Some products combine the intention with a vibe. Sol de Janeiro’s products are exactly that! As Harper’s Bazaar mentioned, Sol de Janeiro’s “ethos includes a commitment to exclusively use vegan, science-backed ingredients in its formulas that are all dermatologist-tested for efficacy”. Additionally, each product smells amazing and give you a feeling. Let’s breakdown each of these gems!

Sol de Janeiro Creams

The creams are the centerpiece of this brand! Each Sol de Janeiro cream has an added benefit in addition to moisturizing. There are a variety of creams. So, you have options! Alright, let’s take a deep dive into each one. Shop them here.

Brazilian Bum Bum Cream

First, the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, the most popular product, is MVP of this line. This cream is a blend of the Cheirosa 62 fragrance with yummy notes of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla. The added benefits of the Bum Bum Cream are caffeine-rich guarana that helps visibly smooth and tighten skin. Additionally, the cupuacu butter gives you deep hydration.

Delicia Drench Body Butter

Second, the Delicia Drench Body Butter, is my next favorite. Here’s why: it has a whipped texture and is ultra-rich body butter. This cream, per Sol de Janeiro, “replenishes the skin’s barrier and penetrates deep below the surface to lock in moisture for up to 24 hours and relieve dry skin”. That’s the promise and it delivers. It has Bacuri butter, their Brazilian soothing complex to calm stressed out skin, paired with fermented hibiscus to balance the skin. This one has the refreshing fragrance of Cheirosa 59.

Collagen Boosting Beija Flor Elasti-Cream Body Cream

Coming in third is the Collagen Boosting Beija Flor Elasti-Cream. Collagen is always a good thing, right? This lovely cream gives you, per Sol de Janeiro, bouncy skin and “elasticity-boosting, collagen-rich body cream visibly plumps and deeply replenishes for smoother skin”. We love that! This one has the fruity floral fragrance Cheirosa 68. It has Cacay oil and “plant collagen for hydrated, resilient, and velvety-soft”. So good!

Visibly Brightening and Smoothing Bom Dia AHA Body Cream

Lastly, is the Visibly Brightening and Smoothing Bom Dia AHA Body Cream. This cream brightens while gently exfoliating and moisturizing. We are into that! It has the floral scent of Cheirosa 40 fragrance with dashes of Black Amber plum and vanilla woods. This cream, per Sol de Janeiro, has “Fruit AHAs to help accelerate cell turnover and fight ingrown hairs while Vitamin C helps brighten and even skin tone”. I am in!

Other Sol de Janeiro Favorites

Lastly, there is the Beija Flor Body Wash and the Bum Bum Firmeza Body Oil. Both of these smell delicious and have added benefits. The body wash moisturizes while supporting cell turnover. Also, per Sol de Janeiro, the oil “visibly firming, non-greasy body oil provides deep nourishment and reduces feelings of puffiness”. So good! Shop them here.
