Nurture Rinse Free Body Wash & Shampoo w/Aloe | Hospital Grade Hair & Body Waterless Cleansing Foam | Women, Camping, Elderly & Hospital Patients | Shower Bath & Hand Soap for Sensitive Skin

I use this for a bed ridden person and it works great, but I do find that you need to rinse. Don't need to use a lot so it lasts. Smells good and is very foamy. Soft on skin.

This rinse-free body wash is a great product that I buy on repeat. It’s perfect for bed baths or for anyone who has limited access to a shower. It cleans the skin thoroughly without leaving any sticky residue. The bonus feature is that it can also be used to wash hair, making it a convenient, all-in-one solution. It’s gentle on the skin, non-irritating, and doesn’t dry out or leave behind any harsh chemicals. I highly recommend it for caregivers, travelers, or anyone needing a quick and effective cleansing option.

I live on the road most of the time and am very conscious of my water usage. Taking low-water showers enables me to go a month without refilling my 35 gallon water tank, and that's the way I like it! So I use low-water or no-water bathing products on a full-time basis. To date, I have tried four different products. This one, Nurture no-rinse body wash and shampoo, is my clear favorite, and I highly recommend it. Of the other three products, two were wet-wipes. These don't work for washing your hair, so I don't consider those to be practical for long-term bathing use. The 3rd was a dry-wipe that you put water on...meh. I reviewed that product to discuss advantages and disadvantages so I won't go into it here. The Nurture shampoo/body wash works very well for me. Here's how I use it: 1) I heat about 2 or 3 cups of water on my stove (yes, I am also too cheap to use my water heater...it chews through the propane!). 2) I put the hot water in a dishpan and add cold to make about 2 or 3 quarts of water (I'm guessing. I just make the water the temp I want). 3) I use a cup to pour water through my hair to dampen it. This seems to help the distribution of the product through my hair and enables me to use less product than if I apply it to dry hair. The rinse water goes back in the dishpan...this is no-rinse soap, so I don't worry about 'rinsing' with soapy water. 4) I apply 15-20 'squirts' of Nurture to my hair (it comes out of the bottle as foam), applying five squirts at a time to various sections of my hair and scrubbing my hair as I would with regular shampoo. 5) I use the cup to rinse the soap out of my hair and capture the rinse water in the dishpan. 6) I use a washrag and the soapy water to wash 'non-stinky bits' and dry with a bath towel. For stinky bits, I moisten with the soapy water, apply additional Nurture, wash/rinse with soapy water, and then dry. This does not get my hair as clean as regular shampoo, but my hair is relatively dry and only needs to be washed a couple of times a week anyway. The whole process uses a minimal quantity of water -- less than one gallon per shower. My skin is quite sensitive to soap, so I don't like using the product without any water at all; instead, I use it as a 'minimal-rinse' soap. The format of the product (just a plain old bottle of liquid soap) allows you to use more product where and when you need it and less product when and where you don't, unlike a wipe with a pre-determined quantity of soap. The foaming dispenser reduces product waste as the foam doesn't spill or run, and it seems to make the product go further than a liquid. I keep trying to count the number of showers I can get out of a bottle of Nurture and I keep losing track, so I can't say for sure. I believe it is somewhere between five and eight showers. If you don't need to ration your water usage, I would not go to the expense of buying no-rinse products like this one, as standard full-rinse products are more cost-effective. For nomadic life and car-camping, though, where you have to haul every drop of water you use, this is a great product. I would prefer a re-fillable dispenser option if I could get one to reduce garbage volume. Nurture? How about it?

Good product, very useful, cleanse well.

Works really well, so no residue build up.

Wonderful product.

**Update - Customer service is very good, thank you!** Not good for hair! This product tends to become sticky and slimy when applied to hair. If you're unable to wash your hair for some time, this product won't help you feel clean. It does make your hair smell better, but it took two whole days for my hair to get back to normal after using it. I started with a small amount and added more gradually, but the slimy texture only got worse. I initially thought that using more product would help my hair feel cleaner, but that was not the case. I also tried using it on my arms as a body wash, but I'm not sure if it actually cleaned anything. However, it did leave a nice fresh scent.

If you, or someone you know requires a no-rinse body wash, this one is just about perfect. The person I bought it for loves the fresh scent, the ease of use, and the value for the money. It leaves skin feeling soft and smooth and very clean. It's quite easy to use and not sticky at all. She tells me that after using it, she felt clean and felt as though she had rinsed, even though she was able to skip that step, and since she's been bed- or chair-bound for a while now, not rinsing was very important to her. This can also be used as a shampoo as well, and since I shampooed her hair for her, I can tell you that it's far less messy than those horrid shampoo caps she was using. If you, or someone you love, needs a no-rinse body wash, give this a try. It might become your go-to no-rinse wash!

Bought to replace product no longer available. I use it to clean skin that is fragile and the nurses love it. Lightly smells refreshing. No rinse needed. Works well for me.

This is the first time I've ever tried a rinse free body wash. I tried a test patch on my arm to check for any reaction to it because I have very sensitive skin. The foam made it easy to "wash" my arm and it left my arm feeling so soft. I'm impressed with this product. I purchased it to use on my bed bound 92 yo Aunt to as a way to make her feel clean and comfortable. I would recommend this product for when you don't have access to water for bathing.

It doesn't work well as a rinse-free shampoo because it leaves a residue that feels gross. My very short hair (crew cut) was still greasy. For my skin, I did appreciate said residue because it felt moisturizing. For hair, I prefer a common brand of rinse-free bath sponges because it feels light and clean afterwards. However, this is better than nothing! I suppose those with dry hair might get a better outcome. Will not purchase again, back to the sponges! Pros: scent-free, moisturizing. Cons: leaves a noticeable residue when used as shampoo.

Product is very convenient to use and has very little smell.

This caused a breakout rash on me after use. I threw it out after that
