Can’t quite justify splurging on this viral body moisturiser? We’ve got you covered. Here’s the perfect dupe for the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum cream.
If you’ve ever perused the open samples at Mecca or spent time in the bedroom of a 20-something woman, it’s likely you’ve come across a little yellow tub of Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum cream.
Foolproof texture aside, the thick, whipped body butter carries a scent that is universally adored. But at $79 a pop, restocking your beloved Bum Bum cream every time it runs out is hardly conducive to budgeting amidst this cost of living crisis.
However, rather than give up one of life’s little pleasures, you simply need to get creative. Luckily, we’ve found a solution that your nose – and more importantly your wallet – will find more than adequate.
Epzen, the Aussie skincare company that prides itself on its no-BS approach to body care, has released three new body washes, with their bestselling hydrating wash standing in as a perfect dupe for the viral Bum Bum cream.
Epzen Skin Drench Triple Moisture Wash, $13 from Epzen
This foamy body wash is packed full of skin-loving and plumping ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin and coconut oil, leaving you feeling nourished and refreshed after every shower.
Designed to create a barrier against dehydration (and wash your skin, of course) the wash carries heavy scents of caramel, coconut and pistachio – a perfect fragrance dupe for the beloved Bum Bum cream.
After lathering up in the product’s dreamy scent, simply follow your shower with one of Epzen’s hydrating body lotions or serums, such as Butter Up, their bestselling body butter.
Epzen Butter Up Hydrating Body Butter, $34 from Epzen
Your skin will smell and feel as though you’ve just emerged from a pool of Sol de Janeiro’s products, at only a fraction of the price.
If hydration isn’t your only concern, Epzen’s new range of body washes has products that address skin congestion and sensitivity too.
Ezpen Smooth Mover Clearing Body Wash, $13 from Epzen
Breakouts don’t just occur on the face, with Epzen creating this body wash to target body acne concerns in up to 60 per cent of the population. Combining salicylic acid and AHAs, Smooth Mover targets breakouts at the source and encourages cell turnover for faster recovery.
While not a perfect fragrance dupe for Bum Bum cream, with notes of cucumber and woody sandalwood, this body wash is nothing to turn your nose up at.
Epzen Delicate Diva Sensitive Body Wash, $13 from Epzen
For those of us with sensitive skin concerns, scented products are usually something our skin finds an issue with. But now, with Epzen’s sensitive body wash, our showers can once again be filled with the sweet scent of coconut and vanilla.
