DR. Squatch, the company behind the viral Sydney Sweeney bathwater soap that sold out in minutes, has revealed the truth behind Walmart’s listings of the product.
The soap company exposed the third-party listings in an exclusive statement to The U.S. Sun, commenting on the authenticity of the products being sold on Walmart’s website.
Sydney Sweeney, a beloved American actress best known for her roles in Euphoria, Anyone But You, and The White Lotus, has skyrocketed to fame in recent years – so much so that fans jokingly begged for the star’s bathwater.
The popular men’s grooming company Dr. Squatch caught wind of the joke and decided to turn it into a real product, rolling out a limited-edition soap called Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss on June 6.
The product was initially priced at $8 and sold out within minutes on the soap company’s website, with shoppers reporting website crashes and lengthy wait times.
While the soap is no longer available on the Dr. Squatch website, listings of Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss soap have begun popping up on Walmart’s site.

They feature titles such as “Dr_squatch Mens Soap – Bathwater 5oz Teal Soap Bar” or “Dr Squatc Bathwater 5oz Teal Soap Bar,” subtly implying a connection to the authentic product.
Although the listings do not explicitly claim to be authentic Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss soap in the product title or the descriptions, they utilize photos of the real product.
Dr. Squatch revealed to The U.S. Sun that the Walmart listings were in no way affiliated with the soap company, and that it is possible that they are fake.
“While we don’t control third-party resellers, we can confirm that Dr. Squatch has not authorized the Sydney Sweeney Bathwater or any of our limited edition items to be sold through retail stores like Walmart or similar platforms,” a company spokesperson exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
“Because of this, we can’t verify the authenticity or condition of products sold outside our official website or authorized partners.”
The U.S. Sun reached out to Walmart but has not yet heard back. There was no indication Walmart was aware of the third-party listings.
Considering the shockingly high prices at which original Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss soaps are being listed for resale, it is probable that the products for sale on the Walmart website are not the real deal.
For example, one eBay listing has a bar of the soap up for a whopping $1,600, marked down from its original $2,000 ask, while other listings are priced at hundreds of dollars.
STAR SUDS
One year following her appearance in an ad for Dr. Squatch body wash, Sweeney announced the unusual partnership in a joint Instagram post in late May.
“You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it,” wrote the actress. “Introducing Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss! A very real, very limited-edition soap made with my actual bathwater.”
While we don’t control third-party resellers, we can confirm that Dr. Squatch has not authorized the Sydney Sweeney Bathwater or any of our limited edition items to be sold through retail stores like Walmart or similar platforms.”
Dr. Squatch SpokespersonDr. Squatch launched 5,000 bars of the soap on its website at 11 am CST on June 6 for $8 each, with the bars being marked as “out of stock” within just minutes.
Some fans had the soap in their shopping carts, along with a “certificate of authenticity,” waiting in a virtual checkout line over four hours, according to reports.
Sweeney called the pleads for her bath water “weird in the best way,” in a news release.
“Hopefully, this helps guys wake up to the realities of conventional personal care products and pushes them towards natural,” she added.
The soap came in the scent Morning Wood and was formulated with shea butter, pine bark extract, exfoliating sand, and drops of the actress’s bathwater.
Featuring a medium-grit, the soap boasted an earthy scent with notes of pine, Douglas fir, and moss.
Dr. Squatch advertised the soap as “radiant, playful and tempting.”
“There’s no playbook for turning Sydney Sweeney’s actual bathwater into a bar of soap. But that’s exactly why we did it,” said John Ludeke, senior vice president of global marketing for Dr. Squatch, in the release.
“This bar is bizarre, unexpected, and meant to get guys thinking more deeply about what they’re putting on their bodies.”
