Sydney Sweeney Faces Backlash for Selling Soap Made from Her Bathwater

Sydney Sweeney, the popular actress known for her roles in hit TV shows and movies, has found herself in the middle of a controversy after launching a unique soap product. The soap, called Bathwater Bliss, is a limited-edition bar made in collaboration with the brand Dr. Squatch. What makes this soap different is that it contains actual suds from the bathwater used in her recent viral advertisement. While some fans find the idea funny and creative, others have criticized it, calling it strange and even comparing it to something you might see on platforms like OnlyFans.

The idea came after Sydney’s steamy bath ad for Dr. Squatch became a huge talking point online. Fans were so fascinated by the commercial that some jokingly asked for her bathwater. Instead of ignoring the requests, Sydney and the brand decided to turn it into a real product. The soap is made with natural ingredients like sand and pine bark, mixed with a small amount of the suds from her actual bath scene. The brand described it as a blend of “the great outdoors and Sydney Sweeney’s bathtub,” making it a one-of-a-kind grooming product.

In the official announcement, Sydney joked about the unusual concept, saying, “When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap.” She added, “It’s weird in the best way, and I love that we created something that’s not just unforgettable, it actually smells incredible and delivers like every other Dr. Squatch product I love.” While the idea is meant to be fun, Sydney also hopes it will encourage people to switch to natural grooming products. She mentioned, “Hopefully, this helps guys wake up to the realities of conventional personal care products and pushes them towards natural.”

However, not everyone is impressed. Some social media users have called the product “down bad,” suggesting it’s a strange and unnecessary gimmick. Others have compared it to content typically seen on adult subscription sites, saying it feels like a cheap way to make money off fans. Despite the mixed reactions, the soap has definitely gotten people talking, and many are curious to see if it will sell out quickly.

Aside from her unusual business venture, Sydney has also been making headlines for her personal life. Recently, she was spotted getting cozy with rapper Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) in Las Vegas. The two were seen laughing and spending time together, sparking rumors of a possible romance. Not long after, she was also photographed with actor Brandon Sklenar at the Stagecoach music festival, where they appeared very close. These sightings have led to speculation about her dating life, especially since she is now reportedly single.

Sydney Sweeney is no stranger to attention, whether it’s for her acting projects, bold fashion choices, or now, her unconventional soap collaboration. While some people may find the bathwater soap idea odd, others see it as a clever and humorous way to engage with fans. Whether it’s a marketing success or just a weird moment in celebrity culture, one thing is certain—Sydney knows how to stay in the spotlight.

As the debate continues online, it remains to be seen how well the soap will sell and whether this will become a trend among other celebrities. For now, Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss has certainly made an impression, proving once again that she isn’t afraid to take risks, no matter how unusual they may seem.
