What is Nilaqua®?

A unique water based range of liquids & foams that allow you wash effectively without additional water or rinsing. Using Towel Off®  Technology, this is an amazing safe way to easily remove dirt, sweat, odours, blood, urine and more. Please note Nilaqua is for external use only.

How do I use Nilaqua®?

The principle of our waterless washing is to use the towel off technology, to clean your self throughly you do get wet but no additional water is required.

Hair – Simply apply the kind and gentle liquid directly to the scalp. Massage into a soapy liquid, this will allow the liquid to combine with the dirt and grease, then to remove this you towel dry thoroughly. Dirt and grease are then transferred to the towel. After this process is complete you can then style as normal.

For thick or long hair we recommend repeating this process generously in sections.

Body: Simply apply the foam directly to the skin, massage to lift sweat, blood, urine and more into the solution, then whilst wet and foamy simply remove with a tissue, dry wipe or towel depending upon body area. Voila soft clean skin. Can also be used with water for heavy soiling.

We average 50ml per root wash & 30ml per body wash. Nilaqua® should not affect dyed hair, please test a strand first.

Can I use a hair dryer?

Only once you have already towel dried the product (which has the dirt and grease in the solution) off of your hair, you can then finish it off by hair drying.

If you use a hair dryer first and do not towel dry your scalp. Then the product has not been removed and will simply dry back onto your scalp. Leaving you with dirty hair.
