Is the Nilaqua Waterless Bathing Range as good as a Shower?

Nilaqua has revolutionised the healthcare sector with their range of waterless bathing products which include shampoo, body wash, cleansing wipes and more without the use of water or rinsing.
 

So, is it as good as a shower? Well, we think so but we’ll leave you to decide for yourself! The specially formulated ‘Towel Off’ technology means all that is needed is to simply pour the liquid on, massage in and ‘towel off’ leaving you with soft clean skin/hair. As Nilaqua is water based, it easily removes dirt, sweat, odours, urine and more. This is lifted into the solution and removed with the towel.
 

The formulation does NOT include any gels, parabens, sulphates or ethanol and is over 95% natural. Although it doesn’t require additional water or rinsing, it is water based which means you aren’t left with any sticky residue. For the eco conscience the Nilaqua packaging is made from plastic that is at least 30% recycled and can be further recycled. All labels and products are made using 100% renewable energy, in the UK.
 

As the ingredients are so kind and gentle to the skin and hair, it is designed for long term use without any adverse effects. Better yet, the shampoo smells of Apples and the Body Foam smells of Clean Soap. We feel it is really important to the user that they smell lovely like they really have had a shower!

Not only can you be eco-friendly but also save money with your personal care by using Nilaqua.

With the current climate, we are all doing our bit to become more eco-friendly. Changes include; using more sustainable products, using recycled materials and reducing our carbon footprint. Most recently we have seen a need to conserve our water resources after seeing the driest summer in over 100 years, and many counties announcing hosepipe bans; advising people to only shower for a maximum of 4 minutes.

The average shower uses 9 litres of water every minute, meaning just one 10 minute shower could use a minimum of 90 litres, an older style shower uses even more!

With the increase in population and use of household water for gardens, swimming pools, etc we have seen the water usage double since the 1960s.

A small bottle of Nilaqua shampoo/body wash saves the equivalent of 6 showers, or 540 litres of water.

Here’s some testimonials from those already using Nilaqua:
 

Caroline Vergo

Head of Infection Control

“The waterless shampoo is being used for those patients who cannot take a bath or shower or would find it too distressing to do so. The feedback from the areas that use it is really positive. The staff love using it and the patients appreciate it. All in all it improves the patient experience which was the major driving force in introducing it’s use. I would certainly recommend it.”

 

Denise Bar

Palliative Team Leader, Gloucestershire Hospitals

“We thought the shampoo was really useful! I would like some more for our community team now.

 

Tina

Royal Shrewsbury, Orthopaedics

“I find Nilaqua Shampoo really easy to use and effective. I washed a patient this morning and they commented that they felt better for it. We really like the smell and it saves so much time. Especially with patients who are less mobile and cannot bend their necks.”
