Sol de Janeiro Brand Review: Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream Review

Ad affiliate throughout -

This product needs no introduction, today I am super excited to chat about the wonderful Sol De Janeiro products.  I've never met anyone who doesn't love Sol De Janerio, the original and best Brazilian Bum Bum Cream - aka one of the worlds best body moisturisers. I've been using it for years but recently I spotted my current girl crush Sofia Richie Grainge feels exactly the same way and loves the all new Sol De Janerio Bum Bum Cream. 

So just why has Sol De Janerio Bum Bum cream captured the hearts of beauty enthusiasts and celebrities worldwide? why is Sol De Janerio such a great product? Here's my review.

Sol De Janeiro is an American skincare and fragrance brand which was founded in 2015 and quickly emerged as a beacon of sunshine, bringing the warmth of the Brazilian beach culture to our daily routines. 
Just one look at the packaging and smell of the signature base of almond and vanilla scents captures me every time and gives me a feeling of vibrant energy.  The brand's founders seem to have literally bottled the essence of a tropical paradise and have created products that really do nourish the skin and capture the vibes of the Brazilian culture. Here I tell you about this range of radiant beauty products which quite frankly, just smell like a holiday. 


Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream


Where did it all begin?  What is Sol De Janeiro's best seller?

It all began with the iconic sensation that is the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream.  This legendary cream is at the forefront of Sol De Janeiro's product line up. I'm sure you're wondering how do I pronounce Sol De Janerio Bum Bum cream? The correct pronunciation of Bum Bum cream is actually 'Boom Boom' and it was named after the Portuguese name for bottom or buttocks and is Brazilian slang for Butt - so apt! 

I love so many of Sol De Janeiro's products but this has to be my favourite of all time and it's the first product I used from the brand.  Sol De Janerio's Bum Bum cream actually works though too, it has literally achieved fame throughout the world for its transformative effects. Infused with guayana extract, cupuacu nutter and coconut oil it is a super hydrator and also firms while leaving the most delicious scent to transport anyone to the lively streets of Rio de Janeiro. 


Do Sol De Janeiro products use clean ingredients?

It seems that not only are Sol De Janeiro products a pleasure to use but they are also made using carefully selected ingredients and Sol De Janeiro say that they have banned the use of over 100 cosmetic ingredients such as parabens, sulphates and microplastics and only work with partners who support their commitment to sustainable sourcing and science-backed safe biomimetics.  Additionally some of their body creams now also come with refillable options thereby helping the environment.  Sol De Janerio do not test on animals and they are all dermatologist tested.

Why is Sol De Janeiro so popular and what made it go viral?

 Sol De Janeiro's Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has the perfect name for conjuring up thoughts of the Brazilian beach culture and long sunny days.  Add this to the fact that their vanilla scents were so widely adored by influencers on social media platforms which really elevated its popularity.  The effective moisturising properties were again celebrated when Sofia Richie Grainge endorsed it as a late comer and well that was just the icing on the cake, everyone wants to know which beauty products Sofia Richie loves and she also loves Sol De Janerio. Add those points together and Sol De Janeiro has created the perfect storm.

Does Sol De Janeiro sell fragrances?

Oh yes they do - both perfume mists and Eau De Perfumes (EDP) and they are equally brilliant.  Here is a list of a few of my faves but ultimately they are perfect for spritzing after the gym, after a long day, before a date, in your hair or just all over for an instant holiday feel. 

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '40 Perfume Mist - a warm floral scent with black amber plum and vanilla woods.
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Perfume Mist - with delicious notes of velvet plum and sugar violet. 
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '68 Perfume Mist - fruity and floral with sweet notes of lychee essence and pink dragonfruit
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '71 Perfume Mist - a cosy and sensual fragrance with notes of white chocolate, sea salt and coconut blossom 
Sol De Janeiro 40 Perfume Mist - a sultry, vibrant fragrance of black amber plum, creme de cassis and jasmine, I think this is my favourite of all with the chocolate one playing a close second!

The Sol De Janerio Cheirosa range is aptly named after the January sun - this is when the sun reaches its highest point in Brazil. I love that Sol De Janeiro tie everything back to the sun and beaches of Brazil.

What is the texture of Sol De Janeiro's body creams?

My Mum is literally a body cream expert - she body moisturises from head to toe every day to help combat the dry skin that has emerged in menopause and it is safe to say she thinks Sol De Janeiro are amongst the best.  I asked her to describe texture and benefits of the ones she has used and she says that they are luxurious and creamy to use, sink in to the skin nicely and are not at all sticky and leave a rich and velvety smooth feel.  She added that they keep her skin moisturised all day. Having used them myself For me personally, I just love that they dry quickly and they're not sticky plus they leave me smelling like I've stepped out of the Maldives. I would add that they are super nourishing and moisturising and have the most yummy scents.  Formulations do vary depending on the ingredients that are used but in the main the above describes the texture of all Sol De Janeiro creams we have used. 

Are Sol De Janeiro's products expensive?

The pricing of Sol de Janeiro products can vary and they are generally considered to be mid to high-end range.  For context, body creams range between £21 and £48 depending on size, perfume mist £24 - £38 and Jet Sets are £30. I have to say, a little goes a long way so at this price point I do think they are value for money as they last. Put it this way, they make a beautiful gift. 

Where can I buy Sol De Janeiro products from?

So, there you have it, all the reasons I love this brand!  Using Sol De Janeiro's products is an experience, from the moment you uncap a product, the beautiful scents and amazing deep nourishing textures transport you to the heart of Brazil.  The brand's ethos revolves around embracing and celebrating our bodies, radiating confidence and daring to indulge in guilt free self-care.  I you haven't tried them yet, I hope this article has encouraged you to start your journey to the tropical paradise and enjoy every minute. 

Lots of love, Em x
