Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
A scented body moisturizer that smells like pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla. More of a treat than a basic lotion.
$48
This is Sol de Janeiro's signature body cream. It has a thick, rich texture and a very strong gourmand scent — pistachio, vanilla, salted caramel, sandalwood. You'll smell it on yourself for hours.
The formula has guaraná extract, cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açaí oil. You massage it into your legs, arms, stomach, wherever. It absorbs but leaves a slight sheen.
The jar is refillable — you can buy a pod refill instead of tossing the whole container. Good if you're giving this to someone who already goes through it regularly.
One thing: it contains Brazil nut. Skip it if the person avoids nut-derived ingredients.
Why it works
- Strong signature scent — pistachio, caramel, vanilla.
- Refillable jar. Less waste if they end up loving it.
- Richer than drugstore lotion. Feels like a splurge.
Who it's for
- Someone who likes scented body care and goes through lotion quickly.
- A friend who already uses Sol de Janeiro products.
What to know
- The scent is very strong. Not subtle at all.
- Contains Brazil nut — avoid if they have nut sensitivities.
- 8 fl oz jar is $48. Refill pods cost the same.
