Waterless Shower

[I apologize for not updating very frequently lately. I've been taking a very challenging course on the "Foundations of American Constitutionalism." That has taken all my brain and time. :) Weekly postings will resume in August.]

There are many reasons people do not bike/run/walk to work. One of the most frequently cited reasons is the lack of showers at the workplace.

10nine8 has devised a solution for just such a situation. "Rocket Shower" lets you clean up in a bathroom stall (or anywhere else with privacy) without needing any additional supplies/water. Their products come in 2, 4, and 8.5 ounce bottles, easy to carry with you or leave at the office.

What's in it and how does it work? Here's some information from the "Rocket Shower" website:

1. Witch hazel...used as an astringent and skin cleaner...It's a strong and effective body cleaner...
2. SD Alcohol 40. Helps evaporate the sweat quickly, kills bacteria that can lead to body odor, and has a slight cooling effect.
3. Water
4. Grapefruit peel oil. Citrus helps clean the skin, and contributes a clean scent...Rocket Shower's scent completely evaporates soon after application.
5. Peppermint oil...helps cool you while you clean up.
6. Vitamin E...to ensure the alcohol and witch hazel don't dry out the skin.
