Handmade Meeple Soap - Création Athena

The meeple is the little wooden figure made famous by Carcassonne and now found in hundreds of board games. Création Athena, a local artisan from Gatineau, turned it into a handmade soap! Each 120 g meeple is poured and swirled by hand in small batches, with a base of coconut, olive and castor oils enriched with aloe and clay. Like any handmade soap, it keeps its natural glycerin, which helps keep skin soft.

Two recipes are available. The vegan recipe, made with vegetable oils, for the Pink and Yellow meeples. The ancestral recipe, made with lard like the soaps of yesteryear, for the Red, Black, Green, Blue and Purple meeples.

The Meeple handmade soap is for you if you are looking for an original little gift for gamers, if you love supporting local artisans, or if you want to add a playful touch to a Christmas stocking. One meeple in each colour, and everyone in the family gets their own pawn!

The word meeple comes from "my people", an expression born in 2000 during a game night of Carcassonne. It quickly became the symbol of the whole board gaming community.

Every soap is unique. The meeples are poured and swirled by hand, one at a time, so the colour and pattern of your soap may differ from the photo. That is the charm of a handmade product!
