Sydney Sweeney has become more popular in the last couple of days. The Hollywood star has reportedly been offered an astronomical amount to act in a Bollywood movie. But, did you know that, earlier this year, she sold a soap made of her bathwater?

In May, Sydney Sweeney launched an unusual product with Dr. Squatch Soap. It was a soap bar made with her actual bathwater.

Named Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss, it was announced on Instagram on May 29. Sydney wrote that fans kept asking about her bathwater after a Dr. Squatch ad. So, they made a very real, limited-edition soap.

Priced at $8 ( 700), the soap mixed exfoliating sand, pine bark extract and water from her bubble bath. Only 5,000 bars were made while the limited-edition soap was sold exclusively on Dr Squatch’s website.

Dr Squatch described the soap as smelling like “Morning Wood” with medium grit. To promote the launch, it also held a giveaway where 100 winners got a free bar.

“In collaboration with Sydney Sweeney, we created a limited-edition soap infused with her ACTUAL bathwater. Why? Because y’all wouldn’t stop asking. And Sydney said, ‘Let’s do it.’ (what a legend),” Dr Squatch wrote on Instagram while offering the giveaway.

The soap is no longer available for sale. However, earlier reports claimed that one of the soap bars was resold at an eBay auction for $2,000 ( 1.76 lakh).
