Gloss Find: Geeky Soap by Two Eggplants Company

Posted on June 30, 2010 by Jennifer Latkiewicz

Addicted to your smartphone? Can’t live without your iPod? Indulge your geeky obsessions with these quirky and fun soaps from Two Eggplants Company that lets iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, Droid and even Palm Pre users lather up with their favorite technological ‘appendage’.

No detail goes overlooked – each soapy creation is meticulously crafted by hand to include every button, icon and design feature seen on the real thing. Made from all-natural ingredients, the vegetable-based glycerin soaps are infused with moisturizing shea butter and come in a huge variety of fragrances including Bellini, Mojito, Nutella, Bacon and of course, Blackberry and Macintosh Apple.

When she wasn’t working in academic research to study the use of high tech gadgets in the classrooms at MIT, MeiLin Chan was concocting sudsy creations in her kitchen, after a soap-making class spurred a full-blown glycerin addiction. Having an “insatiable appetite” for new ideas, MeiLi founded Two Eggplants Company, where she continues creating and experimenting with different methods, designs and materials.

My favorite is the collection of video game-themed soaps, especially the dulce de leche-scented old-school Gameboy with its famously gray exterior and nostalgic red A/B buttons. But you don’t have to be a geek to dig Two Eggplants soaps – they also have super cute designs inspired by foods, animals and fashion.

Each bar comes packaged in a clear box with ribbon for easy gift-giving and if you don’t see a design available in the fragrance you like, just email and they’ll create one custom for you. Just like any other gadget, Two Eggplants knows that geeks like theirs custom-fit to them!

Two Eggplants Company Smartphone and iPod Soap is $6.50-$9.99 on twoeggplants.com
