Invention...innovation...Marishane Ludwick takes the water out of bathing.

In some African community and other temperate regions across the globe bathing can be a bother.This is particular true for folks living in rural areas where there is no electricity which means that hot water can be a luxury.some years ago during winter in a small rural village some where in the heart of Africa,two young boys shivering in the chilling cold wondered why a substitute for water wasn't available one said to the other 'why doesn't somebody invent something that you can just put on your skin and you don't have to bathe with water'Then he thought to himself why cant I do it...so it was that Marishane set out to produce this 'something'.He surfed the web in pursuit of a magic formula,few months later, DryBath was born. DryBath is a clear gel applied to skin that does the work of water and soap.The product differs from regular anti-bacterial hand washes as it has no heavy alcohol smell and creates an odorless, biodegradable cleansing film with moisturizers. Having obtained patent,the product is now manufactured commercially.The invention, which won Marishane the 2011 Global Student Entrepreneur of the Year Award,is used across Africa and beyond.It has been particularly helpful in areas with no regular access to water.
