In the dead of winter, we’re looking for all the ways to add some summer sunshine into our routine. That includes slathering our body with Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream . The coveted body cream moisturizes, smooths, and firms the skin—and its ingredient list of cupuaçu butter, guaraná, and açaí oil gets full credit for its skincare magic. 

The Best Bum Bum Cream Dupes at a Glance 

• Best From Target: Palmer’s Brazilian Coco Cream, $16

That’s all amazing, but what it’s really known for is its addictive scent. With notes of vanilla, salted caramel, and pistachio, shoppers seriously can’t stop sniffing this heavenly aroma. I can personally confirm that, as soon as you untwist the tub, the fragrance transports you to a tropical island with nothing but the ocean breeze in your face and sand tickling your toes (exactly what we need to get through the next snowstorm).

As wonderful as this all sounds, the price tag is just not what we like to see. It hurts our hearts and our wallets to say that one jar costs $48. Since we know it can be hard to justify body cream at that price (even if it the best-smelling lotion), we set out to find alternatives that won’t break the bank. 

From Tree Hut, OGX, and more, we dug up five Bum Bum Cream dupes that both smell magnificent and make your skin silky smooth. So get your arms, legs, and buns out because you’re about to receive endless compliments and questions about what’s got you smelling like a golden beach goddess.
