A blue soap should ensure more thorough hand washing: Colorsafe is good for that

A liquid soap that turns your hands blue: Colorsafe should ensure that every stain is caught when washing your hands. Of the star took a closer look at the DHDL product.
Thorough hand washing has become all the more important since the corona pandemic at the latest. At best, every stain should be soaped and washed off thoroughly. But with conventional (liquid) soap this is not that easy, as it is usually transparent and you often have a lot of foam on your hands, but you cannot see whether every area has been hit. So that this really happens, founder Katrin Klein developed the blue soap that she will present this Monday evening at “Die Höhle der Löwen”. Of the star tested the product in advance.
Colorsafe at DHDL: The information
The vegan and ph-neutral tested one Natural soap from Colorsafe should playfully recommend hand hygiene to children – but adults should also be able to benefit from it. The blue soap is applied to dry hands and turns them blue. This makes it immediately clear which parts of the hand still need to be soaped. Founder Katrin Klein explains further: “The second highlight: The soap sticks well to the hands, so that you are also forced to wash it off thoroughly again.” The product owes its color to the plant-based ingredients from the gardenia and thistle blossom, and the natural soap is not tested on animals and is made in Germany. With her product, the Cologne-based company wants to convince investors of the Vox show “Die Höhle der Löwen” and get them on board for their company.
The first impression
Of the star has viewed the product in advance. It is noticeable: the soap comes in standard plastic packaging and at first glance does not seem to be sustainable. After all, you have to buy a new dispenser when the soap runs out. In addition, there is the price of a little over 13 euros, which is already higher than conventional liquid. But the blue soap from Colorsafe should also have some advantages and contribute to hygiene – and a higher price would certainly be justified for this. Provided that the product is really good for something. The packaging is definitely attractive at first glance and the soap feels good on the hand: it doesn’t smear, smells good and the color naturally catches the eye without looking unpleasant.
The handling
I tested the soap in the “Clever Kids Soap” version for children with my four-year-old son, who was enthusiastic about the idea at first and immediately wanted to lather his hands. Very euphoric, he put a few pumps of the blue soap in his hands and started. And he actually soaped intuitively until every little spot was really colored blue. The soap is stronger than conventional liquid soap and the color is bright.
The blue color of Colorsafe is easy to see on the hands.

Of course, I also had to take part directly and show that I can do it just as well. Very cute: There was a little book with a story in which a family is doing an experiment and blindfolded to lather their hands without gaps. It turned out that many still have some catching up to do. You can try it out yourself at home.
Small disadvantage of the soap: When the hands were lathered wildly, something went wrong and the sleeves of my son’s cream-colored sweater were suddenly bluish. A little water and rubbing wasn’t enough, it took a little attention to remove the stains. His hands were sparkling clean for that.
The bottom line
The basic idea of Colorsafe is great: Children enjoy lathering with it, the consistency is pleasant, adults too are automatically more concerned with the subject of hand washing, and it is easy to wash off. It also smells very pleasant. However, you have to be very careful not to get the soap on your clothes, as it is not that easy to wash them out. In addition, it is a shortcoming these days that the packaging is still made of plastic and cannot be refilled. In addition, there is the comparatively high price. But who knows, maybe the founder, together with a lion or a lioness, will be able to work on these areas and make the blue soap even better. Then it is certainly an asset to the bathroom – especially for the little ones.
Katrin Klein wants 100,000 euros and is offering ten percent of her company shares in return. Whether the 50-year-old will score points with her idea in “Die Höhle der Löwen” and strike a DHDL deal will be revealed on Vox this evening from 8:15 pm.
