Thorough hand washing has become all the more important since the corona pandemic at the latest. At best, each stain should be soaped and washed thoroughly. But with conventional (liquid) soap it's not that easy, since it's mostly transparent and you often have a lot of foam on your hands, but you can't see whether every area has been caught. So that this really happens, founder Katrin Klein has developed the blue soap, which she will present this Monday evening at "Die Höhle der Löwen". The star tested the product in advance.

Colorsafe at DHDL: The info
The vegan and pH-neutral tested natural soap from Colorsafe is intended to playfully encourage children to practice hand hygiene - 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 up. Founder Katrin Klein explains further: "The second highlight: the soap sticks well to your hands, so that you are forced to wash them off thoroughly again." The product owes its color to the herbal ingredients from gardenia and thistle blossoms, and the natural soap is not tested on animals and is made in Germany. With her product, the Cologne native wants to convince the investors on the Vox show "Die Höhle der Löwen" and get her on board for her company.
The first impression
The star has previewed the product. It is striking: the soap comes in a standard plastic packaging and at first glance does not seem to be very sustainable. After all, you have to buy a new dispenser when the soap is empty. In addition, there is the price of just over 13 euros, which is already higher than for commercially available liquid. But the blue soap from Colorsafe is also supposed to have some advantages and contribute to hygiene - and a higher price would certainly be justified for that. Provided that the product is really good. The packaging is definitely attractive at first glance and the soap feels good on the hand: it doesn't smear, it smells nice and the color is of course eye-catching without looking awkward.
Handling
I tested the "Clever Kids Soap" children's version of the soap with my four-year-old son, who was very 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 got started. And in fact he intuitively soaped it until every little spot turned blue. The soap is thicker than traditional liquid soap and the color is bright.
Of course I had to take part and show that I can do it just as well. Very cute: there was a small booklet with a story in which a family is doing an experiment and is supposed to soap their hands completely with blindfolds. It turned out that many still have some catching up to do. You can try it yourself at home.
Small disadvantage of the soap: When lathering my hands wildly, something went wrong and the sleeves of my son's cream-colored sweater suddenly turned blue. A little water and rubbing wasn't enough either, it took a little care before the stains were removed again. His hands were sparkling clean.
The conclusion
The basic idea of Colorsafe is great: children enjoy soaping up with it, the consistency is pleasant, adults also automatically concern themselves more with washing their hands again, 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 nowadays 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 enrichment in the bathroom - especially for the little ones.
Katrin Klein wants 100,000 euros and offers ten percent of her company shares for it. Whether the 50-year-old will score points with her idea in "The Lion's Den" and get a DHDL deal will be shown on Vox tonight from 8:15 p.m.
