Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream Review
In today’s review, I want to talk about the Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, the brand’s bestselling product. For those curious, it’s pronounced ‘boom boom’. Despite its playful name, this cream can be used all over the body, not just on your bum. Now, let me share my experience with it.
The formula contains a blend of emollients, including coconut oil, açaí oil, cupuaçu butter, Brazil nut seed oil, carrot seed oil, and squalane. It also features guayusa extract and guarana extract (best known for having twice the caffeine concentration of coffee beans), which help combat free-radical damage and tighten the skin. A blend of yerba mate extract and annatto extract provides antioxidant protection while softening the skin, and hyaluronic acid enhances hydration.
The Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has a slightly runny, lotion-like texture that feels pleasant to use. I believe they may have changed the formula, as it now feels a bit lighter and contains fewer shimmer particles. It absorbs quite quickly and doesn’t leave the skin feeling greasy or sticky at all.
This cream is really nice to use and feels very lovely on the skin. It glides on smoothly, feeling airy and lightweight while moisturising and softening the skin. As for their claim about firming – honestly, I’m not really a believer in tightening creams. I wouldn’t call this the most moisturising cream, but let’s be honest – we’re buying this for the scent. The best product is the one you’ll actually use, and I understand why people love this cream so much. It’s pleasant to use and smells so good.
The Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream features the brand’s signature Cheirosa 62 fragrance, which smells like a holiday in a jar. Its sweet, delicious aroma combines pistachio, almond, vanilla and salted caramel notes, staying on the skin for hours. Though this scent is widely popular and adored by many, it isn’t my personal favourite among SDJ’s fragrances.
Overall, the Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream is a lovely product that’s really pleasant to use. While I wouldn’t call it the most effective moisturiser, it’s still a nice body cream, and its delightful scent makes it a worthwhile purchase.
