The Best Dupes For The Iconic Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
By PRECIOUS UMEASALUGO
Tree Hut
Tree Hut’s Tropic Glow Firming Whipped Body Butter has a shimmery, lightweight formula with shea butter, guaraná extract, and cupuaçu butter like the iconic Bum Bum cream.
The body butter also has almond, golden amber, and sandalwood notes, similar to Bum Bum. It currently retails at $10 at Ulta and Target for 8.4 ounces.
Nutrius
The Nutrius Brazilian Body Butter Cream is the Costco version of the Bum Bum cream, and for only $35, you get a two-pack of 177 ml containers.
It similarly contains cupuaçu butter and guaraná extract to firm your skin. Some reviewers say the texture and hydration are a dupe, but its scent differs from Cheirosa '62.
Treaclemoon
At just about $6 for 250 ml of product, Treaclemoon Brazilian Love Body Lotion with coconut extract and macadamia oil is a great bargain and worth the hype.
Reviewers like the similar scent, but some noted it doesn’t absorb as well. It also has no claims of skin tightening, but its other similarities and price overshadow complaints.
Soap & Glory
Formulated with five different oils, Soap & Glory's Smoothie Star Body Butter is just $16 for 300 ml of product. It also includes pistachio, almonds, hazelnuts, and vanilla notes.
The butter includes pistachio, almonds, hazelnut, and vanilla notes, which create a rich gourmand scent profile that is popular with some but overwhelming to others.
