Spring is here — which means temperatures are finally warming up — and it’s time to bare a *little* more skin. Winter might have wreaked havoc causing dry, cracked skin, but thankfully a moisturizing body cream can restore hydration levels (and give your skin a well-deserved treat).
Consider a body cream like your skin’s best friend. It’s a super hydrating emollient that locks in moisture for smooth, soft supple skin. At Sol de Janeiro, all our luxurious formulas are non-greasy with a luxurious feel. Not sure which body cream is best for you?

NEW! Beija Flor™ Elasti-Cream
Our newest dream cream is an elasticity-boosting body cream that's clinically proven to boost collagen* (which is one of your skin's key building blocks. Powered by Plant Collagen (a natural, gentle retinol alternative) and Cacay Oil, this moisture-drenching moisturizer features a lush, bright unexpected floral scent with notes of Brazilian Jasmine and Pink Dragonfruit. The result is skin that’s deeply hydrated, soft and resilient to signs of aging. Believe us, this is the best body cream for bouncy, velvety-soft, youth-kissed skin you’ll love.
Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
Our award-winning body creamis not just a cult classic, it delivers results, too. Dubbed the ‘Ultimate Brazilian Beauty Secret,’ this iconic Cheirosa 62-scented cream combines potent, caffeine-rich Guaraná extract (to smooth and tighten), Cupuaçu Butter (to deeply hydrate), and antioxidant-packed ingredients like Guaraná Extract and Açai Oil. But don’t take our word for it, this is the best body cream for dry skin and the evidence is literally in the jar — one tub of Brazilian Bum Bum cream is sold every 14 seconds!
Bom Dia Bright™ Cream
If you are looking to gently exfoliate while adding hydration, then go ahead and choose the best body moisturizing cream for tackling bumpy or rough patches. Bom Dia (pronounced Bom J-i-a) is formulated with a blend of Fruit AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids), Vitamin C and another vitamin-rich fruit, Cajá, this retexturizing body cream offers a brightening boost like your favorite facial care products. Plus, get ready to fall in love with the soft, sultry scent of Cheirosa 40. It’ s an intoxicating yet delicate blend of Black Amber Plum, Warm Vanilla Woods, Fresh Jasmine Blooms, and a hint of musk.
SOL Babe tip: Rotate your body cream routine with our Brazilian Body Cream Bundle. Bom Dia is our go-to when we’re battling keratosis pilaris or for those days when our skin could just use some extra smoothing. Looking for a lift or showing some skin? Brazilian Bum Bum Cream works to visibly tighten and firm. Either way, both will leave you cheirosa and confident.
Coco Cabana Cream
Need an extra hydration boost? Our best moisturizing body cream deeply hydrates even the most dehydrated skin. Our mix of body-loving oils and CocoSugar blend offer up to 72 hours of hydration, so you won’t have to worry about dry skin cramping your style. Fragrance-wise, look forward to the rich coconut scent of Cheirosa ’39, a blend of coconut cream notes inspired by the young green coconuts of Brazil.

This lush, fragrance-free lotion is a wonderful soothing option for those with more sensitive skin. Our Brazilian Beauty Blend of Cupuaçu Butter, Açai Oil, and Coconut Oil is dermatologist-tested. Plus, colloidal oatmeal helps soothe, while Passionflower provides essential nutrients such as vitamins A and C, and essential fatty acids. This calming cream will keep both you —and your skin happy.
The good news is you don’t need to pick just one — build a collection of body creams exactly right for every need and every mood. Your skin will thank you!

How to Use Body Cream
In Brazil, body care comes naturally, and it’s a pleasure to partake in every day. We know that a body skin care routine brings about soft, touchable skin. But the rewards go beyond that. Taking care of our bodies from head to toe not only maintains the well being of your skin, but also brings a sense of calm and comfort.
Just like your face, the skin on your body needs protection from environmental aggressors, like pollution. A well balanced body routine can protect the skin’s barrier keeping it hydrated, smooth and glowing.
When it comes to your routine, we suggest identifying your skin type and areas of concern, so you can choose the best products for you. For example, dry skin would greatly benefit from our most moisturizing Coco Cabana collection, while breakout-prone skin would do well with the gentle exfoliation found in our Bom Dia Bright(™) products.
Once you have found the products you like for your body, make sure you apply them in the most effective way. We suggest layering from lightest to heaviest (and then back to lightest if you’re topping it off with one of our delicious scents!). The typical SOL routine starts with our hydrating body wash or body scrub, followed by one of our best selling body creams and then your choice of perfume mist.
