Customer Reviews
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!
Took it on a hike with 3 others and we each used it. The dirt comes right off and the skin is actually left feeling nurtured. Everyone agreed. We will be taking it on all of our outdoor adventures. Thanks!
So, I bought this on a whim, not actually believing it would work. So, when the tube arrived, I went outside to do yard work- pulling weeds, mowing, trenching, gardening, etc. When I was finished 2 hours later, my hands were a mess. Great time to test my new NOWATA. Honestly, I was shocked at how good it works. My hands were cleaner than when I use soap and water. This stuff is a game changer!
Works as described. The container seems to be about half full.
Thanks for the 5-star review! Our tubes are filled by weight to ensure you get the full 2.5 FL OZ - the consistency can sometimes create air space. Appreciate you choosing NOWATA!
I took this on a two week camping/backpacking trip and it was great for actually removing grime when water was scarce. I especially appreciated it's ability to keep my hands clean as a person who prefers contact lenses over glasses.
I would feel better about using this soap if it was certified compostable by a 3rd party. Its important to me to 100% know I'm not putting micro plastics or unsafe chemicals into the environment (natural ingredients and plant-based ingredients don't always mean environmentally safe and "biodegradable" isn't the same as "certified compostable").
I would also like a smaller bottle option for backpacking.
Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for the great review and for taking NOWATA camping!
You're absolutely right about third-party certification - based on your feedback, we're submitting our soap for OECD 301B testing to rigorously validate our biodegradability claims.
Also noted on the smaller bottle option for backpackers!
Thanks for holding us to high environmental standards.
Best,
The NOWATA Team
