Illustrative image — see Amazon for the actual product.
Our verdict
Yes, it's a viral product — and yes, it lives up to it. The scent alone makes Sol de Janeiro's Bum Bum Cream a summer favorite, and the soft, smooth skin is the bonus. Buy one for yourself and one to gift.
The short version
Half the hype is the scent — the warm, sweet pistachio-and-salted-caramel smell people literally get stopped over. But the Bum Bum Cream also genuinely softens and smooths skin with a fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture. It's the ultimate summer body cream and a foolproof gift, which is why it sells out around the holidays every single year.
