Sydney Sweeney Bathwater
In a move that’s raising eyebrows, headlines, and possibly soap sales, actress Sydney Sweeney has partnered with men’s grooming brand Dr. Squatch to release a limited-edition soap bar made with her actual bathwater. Yes, you read that right—her actual bathwater.
But before we dive into the sudsy details, let’s rewind.
Who Is Sydney Sweeney?
Sydney Sweeney is one of Hollywood’s most in-demand young stars. Best known for her role as the emotionally fragile Cassie Howard in HBO’s hit series Euphoria, Sweeney has also starred in The White Lotus, Anyone But You, and the Marvel film Madame Web. Her on-screen intensity, paired with a glamorous yet relatable off-screen persona, has earned her a massive social media following and fashion industry attention.
Born in Spokane, Washington, and raised in a tight-knit family, Sweeney is known for balancing her rising fame with a grounded lifestyle and business savvy. She even launched her own production company, Fifty-Fifty Films.
But her latest business move? It’s… something different.
Yes, She’s Really Selling Her Bathwater (Sort Of)
In June 2025, Sydney Sweeney teamed up with Dr. Squatch to release “Sydney’s Sudsy Soap”, a bar of soap that’s making headlines because it includes filtered water from a real bath she took during a campaign shoot. The soap, a novelty item sold in a limited run of 5,000 bars, was infused with natural ingredients like pine bark, shea butter, and sea salt—and, of course, a drop (or two?) of Sydney’s bathwater.
The scent? Fittingly named “Morning Wood.” Subtle, it is not.
Each bar was priced at $8 and sold exclusively on Dr. Squatch’s website. The soaps sold out instantly, crashing the site and triggering resale listings online for over $100 each.
Why Is She Doing This?
At first glance, it might sound like a publicity stunt—and in many ways, it is. But Sweeney says she’s fully in on the joke.
The idea originated from fan comments and memes over the years that jokingly asked to buy her bathwater. Rather than ignore the internet’s strange obsession, she leaned into it with humor and creativity.
“I thought it was hilarious,” Sweeney said in a promotional interview. “If people are going to make jokes, let’s have fun with it.”
It’s a rare move: a female celebrity taking control of a meme built around her image and turning it into a marketing win—on her terms.
Internet Reactions: Genius or Gross?
Not surprisingly, the internet exploded.
-
Fans loved it, praising her for being in on the joke and flipping the narrative.
-
Critics slammed the campaign as gimmicky or “weirdly objectifying.”
-
Resellers rushed to flip the bars online for a profit.
Marketing experts call it a masterclass in modern branding—using scarcity, shock value, and a bit of celebrity mystique to create viral demand.
This campaign follows in the footsteps of viral stunts like Belle Delphine’s “Gamer Girl Bath Water” and Gwyneth Paltrow’s “vagina candle.” But unlike those, this collab has the polish and production value of a major mainstream brand behind it.
Final Thoughts: More Than Just Soap
So, why is Sydney Sweeney selling her bathwater? Because she can, and because in today’s influencer economy, celebrity novelty sells. She’s not just acting anymore—she’s directing the narrative.
It might be weird. It might be genius. It’s probably both.
Either way, it’s clear: in 2025, fame isn’t just about the roles you play—it’s about how creatively you sell yourself. Even if it’s by the bar.
