Sol de Janeiro -en
SOL DE JANEIRO is a cosmetic brand inspired by Brazilian beauty culture, summer energy, beach scents and body care that combines hydration, glow and a recognizable fragrance trail. The brand name evokes the “sun of January”, the peak of Brazilian summer, while the products are designed to turn everyday body care into a scented ritual of softness, confidence and well-groomed skin.
Sol de Janeiro is best known for scented body creams, body mist sprays, shower gels, body scrubs, oils, deodorants and hair care products. Lines such as Brazilian Bum Bum®, Cheirosa, Beija Flor, Bom Dia Bright and Delícia Drench are chosen when the goal is body hydration, visibly smoother-looking skin and warm, sweet, floral or gourmand fragrance notes.
How to choose a SOL DE JANEIRO product?
The choice depends on whether you are looking for a body mist, rich body cream, scrub for smoother skin, body oil for glow, shower gel for daily cleansing, deodorant or hair care product. In sensitive skin, fragrance allergies, atopy, eczema, pregnancy, breastfeeding or skin prone to irritation, scented products should be introduced gradually and tested on a small area first.

Cheirosa fragrances – the heart of the Sol de Janeiro routine
Sol de Janeiro is especially known for its Cheirosa fragrance notes. Body mist sprays can be used on their own, over body cream or as part of a layered routine with shower gel and body cream from the same fragrance family. The most famous scent is Cheirosa 62, associated with warm notes of pistachio, vanilla and salted caramel.
Brazilian Bum Bum® Cream and scented body care
Brazilian Bum Bum® Cream is the iconic body cream of the brand, intended for hydration, softness, glow and the appearance of smoother skin. It fits best into an after-shower routine, applied with circular motions to thighs, stomach, arms, legs or other body areas that need extra care.
How to create a Sol de Janeiro routine?
A simple routine can start with a scented shower gel, followed by a body scrub 1–2 times weekly, then body cream or body butter, and finally a body mist spray. For a stronger fragrance effect, choose products from the same Cheirosa family, while sensitive skin types should use fewer layers and select scented products more carefully.
Pharmacist advice
Sol de Janeiro products are primarily scented cosmetic body care products, so they should be chosen according to skin type and fragrance tolerance. Richer body creams and butters are better for dry skin, while body mist should be used as the final scented layer. If you have atopic dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, fragrance allergy or very sensitive skin, patch-test first. Scrubs and products with exfoliating acids should not be used on irritated, damaged or freshly shaved skin. Body creams are not a substitute for SPF protection, and scented products should not be applied to the face, mucous membranes or immediately after depilation if the skin is red or stinging.
