Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada
Sol de Janeiro has just launched a body lotion designed to turn your daily moisturising step into a moment of joy. Called Body Badalada, this 24-hour hydration cream brings the signature scent of the brand’s cult classic Cheirosa 62 to a lightweight formula that leaves skin soft, smooth and lightly perfumed.
The texture is whipped, fast-absorbing, and packed with ingredients that go beyond surface-level softness. A 7-Hyaluronic Acid blend works across multiple layers to hold moisture, while Brazil nut oil and sugarcane-derived glycolic acid help to nourish and support the skin barrier.
As you'd expect, it smells addictive. Pistachio and salted caramel are the stars of the scent, just like in the original Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. It’s rich and warm without feeling heavy — the kind of fragrance that gets compliments in passing.
In trials, 95 percent of testers said their skin felt healthier, more hydrated and silky to the touch. But the brand is not only chasing results. The goal here is to make you enjoy the act of taking care of your skin.
Sol de Janeiro recommends pairing Body Badalada with its Brazilian Play Moisturising Shower Cream-Gel and a few sprays of Cheirosa 62 to build a routine that’s as much about mood as it is about moisture.
Body Badalada is available now, exclusively at Sephora UK.
Pigmentation rarely has a single cause, which makes treating it with a single ingredient something of a hopeful exercise. HydroPeptide is taking a broader approach with Syner-C+ Multi-Action Brightening Serum, a new daily treatment designed to address discolouration at several points in the pigment-forming process. The serum expands the professional skincare brand’s Brighten Collection and combines a 20 per cent concentration of the stable vitamin C derivative 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid with tranexamic acid, arbutin, niacinamide and HydroPeptide’s patented Micellar CellRenew-16 peptide technology.
