Sydney Sweeney sells bars of soap infused with her bathwater
The new soap apparently smells like "morning wood'.
Actress Sydney Sweeney is selling bars of soap that have been infused with her bathwater. The limited run is called Sydney's Bathwater Bliss and apparently smells like "morning wood'.
The Euphoria actress broke the news on social media in a joint post with natural handmade soap brand Dr. Squatch. In the post the actress confirms, is 'very real,' and will be 'very limited'.
Sydney's soap is described as 'a perfect combination of the two best places on the planet: The outdoors and Sydney Sweeney's bathtub.'
While its ingredients include pine, earthy moss and 'a touch of Sydney's very own bathwater'.
Sweeney took to Instagram to tell her followers, 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it.
'Introducing Sydney's Bathwater Bliss! A very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater.'
The Hollywood actor often faces unsolicited comments about her body from fans — some of whom have even expressed their desire to consume her bath water.
'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 soap.
'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.'
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.
The soap is due to go on sale on June 6. Dr. Squatch has also announced a giveaway of 100 bars of the limited edition soap.
Reddit users had a mixed reaction to the news of the soap infused with used bath water.
Reddit user Alone-Strain said: 'At the height of KISSmania in the 70's. MARVEL published KISS comic books, they claimed that the red ink was mixed with a drop of blood from each of the band members.
'Same gimmick today.'
Shortbus_playboy said: 'This is awesome. They figured out how to get Redditors to bathe.'
Sweeney, who also starred in The White Lotus TV series and who is due to play Millie in the film adaptation of the best-selling novel The Housemaid, 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.
In an interview with GQ, Sweeney further explained the process of making the soap.
'When we were at the 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 bath water,' 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.'

"Our lovely friends Fiongal & Jamie were very sadly killed yesterday in the plane crash in India. "There's a lot more I want to say about them, as they were very close to @Hannah_woood & I's heart but right now I just wanted to say that if anybody wants to meet up tomorrow if they're feeling heavy, sad or just wanna hang out with some other humans I'm gonna be organising a little meet up & hug in the park or along the lines (sorry not making loads of sense atm). "It feels like there's a lot of sadness and pain at the moment and just wanted to do something as a vigil to our friends but also for everything else going on at the moment. "So please if you're feeling down or even just up for hanging out or just saying hey, it'll be a bunch of us just chatting and chilling in the park."

"I remember his visit to the studio in January, he was passionate about auras and although I'm a sceptical sort his vibrancy and sheer enthusiasm won folk over." He continued: "And I know for a fact that he hoped to use his appearance on This Morning to build his Wellness brand, he had a great future ahead of him. "Thoughts are with his family and friends and those of his partner Jamie." 7 Alex and his girlfriend Helen Wood have arranged a vigil Credit: Instagram 7 The Made In Chelsea star says he is 'emotionally exhausted' Credit: Instagram 7 Alex and his girlfriend Helen were close to Fiongal and Jamie Credit: Instagram

Sabrina Carpenter fans are 'missing point' of controversial new album cover
Fans of singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter have been left divided after she shared the cover art for her upcoming album, Man's Best Friend, which will be released in August When Sabrina Carpenter unveiled her upcoming album's cover, set for release this summer, it instantly ignited a storm of controversy about its underlying message – but some music fans argue that critics are "missing the point". The diminutive songstress has carved out a niche with her infectious tunes that cleverly weave satire and societal observations, all delivered in her distinctively bold and risqué pop princess style. The 26-year-old songbird has been navigating the music scene for more than 10 years, with her first album dropping in 2015. However, it was her fifth studio offering, Emails I Can't Send, released in 2022, that began turning heads on a larger scale. Her 2024 hit track, Espresso, fully propelled her into the limelight and secured her position as a pop star. Her sixth album, Short n' Sweet, soon followed and took the music world by storm – clinching the top spot on the Billboard 200 and earning her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2025. Recently, the singer confirmed on Instagram with a duo of pictures that her latest album, Man's Best Friend, is slated for an August 29 release. The album cover features Sabrina down on her knees with what seems to be a man's hand gripping her hair. Accompanying this is a second photo, which zooms in on a blonde puppy sporting a light blue dog collar adorned with a gold heart, etched with the album's name. The controversial announcement has raked in more than four million likes so far but it's sparked a deluge of comments from people upset by Sabrina's perceived submission in the first image, especially during such a politically tumultuous time for women. Instagram users flooded the comments with their thoughts. One said: "Love Sabrina - but this picture - why is the man in there like that? It's not a very empowering image for women." Another voiced their confusion: "Explain to me again how this isn't centering men? How this isn't catering to the male gaze?" A third remarked: "Okay - it's sarcastic? Satire? Art? Symbolism? But what about the men or boys who see this on billboards, on Instagram, in music promos - and consciously or not, internalise that this is what power looks like: a man objectifying a woman. Does that image challenge objectification or reinforce it?" TikTok pop culture commentator Holden Smith – who boasts 178,000 followers – labelled the debate over the album artwork "so wild". In a widely viewed video, Smith said: "To me, it just felt very 'Sabrina'. 'Man's best friend' is a dog, a female dog is also called a b***h. "Sabrina on all fours, with a man pulling her hair, is feeding into that. I believed, in a cheeky way." The content creator then addressed some of the extreme reactions and continued: "There are a lot of social media comments saying that this is extremely degrading and that she has set women back hundreds of years and, to me, that is a crazy statement." Holden speculated: "Sabrina could also be using the cover to hold a mirror up to the public and say, 'this is how you guys are saying that you see me, for the male gaze rather than for the female gaze'." Smith then said: "I found it extremely interesting that this is the main conversation around her new album. As someone who was the breakout artist of the year last year, who truly got, like, no negative press; this switch up feels kind of crazy - especially when she's giving us a second album in two years." Holden expressed disappointment that the album announcement wasn't met with joy, noting it "felt like it should be a crazy happy announcement" rather than sparking intense debate over its cover. Sabrina, who doesn't shy away from expressing her sexuality and sense of fun, has yet to elaborate on the provocative choice of imagery for her latest album.

Danish influencer slammed for 'damaging' Skye beauty spot
August Vallat, who goes by the username outdoorgingerchannel and has more than a million followers on Instagram alone, has been told to 'show some respect' after he allegedly damaged a protected beauty spot in the Outer Hebrides. Locals reportedly discovered scorched trees, felled birch wood, and discarded bottles at the Cuillin Hills, near Glenbrittle, which prompted widespread outrage on social media. Vallat, who regularly promotes the ethics of leaving no trace while camping outdoors in his videos, has been accused of hypocrisy after allegedly leaving the area where he stayed 'like a festival site'. Walkers visiting the site after Vallat had stayed allegedly found burnt grass, food wrappers, and trees damaged, the International Business Times reported. READ MORE: Plans for Sicilian-flavoured spaghetti Western backed entirely by female funders Vallat has reportedly deleted several posts from social media relating to his time at Glenbrittle and has blocked people from commenting on certain videos on his Instagram account. In one video posted on Wednesday, which is still on his Instagram, Vallat states he's going to 'survive' in Scotland for three days. In the short clip, he can be seen using an open fire on top of what appears to be a grass verge. Later in the same video, he can be seen, along with two other men he said were Scots, adding what appears to be tree branches to the open fire. Vallat says at the end of the video: 'It's more beautiful than most of the nature I have seen in my life.' However, people have been quick to criticise the Dane with one person commenting under the video: 'What a shame that you think it's ok to come to the Isle of Skye and cut down trees. 'Spread rubbish everywhere. Damage the ground with your fires. 'You then complained when a well known mountaineer 'hurt your feelings' for telling you to clear up your rubbish as you camped on the Cuillin, one of the most spectacular places in the world. 'Unbelievable. Go and educate yourself.' Meanwhile, a second person said: 'Scotland is 'the most beautiful nature' you've seen, yet you choose to come here and cut down trees, leave scars on the landscape from your fire and basically leave it less beautiful than when you arrived. 'How dare you treat our country like this. 'If you actually give a shit about the outdoors, I hope that you take a good hard look at how you have been behaving and think about what you are encouraging your followers to do. They added: 'Show some respect for these beautiful places that you are lucky enough to travel through and the people who live here.' In another video, Vallat and the two other men are then seen drinking bottles of beer while standing in a waterfall. One person commented: 'Leave no trace means exactly that — leave no trace. 'You should be ashamed of the way you vandalised the natural environment.' However, Vallat has denied the claims that he left any of the areas in poor states after he visited them, as he said the reports were 'fake news'. He said: 'The article is fake news. We did not leave any trash behind us at the campsite. 'I don't even know how this got in a journal. 'I have been camping for three years, and I have never had a problem like this so don't believe in everything you see on the Internet.'
