Caffeine collides with gaming soap

August 1, 2010--Bellingham, Wash.
Geek soap inventor DigitalSoaps now offers product infused with caffeine.

The company is known for creating game controller soaps celebrating the modern Wii, Xbox and PlayStation systems, alongside retro SEGA and Nintendo systems.

"With a shot of caffeine in their soap, gamers have an even bigger reason to take a shower," said company owner Chrystal Doucette.

Doucette said several of the products are caffeinated, including Xbox controller soaps, NES controller soaps, Mountain Dew-type shampoo and Mountain Dew-type lotion.

Decaf versions are still available for those who prefer their jolts in drink form, and those sensitive to caffeine.

"Caffeine can be absorbed through the skin, so it is not necessary to drink it to feel the effects," Doucette said. "But it doesn't get absorbed in the same amount, so my soap has much more caffeine than a can of soda."
Each bar of soap contains 530 mg of caffeine.

DigitalSoaps was founded in a whim in 2009 by Doucette. Her soap was the first to communicate with subcultures of gamers and geeks. Initial products included cell phones, iPods, and even a 3D chess set.

The first video game-themed soap, a PlayStation 2 replica controller, received so much attention, Doucette decided to start making more video game controller replicas.

Each product is made in her home. Chrystal remains committed to using only high quality, vegan ingredients in her soap.
