Okay, so today I’m going to talk about my experience with the Sol de Janeiro SPF products. I’ve been seeing these everywhere lately, and with summer just around the corner, I figured it was time to give them a try.

First off, I went online to check out the different options. I noticed that they have a new line called Rio Radiance, and it all looked so pretty, especially with those notes of coconut milk. I mean, who doesn’t love that? They’ve got body sprays, lotions, and even oils, all with SPF 50, which is great. I decided to go with the Rio Radiance SPF 50 body spray and lotion. The spray seemed like it would be easy to apply, and the lotion I figured would be good for those days when I need extra hydration.
When my package arrived, I was immediately struck by the packaging. So colorful and fun! It just screams “summer”, you know? I couldn’t wait to try them out. I put it on and, oh my gosh, the smell! It’s this amazing, sweet, tropical scent that just makes you feel like you’re on vacation. Seriously, it’s addictive. They also have a perfume called Cheirosa ’68, which I might have to try next.
Applying the body spray was super easy. It’s a really fine mist, so it goes on evenly and doesn’t feel sticky at all. It actually gave my skin a nice, subtle glow, which I loved. The lotion was just as good. It’s lightweight but still really moisturizing, and it absorbed quickly without leaving any greasy residue.
I spent the whole day outside, walking around, and just enjoying the sunshine. I was a little worried about getting burned, especially since I’m pretty fair-skinned. But I reapplied the sunscreen every couple of hours, just like the instructions said. And guess what? No sunburn! I was so impressed. My skin felt soft and smooth all day, and I smelled amazing the entire time.
I also found out that Sol de Janeiro is pretty strict about what ingredients they use. They said that they don’t use over 100 cosmetic ingredients. Good for them. It’s important for our health and the environment, right?

Overall Thoughts
- Smell: 10/10. Seriously, the best-smelling sunscreen I’ve ever used.
- Texture: Lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly.
- Effectiveness: Kept me protected from the sun all day.
- Price: A little pricey, but worth it in my opinion.
So, would I recommend Sol de Janeiro’s SPF products? Absolutely! They’re effective, they smell amazing, and they make me feel good about what I’m putting on my skin. If you’re looking for a new sunscreen for the summer, definitely give these a try. You won’t regret it!
I’ll probably be picking up a few more of these for the rest of the summer. Maybe I’ll even try the body oil next. And with a 90-day return policy, there’s really no risk in trying them out, right?
Oh, and they’re having a 20% off sale right now, so it’s the perfect time to stock up!
I really do love these. If you’ve used any of Sol de Janeiro’s SPF products, let me know what you think in the comments!
