How do you know which body care products are best for you?
We’re here to help! Here’s a cheat sheet to help you find your perfect match based on your preferences in fragrance, textures, and unique benefits.
Superpower: Caffeine is well known in the skincare world to help with the appearance of firmer, tighter skin (hence, the caffeine craze we’ve seen in eye creams). Brazilian Bum Bum Cream contains guaraná extract, which is a Brazilian fruit that contains 5x the amount of caffeine than coffee. Gives the appearance of firmer, smoother thighs and booty, and instantly peps up dull, lackluster skin.
Fragrance: Warm and delicious. Notes of salted caramel and pistachio so deliciously complex that strangers on the street won’t be able to help but disrupt your double-Airpodded-self to say, “So sorry to bother you, but WHAT is your scented body lotion?"
It’s Bum Bum, baby.
My first-reach for: Vacation. Date night. A mandatory ritual for the first day of daylight savings when it gets dark at 4pm. (Summer-withdrawal is TOO REAL. A body cream that will moisturize AND provide emotional support? I’ll take 12, please).
Superpower: Combatting dry, scaly, and ashy winter skin and providing 72 hours of hydration with ingredients like nourishing coconut oil and fermented sugar, which locks in moisture. Don’t let the lack of shimmer fool you - you’ll get an instant hydration boost.
Fragrance: Delectable and sophisticated. It has notes of young green coconut cream, tropical orchid, and toasted praline - making the fragrance closer to authentic coconut rather than the one you grew up with during your tweenage years.
My first-reach for: Ski trip. #SelfCareSolDay. Cozy movie night. (Move over, Netflix & Chill. It’s time for Hulu & Hydrate).
Superpower: Best for acting as a forcefield against environmental stressors and pollution. The antioxidants found in the superfood açaí fight off free radicals (daily pollution).
The peachy mica provides an instant glow, making it look like you just walked your #flawless self out of a Vinyasa yoga class.
Fragrance: Crisp & clean. This fresh floral fragrance transports you to the middle of a lush, Brazilian rainforest.
My first reach for: Days in the city (aka a bubble of car exhaust, germs, and random unidentified floaters?). Stressful days when I’m in need of some peaceful aromatherapy.
Superpower: The ultimate reset-button. Unscented and shimmer-free, this cream’s sole focus is to moisturize and comfort your skin with soothing ingredients like Brazilian Passionflower and Colloidal Oatmeal.
This is a great way to give extra attention to mildly irritated or sensitive skin.
My first reach for: Low-key Saturdays. Dressing up the bathroom before having guests (I mean have you SEEN this gorgeous packaging?). Every day in January.
Just like multi-masking, we’d like to introduce you to multi-moisturizing.
Here's an example of my current regimen:
Sol-rise (daytime):
- Brazilian Bum Bum Cream on torso, tummy, and of course- my bum bum!
- Coco Cabana Cream on arms, legs (I get really dry shins in the winter), and hands (don’t forget the cuticles).
Sol-set (nighttime):
- Brazilian Nude on my upper arms and thighs for my KP (keratosis pilaris) - it has been a SAVIOR.
- Açaí Body Power Cream everywhere else. (Ideally, I’d be falling asleep in a Brazilian oasis every night, but this is as close as I’ll get for now).

Even though CC is my favorite, I love all of the SDJ creams. And I would use any one of them as a night time body moisturizer because I definitely need a body moisturizer after my showers at night. ❤
I bought Bum Bum cream at Sephora and I absolutely LOVED it!!! So here I am placing my order on here and even thinking of the 30 day renewal offer. Thanks SOL De Janeiro for your awesome products :)
Bum bum all day every day
The best smelling stuff in the world 😍
The bum bum cream is actually more moisturizing for me than the coco cabana cream. I keep buying it over and over!!!!!
I use Coco Cabana all over my winter dry skin. Its the most effective hydrating cream I have EVER used and I have tried sooooo many different creams on my super dry leg and arm skin in these harsh winters. This is my new " can’t live without" product!
The Bum Bum Cream is my favorite lotion I’ve ever owed. It smells like heaven and makes my skin so so soft.
I would recommend it 100%. Just for starters I would probably want to buy the smaller $20 one first just to check if you really love it and then buy the bigger size! But do what ever you’d like and once again it’s amazing!
Bidi Bidi “Bum Bum” !!
This is my “any occasion” go to. Bum Bum cream is a dream!
I was first introduced to SOL de Janeiro through my Sephora Play monthly sample bags and I LOVE these two products!! I use the Coco Cabana cream on my hands and cuticles, and the Bum Bum Cream everywhere else!! My skin is SO soft and I smell awesome!! Thank you SOL de Janeiro~ In Love!!
My all time is the bum bum cream the smell is amazing the most I use it on everything on my pillow sofa on me of course its addictive but in a good way and the 4 play leaves my skins so soft I love it all..
I will not wear any other cream since I first received the bum bum cream as a gift a few weeks ago. About to order more.
I love Bum Bum cream! I am constantly being asked what scent I am wearing!!

Huge help in understanding fragrance notes to decide on the perfect formula!!
Im obsessed with Sol de Janeiro products. I just saw that they came out with Shampoo and Conditioner too! Love love love it!
These products are now apart of my daily moisturizing regimen. Absolutely love!!!
I can’t wait to try the bum bum cream! I am so excited.
never thought of multi-using your lotions like this.. thank you so much for the advice!!
The Brazilian Bum Bum Cream is my absolute favroite body lotion I have ever bought! The smell it just so lovely and it makes the skin soo soft!! I’m never buy another body lotion again!
I’m so addicted to the Bum Bum cream. The smell is amazing. I recently tried the coco cabana which I also love. I can’t wait to try the others.
BumBum is the absolute best!
I have psoriasis and this is the best thing I have found to combat dry flakey skin. Other moisturizers stop working within a couple hours. I can apply BumBum and I have 24+ hours of hydrated silky soft skin. I have even replaced my facial moisturizer with BumBum. All day moisture with out being greasy. And the smell is just a bonus! Smells like summer day at the beach.
I love the bum bum cream and 4 play shower gel! I’m addicted just ordered a gift set for me and one for my daughter
Bum Bum cream saved my Bum Bum. I’m 48 and I’m obsessed with this incredible stuff. Smells amazing and isnt greasy.
Love love the Bum Bum cream and so does my 2year old grand daughter
I love the scents. It leaves me smelling gorgeous and the bum bum cream does firm my bum.
my daughter loves this stuff.
I have super dry skin. I put the bum bum cream everywhere besides my face. I then spray my body and hair with the mist and get dressed and then spray my hair. I’m waiting for the other 2 different ones to come for my to try. I’ve always been about the smell of something as to if I’d use it…I have the 240ml on my nightstand. I reapply regularly. My hands are looking YOUNGER! I fall asleep with my hands under my chin so I smell it all night. It makes me so happy and peaceful and I sleep so well because of it!
I personally love the bum bum cream. It is my favorite!!
My husband knows right away when I have the Bum Bum Cream on and he absolutely adores it, so much in fact he doesnt even mind me buying it!
I really love the bum bum cream and coco cream. I have problem skin and this has made a big difference. I love the scent and
really love how it is not greasy. Im giving this as gifts this year so others can enjoy as well.
This is incredible content thankyou!
