Nilaqua Named Best Waterless Product Provider in the Women in Leadership – Top 100 2027

We were absolutely delighted to find out that Nilaqua has been named Best Waterless Product Provider in the Women in Leadership – Top 100 2027.

It’s a fantastic recognition for Nilaqua and the wider team at Waterless Limited, and one that means a great deal to us as a family-run, UK manufacturer that has been developing waterless personal care and hygiene solutions since 2009.

Making personal care possible without using water

At the heart of Nilaqua is a simple idea: getting clean shouldn’t always have to mean getting in the shower or using running water.

There are many reasons why someone may struggle with traditional bathing and washing. Whether it’s because of limited mobility, disability, dementia, aquaphobia, SPD, illness or hospitals stays. Traditional personal care isn’t always straightforward.

That’s where waterless washing can make a real difference.

Nilaqua’s range of no-rinse personal care products has been developed to make cleansing easier, more accessible and less disruptive. From Towel Off Shampoos and body washes to wipes and alcohol-free sanitiser, our products are designed to help people maintain their personal hygiene without the need for a bath or shower.

While the concept may sound simple, the impact can be significant.

For some people, removing the need for running water can make personal care less stressful. For carers, it can make washing easier to manage. In healthcare and care environments, it can provide an additional option when conventional washing isn’t practical.

Recognition for practical innovation

Global Publishing Media described Nilaqua as:

“A UK manufacturer of no-rinse personal care and hygiene products” helping to make “effective cleansing more accessible across healthcare, retail and everyday consumer use”.

They also highlighted our range of Towel Off shampoos and body washes, alongside our alcohol-free sanitising solutions, and recognised the role our products can play when running water is limited or unavailable.

Their description of Nilaqua as a brand combining “practical impact, ethical values and British-made innovation” is particularly meaningful to us.

That’s because we’re proud to manufacture our products here in the UK, rather than simply putting our name on products made elsewhere.

UK made, from our family business

Nilaqua is part of Waterless Limited, a family-run business based in South Wales.

We’ve been creating waterless products for many years, with a focus on finding practical solutions to everyday hygiene challenges. Our products are manufactured in-house in the UK, giving us control over the process and allowing us to continue developing products around the needs of the people who use them

Sustainability is something that runs throughout our wider business too, from our manufacturing processes and renewable energy use to reducing waste and considering the materials and packaging we use.
