Fans of Sydney Sweeney have been left shaken as the star launches a 'creepy and disgusting' product.
If you've heard of Gwyneth Paltrow's infamous 'This Smells Like My Vagina' candle, brace yourself for what The Handmaid's Tale star has got in store.
The 27-year-old TV star has created a new product that she says has come straight from her used bathwater.

Sweeney's Bathwater Bliss with Dr. Squatch has made a batch of 5,000 bars for sale - and if you doubted whether its ingredients are made up of any old water, each bar apparently comes with its own authentication certificate that confirms it's made from her bathwater.
Announcing the bizarre bar of soap, which is marketed as a 'men's natural soap bar', Sweeney said: "When fans start asking for your bathwater, either ignore it or turn it into a soap.
"It's weird in the best way."

The Washington-born actress became the poster girl for the brand in October last year, becoming its ambassador.
In a provocative ad, Sweeney posed from a steamy tub to promote a body wash, where she said: "Hello you dirty little boys, are you interested in my body... wash?"
"Well you can't have it, because this isn't for boys. It's for men. This is Dr. Squatch Natural Body Wash with long lasting, natural aromas like wood barrel bourbon, pine tar, coconut castaway, and fresh falls."
It was apparently so successful that it inspired Sweeney and Dr. Squatch to go a step further with the soap bar, with the star adding in another post on Instagram: "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."
Eager fans can purchase a bar as of June 6 this year, which promises the 'ultimate blend of outdoor serenity with refreshing notes of pine, douglas fir, earthy moss, and a touch of Sydney's Bathwater Bliss.' There's apparently a limited run of 5,000 bars.

However, not everyone is particularly thrilled by the concept with dozens of fans racing to social media to call it 'creepy and disgusting.'
"I love you Sydney but what the f*** is this," said one fan.
Others seemed enraged by the 'weird' marketing for men, saying it sets women's rights back.
"We're never making it out of the patriarchy," another chimed, while another agreed: "This is what happens when you are admired by mostly men. They reduce you to a mere object of desire."

A fifth added that it was simply an 'unclassy' and 'uncouth' gimmick.
Some have, however, found the funny side in the new product.
"Whatever makes men take showers," read one comment.

Another wrote: "This is so disgusting but I just know the men gonna sell it out so go off sis!"
The move comes as Sweeney is set to appear in the third and possibly last season of the teen drama, Euphoria, where the star shot to fame in the series playing Cassie.
