Ludwik Marishana grew up in Limpopu, a district in north South Africa. Overcoming sub-standard conditions, he has managed to create a genius formula for a material that allows one to get cleaned without needing to shower and eliminating bad odors. In doing so, he created something much more important than just a solution for lazy people. Ludwik's material is being considered for use in areas who have a severe shortage of water, where a shower is a luxury one cannot afford. It can be used by soliders, travelers, or explorers.
Watch this video of Ludwik explaining about his invention.
