Sol de Janeiro has become known for its famous Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, known for its skin-firming and tightening properties. The brand gained popularity in 2023, with 90% of its growth attributed to organic social promotion. However, the cream can be expensive at $48 for an 8-ounce tub, making it a luxury purchase for many consumers.

For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, Costco offers a two-pack of 6-ounce Brazilian body butter creams from the brand Nutrius for $22. Many have compared this product to the Bum Bum Cream due to similar packaging and shared ingredients like cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, acai oil, and guarana extract. I decided to purchase both products to see how they compare in terms of quality and effectiveness.
