Formulation Deep Dive

The Delícia Drench Body Butter by Sol de Janeiro is engineered as a high-performance O/W (oil-in-water) emulsion designed for intensive barrier repair and microbiome support. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated lipid phase of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter and Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, structured with Ethylhexyl Palmitate and plant-based esters like Lauryl Laurate and Myristyl Myristate to ensure a rich, whipped texture with a controlled, non-greasy dry-down. Active performance is driven by a synergistic blend of Platonia Insignis (Bacuri) Seed Butter and Theobroma Grandiflorum (Cupuaçu) Seed Butter for essential fatty acid replenishment, while Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) provides deep-reaching humectancy. This is further enhanced by the Brazilian Soothing Complex—a technical combination of Copaifera Officinalis (Balsam Copaiba) Resin and Passiflora Edulis (Passionflower) Seed Oil to modulate skin stress—and Lactobacillus/Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Ferment Filtrate to optimize the epidermal microbiome. The formula is stabilized via a robust network of Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, and Carbomer, preserved through a clean-label system of Ethylhexylglycerin and Phenoxyethanol.
