feel smooth and not dry.

This product is very different and innovative and

This product is very different and innovative and I am happy to have it. It takes a long time to rub in for an on-the-move 7 year old. It also makes a little bit of a mess as the particles rub off your hand. So depending on where you are it may or may not be the best option. Like, outside with no rush, great option. In the car, on the go, kid wanting a snack, not the best option. The lavender scent is nice and not too strong at all. I suspect we will be using this more often as the weather warms and we are outdoors more.

Great product

We’ve been using it on our trip in Paris, so far in the airports on the way and in the metros it’s been amazing. I love the stuff. It makes your hands feel so soft after using it.

Best purchase ever

I’m such a germaphobe and the thought of noravirus scares me. This has helped tremendously when on the go. My hands feel so soft after and I love how clean they are. No burning sensation like sanitizer and it actually cleans.

Smooth hands

We are so excited to have this product for lunches! My kiddo always washes his hands before he eats (which he hates)~ he’s stoked to be able to use this instead! And he said it left his hands nice and smooth. Photo for proof!

All-in for Nowata! All-in for no spit laden palms.

This is an essential part of my gear. It’s a tiny, portable hero in a bottle. No more Alpaca-licked hands when snacking. And the tiny scrubbie bottle…YES, YES, YES!

Great moisturizing soap

I've never seen anything like this soap before. I love the idea of having a waterless soap. My family enjoys hiking, and sometimes we can’t access a bathroom to wash our hands. This soap will be great for situations like that. After using the soap, my hands feel incredibly soft and moisturized.

The product works almost exactly as promised, but costs too much.

The product works almost exactly as promised. I do use more than a pea sized amount to really get both sides of my hands thoroughly cleaned to where I feel like I don't have to go wash my hands in a sink and feel totally moisturized at the same time. That said my only complaint due to needing to use more than recommended is the price. Its sadly just too high to considering buying more. With the high prices of everything right now, it just wont fit in the budget unless I got a huge discount for future purchases. Thank you

Thank you for the honest feedback - we really appreciate it, and we're so glad the product works for you!

Great news: We now offer a 5 FL OZ size which is considerably cheaper per ounce - much better value if you're using a bit more product per application!

Even better: Since you've already tried NOWATA and like it, our subscription offers 20% off + free shipping. You can pause or cancel anytime - no commitment.

On pricing: You're right that we're not cheap. The honest truth is we're a small startup and don't have the benefit of economies of scale yet. As more people discover NOWATA and we grow, our pricing will certainly come down. We're working toward that!

We'd love another chance to earn your business - the 5oz subscription combo is our best value right now.

Thanks again for trying us and for the thoughtful review!

I love having this in my purse

I love having this in my purse. For instance, I went to the grocery store and they were out of cart wipes. I finished my shopping and went to my car and washed my hands. I felt so much better knowing my hands were free of whatever may have been left on the cart. I’m not a paranoid person but germs and bacteria are real and if I can avoid them I’m going to!
