This soap features Sydney Sweeney's bathwater as an ingredient. Yes, really

Your favourite celebrities opt for all kinds of strange beauty treatments to look radiant. From vampire facials (which involves reinserting one's plasma into the skin) to penis facials (one that uses discarded foreskin of newborns), celebrities aren't ones to shy away from using the weirdest forms of beauty products. Turns out they don't mind extending some of their bizarre beauty choices to their fans. Normally the thought of using someone's bathwater for any purpose would make our stomachs churn. However, for a certain portion of the internet, using their favourite star's bathwater is an exciting enough thought that they would purchase products made out of it. Dr. Squatch launched a limited-edition soap with Sydney Sweeney's bathwater infused in it. Many are unsurprisingly grossed out and wondering who these soaps are being targeted at and who would buy them. Remember 'that' infamous scene from Saltburn? 

While this comes as a shock to many, there are many past precedents of fans trying some questionable beauty launches by their favourite celebrities, leading them to go viral. From candles that smell like one celebrity's vagina to moisturisers infused with another's blood, read below to know of 4 products that left many on the internet astonished. 

1. Sydney Sweeney X Dr. Squatch 

The news that has excited some, and disturbed many, has to do with the Euphoria actress selling a limited edition soap that has her bathwater infused in it. In collaboration with Dr Squatch, Sydney Sweeney is selling around 5,000 soaps that have her bathwater infused in it. Dr Squatch posted this collaboration on Instagram, captioning it, ""Introducing: Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss. 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)." 

2. 'This smells like Jacob Elordi' Candles

Fair warning: Elordi's actual bathwater didn't make it to the candles (as it was all slurped by Barry Keoghan, get it?). Many fanmade candles were released that were a creation of what Elordi's bathwater would smell like, thanks to the controversial Saltburn scene. Made and sold mainly out of curiosity thanks to the scene, the candles went on to become so popular that they were featured on the Jimmy Fallon show, where the host made his guest Jacob Elordi sniff his own bathwater-scented candles. 

It didn't stop there as an ET host took these viral candles with her to the Golden Globes 2024, where many iconic celebrities even smelled these candles and commented on it. 

3. “This Smells Like My Vagina” Candle by Goop 

If anyone was ever curious about what Gwyneth Paltrow's coochie smelled like, here lies the answer. The Academy award-winning actress-turned-wellness entrepreneur, broke the internet when she released the "This Smells Like My Vagina" candle made by her brand, Goop. Back in 2020, Paltrow's controversial launch got everyone talking and has since, remained one of the most bizarre wellness launches of all time.  A sequel to this iconic launch was released in 2022, which was an extension of vagina-related fragrance, called "This Smells Like My Orgasms". 

4. Victoria Beckham X Dr Barbara Sturm moisturizer

Granted, its used only by Posh Spice herself and isn't for public consumption but this specific moisturiser by Dr Barbara Sturm was made with singer and fashion designer Victoria Beckham's blood. The moisturiser is believed to help stimulate collagen, used her blood platelets for its efficacy and was specifically made for Posh Spice by the brand.
