Feedback From Our Survey:

"I am a mother of one and I just want you to know what a wonderful product the color changing soap is. My daughter loves it and it teaches her good hygiene."

“The soap was a HUGE hit! The kids had a blast and spent a long time washing their hands. Thanks again!”

“Our six year old loves the soap and now washes her hands by herself on a regular basis. She loves the pink soap as well as the fragrance. I am surprised to find myself using the soap as well, leaves my hands feeling soft and I too love the fragrance.”

“The container is very attractive and kid friendly; with the wide base and oversized pump head makes it very stable on the sink top for little hands.”

“Our son loved the product so much that he was inviting the neighborhood kids into our house to wash their hands! After the one boy left my son came to me and said that his friend was not interested in washing his hands until he saw the soap change colors. Talk about peer pressure.”

“My son loved the soap so much he wanted to go take a bath with it. By the 4th day he had gone thru the entire bottle- how soon will it be ready? Please Hurry! Great product.”

“The price of  $4.49 at first seemed a little high to me, but when I saw the improvements in hand washing with our two grandchildren I was immediately sold no matter what the cost. Can we get a discount by buying by the case?  What about a refill size?”

“Our three year old daughter loves the soap – calls it “painting her hands”, even with her tiny hands she still achieves color change with all the colors. We noticed that she spends more time scrubbing her hands than she does when she was using regular liquid soap.”

“I personally tried the soap before allowing my daughter to try it and was extremely pleased with the way the soap left my hands feeling moisturized and soft – not sticky or dry! Also appreciated the fragrance, as when I went to eat I did not smell like a toilet mint! Was shocked that I liked the Kid’s fragrance.”

“Too bad they did not have this soap available when I was growing up – I like it a lot and I am a 27 year old (teacher).”

“We have tried the children’s foaming products and have found that our children use quite a bit more than necessary and tend to waste more than they actually use. We left the partial bottle of foaming soap on the sink and they continually choose to use the color changing soap – great job!”

“I love the fact that the fragrance is not overwhelming as so many other soaps are – it smells great while washing and then has a faint lingering smell for just a short period of time. This is a very positive attribute in my opinion. Don’t change anything.”

“We have tried a lot of kids hand soap products and think they all have a gimmick, mostly packaging, while your soap has the color change gimmick – at least you are getting your money’s worth out of the soap and not paying for over packaging. The value is what’s inside the bottle, not the bottle we like that.”

FAQ
Color Changing Hand Soap

Why is Itzazu® color changing soap better than the competition?
Itzazu® color changing hand soaps teach the child proper hand wash techniques at a young age. It is an interactive system that makes it fun for the child, as they have to chase down and pop the beads resulting in a “paint the hands” type of game. The beads are specially formulated to take 15-20 seconds to break when properly chased and popped.

Why the different colors of soaps?
Itzazu® provides a color choice / variation for your child. Let your child pick his or her favorite – the idea is to make hand-washing fun. So if they like the pink to purple, or yellow to green or clear to blue let them pick the one they like – also alternate colors for more variety to keep them interested.

Why this bottle and pump?
Itzazu® selected the short round bottle to be more stable for young children, we also have specially engineered the pump to be water tight (if knocked into the sink with water will not contaminate) as well as the pump is over 25% easier for small children to dispense the soap = less down pressure for them.

Does Itzazu® come in a refill size?
While Itzazu® soaps will not grow bacteria in the bottle, we do not feel that a person should refill the bottle due to possible cross contamination during the transfer as well as the potential ongoing contamination of the pump.

Does Itzazu® contain animal by-products?
Itzazu® is proud to stand by our parent companies policy of no animal testing, no animal by-products in any of our products.

Does Itzazu® contain Triclosan?
At this time our research has shown that anti-bacterial hand soaps do not offer any added benefits when compared to following proper hand wash techniques. This has also been confirmed in numerous other tests by other labs as well as documented that the levels of triclosan (a mild antibiotic) maybe creating mutant strains of bacteria that eventually become resistant to antibiotics.

Does Itzazu® Color Changing Hand Soap stain?Itzazu® color changing beads contain water soluble pigment and should not stain any typical sink or counter top, however it is recommended that any residual leftover beads be rinsed from counter top, sink, faucet or clothing immediately after washing to ensure that there is no staining.

How much soap should be used?
Itzazu® color changing hand soap amount will vary by the size of the child’s hands as well as waste factor (technique of child) we recommend 3-5 ml to start and increase as needed. You want the amount to be enough to yield good color change and take 15-20 seconds to chase and pop all beads. This should be 1-1 ½ down stokes of the pump for the child.

FAQ
Hand Sanitizer

Why is Itzazu® hand sanitizer better than the competitor’s brands?
Itzazu® hand sanitizers are made from grain or synthetic alcohol never petroleum derived (renewable resources). We also add natural skin soothers and moisturizers to leave hands smooth & soft. In addition we have added kidz appeal with the sparkle color (does not show up on hands).

Why this bottle & pump?
Itzazu® selected this short round bottle to be more stable for young children; we also have specially engineered the pump to be 25% easier for children to press down versus other brands.

Does Itzazu® use animal by-products?
Itzazu® is proud to stand by our parent companies policy of No animal by-products and NO animal testing.

Does Itzazu® Hand Sanitizer contain Triclosan?
No we elected the natural course of using pure grain alcohol rather than triclosan, which is a mild antibiotic. Alcohol has been proven to be an effective germ killer when used at 63% or more in the formula.

Does the Hand Sanitizer sparkle remain on the hands?
No we use only a small amount to attract the child’s attention, makes it more fun to use so they sanitize more often.

Does the alcohol in the Hand Sanitizer dry out your hands?
No we added natural skin soothers and softeners to help offset the drying effects of the alcohol.

Is the product sticky like other hand sanitizers?
No – we use a state of the art thickener that does not dry down sticky or tacky. When first applied as rubbing in feels very light and smooth, upon dry down is smooth and not sticky.

How much Hand Sanitizer should be used per application?
Depends upon the size of hands – recommend about the size of a dime for small children – larger hands a little more. Remember the objective is to massage the sanitizer into the skin spreading evenly – to much product will take too long to dry down and end up being tacky.

How often can we use Itzazu® hand sanitizer?Itzazu® hand sanitizer may be used as often as necessary but is not to be a replacement for proper hand washing – use only as a temporary measure when water is not available.
