Who doesn’t want a smoother and visibly tighter derriere? Add to that the most addictive scent you’ve ever smelled, and it’s easy to see why Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream was an instant bestseller when it made its debut in 2016. In fact, the vegan, cruelty-free formula has won countless beauty awards, including the Allure Readers’ Choice Award in 2020 and countless other awards ever since.
Like so many others, we’ve been lured by the appeal of this exceptionally popular product and purchased our Bum Bum jar. Since the 8.1-ounce Bum Bum concoction costs $48 ($5.92 per ounce), and since we went through the first one faster than Milli Vanilli’s music career, we had to find Bum Bum Cream dupes before that first one turned into a very expensive habit.
What Is Brazilian Bum Bum Cream?
Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (pronounced “boom boom”) is more than a trendy product with a really cute and clever name. The combo of its buttery texture, unique scent and skin-firming properties make it an extremely indulgent all-over body moisturizer, not just for your tush. It also has five times the amount of caffeine as coffee to help stimulate circulation. It pretty much does everything except clean the kitchen.
So, why’s it so famous? Is it the quality? Amazonian ingredients? Skin-tightening promises? Yes, yes and yes! But really, what people love the most is its unique scent. Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has almost 25,000 5-star reviews at Soldejaneiro.com. Most mention Bum Bum’s scent as the main reason for their adoration. Reviewers, bloggers, celebrities (Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez, for example), TikTokers and YouTubers also rave about its fragrant scent, using words like salted caramel, vanilla ice cream cones, pistachio, tropical vacations, fresh coconut, and summer to describe it.
These are our picks for Brazilian Bum Bum Cream dupes that won’t bust your budget but will instead fill your life with a yummy scent and softer skin:
