To get 10% of the world's population to skip a bath every week, even if they don't use DryBath!

DryBath™ is the world\'s first germicidal Bath-substituting™ skin lotion/gel. It is a proprietary blend of a biocide, bioflavonoids and moisturisers. It is easy to use and needs minimal water for use. Just apply DryBath™ to your skin and you’re done! You no longer need a bath! It moisturises the skin, kills germs, and leaves the user smelling fresh. DryBath™ was made to save the lives of the over 2 million destitute people who suffer and often die from easily treatable diseases like trachoma, diarrhoea, etc. DryBath™ provides its customers with an alternative.

DryBath™ has a retail value proposition of “Cleanliness & Convenience”. Young people and professionals expressed that they would use it because of the convenience it offers, and the fact that unnecessary daily bathing has been proven to be bad for a person’s skin.

DryBath™ is an innovation, because it tackles the hygiene & water consumption problems in a manner that has never been used before. It provides a waterless hygiene solution to the poor. It provides a bathing-alternative to more affluent households, and saves a global average of 120 litres of water every time they decide to use DryBath™ to skip a bath. It provides corporate clients like airlines (long distance flights), mining companies, and hotel groups with a hygiene solution that they can provide to their clients & employees cheaply and conveniently.
BATHING WITHOUT SOAP AND WATER? With inspiration from a friend too lazy to take a shower and a few months of research on the Internet, South African university student Ludwick Marishane has won global recognition for an invention that takes the water out of bathing. Marishane, a 22-year-old student at the University of Cape Town student invented a product called DryBath, a clear gel applied to skin that does the work of water and soap.

The invention, which won Marishane the 2011 Global Student Entrepreneur of the Year Award, has wide applications in Africa and other parts of the developing world where basic hygiene is lacking and hundreds of millions of people do not have regular access to water.

The product differs from the anti-bacterial hand washes by eliminating the heavy alcohol smell. It creates an odourless, biodegradable cleansing film with moisturisers. He came up with the idea as a teenager in his poor rural home in the winter when a friend of his said bathing was too much of a bother, made all the worse by a lack of hot water. "He was lazy and he happened to say, 'why doesn't somebody invent something that you can just put on your skin and you don't have to bathe'," said Marishane. It was his "eureka" moment. He then used his web-enabled mobile phone to search through Google and Wikipedia in pursuit of a formula. Six months later, he came up with DryBath and a obtained a patent. The product is now manufactured commercially with clients including major global airlines for use on long-haul flights and governments for its soldiers in the field. Marishane also sees it helping conserve water in the poorest parts of the world. "DryBath will go a long way in helping communities". NICE ONE, ESPECIALLY COMING FROM AFRICA

The EasySnap™ sachets we use to package the product are a patented South African innovation.
