“I feel like I wore perfume when I didn’t”: this floral body lotion with sunny orchid hydrates the skin and envelops it in an irresistible fragrance

There are days when spreading rich cream on your body feels more like a chore than a fun time. Especially when temperatures rise and the skin demands hydration without that sometimes heavy feeling under clothing.

This body lotion takes a quite different direction from the generous care to which the brand has accustomed us.

Body Badalada 48, the Sol de Janeiro lotion that focuses on the water effect

The first particularity is found in the bottle: its ultra-light water-effect gel texture is designed to penetrate instantly. It leaves skin soft, fresh and comfortable without the heavy finish you may fear with some body creams.

Its formula contains multi-glycerin, used to help retain hydration, as well as guava leaf essence to reinforce that feeling of freshness.

Its use remains very simple: you can apply it generously all over the body after a shower or as soon as your skin seems dry. Its light finish makes it particularly suitable for hot periods, when putting on your clothes just after applying cream can quickly become unpleasant.

Cheirosa 48 brings its guava scent to this lotion

Sol de Janeiro obviously does not abandon what makes up a large part of the identity of its treatments: perfume. Body Badalada takes up the Cheirosa 48 fragrance with a fruity, floral and musky composition.

Guava nectar and coconut water open the scent before giving way to sunny orchid, lemon and wild orris. Pink musk and a cloud of vanilla then form the base notes.

If you already use the Cheirosa 48 Fragrance Mist, the brand recommends layering it on top of the lotion to prolong the intensity of this fragrance on the skin.

A generous 400 ml bottle sold for 26 euros

This is perhaps the detail that will raise a few eyebrows: Body Badalada Skin Refresh Water Lotion 48 is priced at 26 euros for 400 ml. A generous format that sticks well to a product intended to be applied all over the body, or even several times when the skin feels the need.

This lotion is therefore not intended to replace a very rich body cream. It plays another card: lightly moisturizing while providing a feeling of freshness and the recognizable scent of Cheirosa 48.

A positioning that could especially appeal to those who like Sol de Janeiro perfumes, but much less the sensation of a thick cream on the skin as soon as the thermometer starts to rise.
