6 Best Bum Bum Cream Dupes, According to TikTokers
We know you’ve seen it: that distinctive round orange tub of cream that’s gone viral on TikTok. It’s the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (Dua Lipa swears by it), and while we love the yummy fragrance and rich texture, the $48 price tag can be steep for tight budgets, so we rounded up the best Bum Bum cream dupes that’ll give you the moisture, the scent, and will (we’re told) lift your bum like the OG.
While the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum cream would be a crowd favorite for its scent alone, (we’ve got some great smelling Le Labo dupes, too), this moisturizer sets itself apart from your average body butter, as it’s packed with guaraná, a Brazilian plant known to smooth and tighten the skin visibly. Cupuaçu butter and açaí oil are also included and melt into the skin to give off that distinctive glow.
We scoured the market for top-rated products with similar ingredients, took to TikTok to scope the viral favorites, and, of course, sniffed the scents to ensure we found the six best bum bum cream dupes that deserve a spot in your arsenal.

As much as we love the Sol de Janeiro version, this set may be taking the number one spot in our hearts (and showers). Not only does this under $30 duo come with the firming body butter that’s a serious ingredient dupe for the Sol de Janeiro version (guaraná and cupuaçu butter? Check!), but it also includes a sugar-infused body scrub that reviewers say is “to die for.” One reviewer says, “When they’re used together, it’s just *chefs kiss*” and we agree!
Not only does the packaging of this cream look like the high-end version, but its ingredient list does, too. Formulated with guaraná, cupuaçu, and açaí, plus the addition of ultra-moisturizing coconut oil, reviewers say it “soaks into the skin” and that it “makes your legs and arms feel smooth and silky.” While the scent may be a little more subtle than the Sol de Janeiro version, the moisturizing payoff and silky glow delivers.
The name of this cream says it all: your derriere (and anywhere else you choose to apply this smoothing and tightening cream) will look oh-so-divine after just a few applications. Scented with salted caramel and vanilla, two of the signature notes in the Sol de Janeiro cream, reviewers say it smells “pleasant but not overpowering.” The smoothing ingredient in this cream is volufiline, a plant extract used to simulate a lipo-filling effect that’ll plump and smooth the skin. We also love the push-top dispenser that ensures you get the perfect amount each time you reach to apply this smooth, non-greasy moisturizer.
If you love the smoothing glow of the Sol de Janiero Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, but prefer your scents a little more fruity than vanilla, this cream is the one for you. It's on the thick side, so you only need a small amount to get results. Wheat protein fills in lines and bumps, while watermelon extract provides a fruity fragrance and helps to fade discoloration. Reviewers say they “see a difference” after “only a few weeks” of using this cream that will “keep your skin hydrated all day.”
The Sol de Janeiro cream gets a holiday makeover with this dupe. A limited edition of the award-winning cream in a holiday-inspired vanilla cookie scent, this cream is more about deep hydration than booty lifting. That being said, the intense moisturization provided by the colloidal oatmeal ingredient will definitely plump your skin and is an excellent choice for anyone with sensitive skin. Reviewers say that after using this moisturizer, “miracles happened,” so consider us impressed.
If the moisturizing benefits of the Sol de Janeiro cream are part of what drew your attention, this body butter is made with five different oils (Pistachio, Almond, Shea, Cocoa butter, and Coconut) that’ll keep you feeling soft and silky all day long. Reviewers say they’ve bought multiple tubs of this cream (some even say they’re on their 5th or 6th) and keep returning for its “divine” texture and thickness. This body butter is a whipped formula, so it's slightly lighter-weight than the Brazilian version but will be a hit if you want airy moisture with a similar sweet vanilla scent.
