SCP-999: “The Happiness Bar” Summer Citrus

SCP-999: “The Happiness Bar”

Object Class: Safe
Containment Status: Free-Roaming

Description:
SCP-999 appears in the form of handcrafted Summer Citrus Cold Process Soap, each bar cut precisely to 1" thick and weighing approximately 4.8 oz. Instances exhibit a warm, swirling orange hue and emit a distinct triple-citrus aroma of lime, lemon, and sweet orange, which has been documented to elevate mood and induce spontaneous laughter among nearby personnel.

Originally manufactured within U.S. borders by artisan creators, SCP-999 was acquired by the Foundation following multiple reports of “persistent happiness outbreaks” among civilian test markets. Despite its vivid appearance and energetic scent, SCP-999 is non-toxic and entirely composed of high-quality ingredients.

Foundation researchers have observed SCP-999 actively promoting emotional wellness in those exposed to its fragrance, reducing stress and tension. Personnel working near SCP-999’s containment area often report “feeling like sunshine,” and the entity has been approved for limited free-roaming privileges within the facility.

Composition:

• Olive Oil
• Soybean Oil
• Coconut Oil
• Canola Oil
• Sunflower Oil
• Organic Shea Butter
• Water
• Sodium Hydroxide (Lye)
• D&C Color

Handling Procedures:
SCP-999 requires no active containment. Instances may freely roam approved Foundation facilities, though they are to be kept in cool, dry containment zones when not in use. Bio-safe wrapping is to remain readily available for storage and distribution. Direct interaction with SCP-999 is encouraged for morale-boosting purposes, provided hygiene protocols are observed.

Notes:
Due to the handmade nature of SCP-999, variations in color swirls and pattern intensity are to be expected. Each instance is unique and exhibits subtle differences in brightness and aroma concentration.

Addendum-999-A:
Personnel interacting with SCP-999 often display uncontrollable laughter, joy, or a strong desire to share the soap with others. While SCP-999 poses no known hazard, repeated exposure may result in increased optimism and spontaneous acts of kindness. Foundation staff are reminded to exercise restraint—and to wash their hands, not just their worries, away.
