Here's one product from Neutrogena. Here's another from Oil of Olay. There are generic ones at my local Safeway and Clearasil used to make a product that was the best...cut through road grim like a dream. All of these can be used in cold or hot water.

Part of the reason I carry these is to not carry the water of a wet wipe. Considering that my mode of travel already has a smaller foot print than an RVs, I figure a 1g piece of polyester in the solid waste stream isn't going to that bad. Of course, you should dispose of the used cloth in the proper manner.
