In Brazil, we are immersed in beauty in all forms – from the colors, scents and sensations that surround us, to the Body Joy we see and feel every day. We embrace uniqueness because we know there’s no one way to be beautiful. Our love of diversity comes naturally to us and is at the heart of everything we do.
Sol de Janeiro is committed to creating products inspired by the lush, natural diversity of Brazil and intended for good – good for your skin, and good for the world around us.
Our experience comes from a place of positivity and pleasure, and we believe in high-quality beauty formulations that celebrate our bodies and bring something joyful to every body.
Sol de Janeiro isn’t about trends. Our products really offer the ingredients that Brazilians have loved and passed down over many generations, from mothers to daughters. They feel and smell amazing – and they work.

The silicones we’ve carefully formulated in our haircare products aren’t cyclical or volatile silicones. They are a new water rinsable silicone. Traditional silicones provide a short term benefit to hair but then build up and result in weighed down, dull hair. Because traditional silicones form a protective layer over the hair and don’t rinse off, they attract build up and prevent conditioner and other nutrition from getting into the hair follicle, which can result in split ends and breakage. The new silicones use are water soluble, leaving a silky smooth finish without the buildup. Our silicones are not D4, D5, D6 silicones.
