Sol de Janeiro is our Brand of the Month

Bring the spirit of Brazil to your beauty bag with Sol de Janeiro — our Brand of the Month. Famed for its Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (more on that later!), Sol de Janeiro’s sunshine-scented staples are powered by the Amazon’s freshest ingredients and have built the brand a cult following on socials (including billions of views on TikTok).

GET TO KNOW SOL DE JANEIRO

Walking along the sandy shores of Rio in a tiny bikini (and a blooming pregnant belly), Heela Yang felt liberated. She’d moved to Brazil with her husband seven years prior, but it was in this moment that she truly noticed the country’s body inclusive beach culture. Inspired to — quite literally — bottle that feeling up, she went on to launch Sol de Janeiro in 2015.

Named after the moment when the Brazilian sun hits its highest point — ‘Sun of January’ — the brand is built on the ethos that every body should be celebrated, embraced and accepted.

SOL DE JANEIRO BESTSELLERS

Arguably the brand’s most beloved product, the Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Body Butte r is a rich, intensely hydrating treat infused with nourishing ingredients like cupuaçu butter and antioxidant-rich açaí. Complementing this indulgence, the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 68 Perfume Mist offers a captivating scent experience, with warm notes of vanilla, caramel, and coconut that evoke tropical bliss. For those wanting to explore a variety of fragrances, the Sol de Janeiro Limited Edition Perfume Mist Discovery Set is the perfect way to sample the brand’s signature scents, each leaving a radiant, irresistible scent that transports you straight to sunny beaches and festive vibes.

Sol de Janeiro's Body Badalada Lotion shot against a background of ice cream

Joining the line up of must-haves, the new Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada Vitamin Infused Body Lotion is set to be your daily essential.

Layer your favourite body care with the Sol de Janeiro Limited Edition Cheirosa 39 Perfume Mist, infused with creamy coconut, rich vanilla and toasted praline scent that leaves a sweet, sensual trail.

IS SOL DE JANEIRO CRUELTY-FREE

Want your beauty buys to align with your values? You’re in luck. Sol de Janeiro is one of our many Cult Conscious brands and has been certified as PETA Cruelty-Free by our third party partner, Provenance.

For a brand to be classed as PETA Cruelty-Free, some of the steps it must take include:

Signing a statement that it or its suppliers do not conduct, commission, pay for or allow any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations or finished products and won’t do so in the future
Putting agreements in place with its suppliers that no animal testing is done at any stage

On each of Sol de Janeiro’s staples, look out for the PETA Cruelty-Free Proof Point for confirmation the brand is doing good when it comes to protecting our furry (and sometimes not so furry) friends.
