Formulation Deep Dive

The Delicia Drench Shower Oil by Sol de Janeiro is a surfactant-based oil-to-foam body cleanser designed to provide high-level lipid replenishment while maintaining a gentle cleansing profile. The base utilizes a high concentration of Glycerin as a primary humectant and carrier, paired with a mild amphoteric surfactant system featuring Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate to ensure non-stripping foam production. The formula’s active performance is driven by a lipid-rich complex of Platonia Insignis (Bacuri) Seed Butter and Copaifera Officinalis (Balsam Copaiba) Resin, which work synergistically with Passiflora Edulis (Passionflower) Seed Oil and Bertholletia Excelsa (Brazil Nut) Seed Oil to restore the epidermal barrier and prevent trans-epidermal water loss. Additionally, the inclusion of Lactobacillus/Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Ferment Filtrate (Prebiotic Hibiscus) provides biological support for the skin microbiome. The system is stabilized through the use of Hydroxyethylcellulose for rheology control and is preserved with a blend of Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin, supplemented by Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate as a chelating agent to maintain formula integrity.
