Sydney Sweeney is appealing to her more rabid fan base with the release of a new soap product containing her actual bathwater.
The Euphoria actor is one of the most sexualised stars in Hollywood and often faces unsolicited comments from fans — some of whom have even expressed their desire to consume her bathwater.
“When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it, or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap,” Sweeney said in a press release announcing her new “Bathwater Bliss” soap.
The Anyone but You star first partnered with the men’s personal care company last year in a viral ad that featured her in a bathtub.
Her new soap is made with exfoliating sand and pine bark extract in addition to some of Sweeney’s real bathwater.
“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,” she added. “Hopefully, this helps guys wake up to the realities of conventional personal care products and pushes them towards natural.”
Only 5,000 bars of the actor’s soap will be made.
The soap will officially be available for purchase starting June 6.
In an interview with GQ, Sweeney further explained the process of making the soap. “When we were at the [Dr. Squatch] shoot, they had a tub for me. And I actually got in there and I took some soap, and we had a nice little bath and they took the water. So it’s my real bathwater,” she confirmed.
“I wanted to have it lean towards my home roots, so there’s this really outdoorsy scent of, like, pine and earthy moss and fir. So it smells super manly. But then there’s some city bath water mixed in.”
“People feel connected and free to be able to speak about me in whatever way they want, because they believe that I’ve signed my life away. That I’m not on a human level anymore, because I’m an actor. “It’s this weird relationship that people have with me that I have no control or say over.”
