Everyone is obsessed with the new Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Shower Oil, and if you’ve been on TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen it all over your feed. With its ultra-nourishing formula and promise of silky, hydrated skin, it’s already creating serious buzz—especially for those with dry, thirsty skin.

As a longtime lover of the iconic Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, I knew I couldn’t ignore this launch. My feed was practically begging me to try it. And as someone who lives for testing new skincare and spilling the tea, I had to know, does this body oil actually live up to the hype?

Sol de Janeiro delicia drench shower oil

Drench Shower Oil is basically a hydrating potion in a bottle. It starts off as an oil but the moment it hits water, it transforms into a creamy milky texture. It’s designed to hydrate dry skin while cleansing, so you’re not left with that tight and stripped feeling. Instead, it keeps your skin moisturized and even gives a little love to your skin’s natural microbiome.

You can grab it in two sizes: 385ml for $26 or a cute little 90ml for $10 (perfect for testing it out or tossing in your travel bag). let’s talk about the scent, because it’s something, it has that iconic Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 fragrance. Sweet, vanilla, but not the too much kind of sweet. This one’s got a warm, woody twist with sandalwood notes, and honestly, it just smells amazing.

Top notes: Velvet Plum, Sugared Violet
Mid notes: Vanilla Orchid, Whipped Amber
Dry notes: Sheer Sandalwood, Fresh Vetiver

How to use delicia drench shower oil?

Get your skin nice and wet first. Then, take some of the oil and start massaging it in, don’t rush, let it do its thing. As you work it into your skin, you’ll notice it transforming from a rich oil into a light, low-lather foam. Give it a few moments to really sink in, then rinse it off.

Main ingredients are:

Bacuri Butter – locks in moisture for deep hydration.

Prebiotic Hibiscus – To support the skin’s microbiome

Brazilian Oil Blend – A mix of Brazil nut, coconut, açai, sunflower seed, and andiroba seed oils

Glycerin (50% of the formula!) – A humectant that draws moisture

How does it feel on skin?

The first time I slathered this on, I kid you not, my legs and arms instantly sprouted white flakes, like my skin had just shed its past life. But the moment it sank in, it felt so satisfying. It absorbed so fast, it was like my skin had been parched for centuries and finally got real hydration. Now, before you judge, I do take care of myself. I’m religious about my body lotions but let’s be real, you can hydrate all you want, but you can’t rewrite your genetics. This body oil had me sold on its hydration game from the very first drop.

My skin basically inhaled it the second I applied it. I squeezed out a little extra and went in for round two, thanks to my dry skin, and sadly, that was a big mistake that I made. A mistake I could have avoided. But here we are. A little is more than enough to go. See, I was expecting some real lather after emulsification. You know, that rich, foamy, “ah yes, this is soap’ kind of moment?

Delicia drench shower oil is not out here trying to prove anything with a crazy, fluffy lather that leaves your skin feeling tight and desperate for moisture. It lathers just enough, mild, gentle, and just right for dry skin. Because let’s be real, the last thing thirsty skin needs is a shower gel that acts like a dish soap bar. This one cleanses without stripping your skin and leaves it baby soft.

What skin type is it best for?

While anyone can use it, normal, dry, even combination skin, it’s mainly a dream come true for dry skin. If your skin feels tight, flaky, or just straight-up thirsty, this shower oil will drench it in hydration. But if you’re team oily skin and love that squeaky clean post-shower feel, this might not be your jam since it leaves a moisturized finish instead of that scrubbed-clean vibe.

Does it replace body lotion?

Okay, I’ve seen people say this completely replaced their body lotion, that’s how hydrating it is. But for me? Not quite. My skin leans towards super dry, like skip one day of moisturizer and I’m instantly regretting my life choices kind of dry. So while this shower oil gives a solid boost of hydration, I still need extra moisturizing products, especially in winter. But if your skin isn’t Sahara-level dry, there’s a real chance this could let you skip body lotion altogether, which means one less product to buy and apply.

Longevity & value for money

Will this bottle last forever? No. But will it last a fair amount of time even if you shower daily? Yes! The 385ml size will keep you going for a while, especially since you don’t need a ton per use. And if this is replacing your body lotion, then yes you will be saving some bucks. The 90ml size is cute for travel or testing, but let’s be real, if you love it, you’re gonna want the big bottle.

Final verdict

Sol de Janeiro Shower Body Oil is something I would buy again and again. It is like a favorite you just have to keep stocked. Heaven-sent for my dry skin. And after all, there’s just something about having a delicious-smelling body product waiting for you that turns a regular shower into a full-on spa moment. Like, suddenly, it’s not just about getting clean, it’s about the vibes. And knowing this oil-to-milk shower oil is sitting in my bathroom is definitely an instant serotonin boost. That post-shower mellow feeling is dangerously good. Its more like the kind where you just want to wrap yourself in a fluffy robe, do absolutely nothing, and just exist in your soft, delicious-smelling skin.

Sure, anyone can use it, but if you’ve got dry skin, you need this. It doesn’t just rescue your poor and neglected legs and arms, making them soft but it also turns your shower experience into a full on experiment.
