Sense 3 for the noun on this page refers to the NASA spacecraft, but I would have thought this was only found capitalised as Aqua or AQUA. Caladon 09:24, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yes. Nor is it a common noun. Should be deleted. Equinox ◑ 10:59, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Cosmetics ingredient lists edit
Like parfum for fragrance, I seem to remember seeing aqua used as a fancy euphemism for water in the ingredient lists of cosmetic products. Our "inorganic compound" gloss doesn't suggest such usage outside of chemistry. Equinox ◑ 21:03, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
- Just saw it again as the first ingredient (by volume) in hand sanitizer. Equinox ◑ 00:19, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
