Shower Shock
Shower Shock is a bar of soap that has been impregnated with caffeine. The manufacturer ThinkGeek claims that when the soap is used, caffeine is exuded in the lather, to be absorbed through the user's skin.〔Steven Morris (Wake up, smell the coffee - or is it the soap? ) ''The Guardian'', Friday April 20, 2007, Accessed 15 July 2008〕 However, the idea that caffeine passes rapidly through the skin is unproven,〔Zach Benson (The best part of waking up ) ''The Auburn Plainsman'', Accessed 15 July 2008〕 and it has been suggested that the amount absorbed is not significant compared to a cup of coffee.〔David Adam (Can showering with caffeinated soap perk you up? ) ''The Guardian'', Thursday November 27, 2003. Accessed 15 July 2008〕 Anecdotal accounts of using this soap also suggest that it is not effective as a delivery method for caffeine.〔Anna Jane Grossman (Ahh, Minty Clean, but Lacking a Jolt ) ''New York Times'' July 12, 2007, Accessed 15 July 2008〕
Showershock is peppermint scented glycerine soap that comes in a "normal" size, weighing 4 ounces (113 grams), estimated to provide 12 washes with 200 milligrams of caffeine per wash.〔(ThinkGeek :: Shower Shock Caffeinated Soap )〕 The soap is also sold in a "Travel" size, estimated to provide 4.5 showers and 200 milligrams of caffeine per wash, weighing 1.5 ounces.〔(ThinkGeek :: Shower Shock Caffeine Soap Travel )〕 In addition to the soap bars, there is also a Showershock Caffeinated showergel, with the same amount of caffeine per wash (if someone uses the "normal" amount of gel) with each bottle weighing 6.76 ounces.〔(ThinkGeek :: Shower Shock Caffeinated Body Wash )〕
The addition of peppermint oil to the body soap is widely considered to help to stimulate the user's senses to effect an alert state in the user, as caffeine's ability to meaningfully diffuse through human skin is extremely limited and, as a result, users will generally not receive a meaningful dose of the drug through the soap itself.〔(Wise Geek: Does caffeinated soap really work? )〕
