Touching lives

Trekking in the great Himalayas is one heck of an adventure, but it comes with its challenges⁠—for example, bathing. The ordeal might just be a matter of a few days but staying hygienic and fresh in extreme conditions can make the difference of the world while you’re out exploring and enjoying the icy peaks of India. To bring this traveller dream into life, Organic Rubs introduces an exceptionally unique waterless bathing gel series named DryBath. Now, you too can get these waterless toiletries, and use them on your next trek!

DryBath products remove the very mechanism of ‘rinsing’ and using ‘water’ in the first place! You will, of course, still need access to an enclosed, private space. You can spray it on your palms and massage your skin gently, and then wipe it off with a clean towel, or a tissue.⁠ You can also alternatively spray it directly on your body, and then wipe it off. Extremely easy and handy to use, DryBath exceeds the expectations of every passionate traveller who dreams of stable and basic convenience along her marvellous expeditions.

Reaching out to poor

Worldwide, nearly 2.3 billion people lack access to basic sanitation and water services. For those of us who take for granted the luxury of indoor plumbing, this might sound like a great camping aid or festival gimmick, but the 2.3 billion people for whom regular access to clean water is simply not a reality, DryBath has the potential to be a life-saver rather than a tool of convenience. 

Inadequate access to clean water leads to devastating disease outbreaks like trachoma, which can lead to permanent blindness. Organic Rub’s DryBath is a waterless alternative to bathing that comes in the form of a gel and could help eliminate the threat of these water-borne diseases. By gaining the ability to bathe, people in poverty-stricken areas can drastically decrease the number of trachoma cases, which currently blind about 1.8 million people globally.

In poor communities the gel could protect people who often die from easily treatable diseases caused by bacteria that thrive in stagnant water. This water is transferred onto the skin and get into either the gut (causing diarrhoea for example), or into an orifice like the eye (causing trachoma, an eye infection that can cause blindness).

Over 30% of the people in the world have to choose between using their water to drink & cook, instead of bathing their bodies & cleaning up. You can donate DryBath Gel to aid agencies and really help those in the most need. 

The effects of eliminating the need for bathing water has a wide array of positive results. Research says that in developing areas we could save 80 million litres of water on average each time we skipped a bath, and also we would save two hours a day for kids who are in rural areas, two hours more for school, two hours more for homework, two hours more to just be a kid. Not only does it decrease the risk of disease, but by removing the long walk for water that many children must embark on each day, DryBath allows children to spend more time on their education.

The average shower (without the water-saving device) uses 18 litres of water per minute, and if people are going for fancy, the average bath uses 144 litres to fill a tub, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

In more affluent areas, the gel can be applied in a pinch when someone doesn't have time to rinse. The cleansing gel conserves water in both scenarios.

Our product offers a cheap and innovative solution to the problems of the rich and the poor alike. Together we can take a step ahead to create sustainable living a reality.
