Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum® Cream
Brazilian Bum Bum® Cream is one of the most recognizable tropical body creams online. For Aloha Tested, the useful question is not just whether it smells good; it is whether the texture, scent, and price make sense for a Hawaii vacation routine.

How we test it in Hawaii
- Apply to one arm/leg after shower and time how quickly the cream feels dry to the touch.
- Check whether the scent is still noticeable after 1, 3, and 6 hours in warm weather.
- Test transfer risk by wearing a dark cover-up after application.
- Compare a small jar versus a less expensive body cream for “worth the splurge?” content.
- Shoot close-ups of texture, rub-in, shine, and packaging size next to a beach bag.
Good to know
- Official product positioning: visibly firming, tightening, and moisturizing body cream.
- Fragrance profile includes pistachio, almond, heliotrope, jasmine petals, vanilla, salted caramel, and sandalwood.
- Highlighted ingredients include guaraná extract, plant squalane, cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, açaí oil, Brazil nut oil, and sodium hyaluronate.
- Contains fragrance and Brazil nut ingredients, so sensitive-skin and allergy disclaimers should be handled carefully.
