Fans of Sol de Janeiro have been begging for the return of Coco Cabana aka Cheirosa ’39 and maybe we’ll be getting a dupe of it with the new Trader Joe’s Cacay Oil Body Butter? Because hey, Trader Joe’s is no stranger to duping popular beauty items right? We got their Brazil Nut Body Butter, Body Wash, Body Scrub, Body Oil and more mimicking our beloved Cheirosa ’62 why can’t we have a Cheirosa ’39 dupe from them especially since Sol de Janeiro isn’t bringing it back anytime soon!
This is extremely controversial to say but I actually don’t like Cheirosa ’39. I recall it smelling very nutty with a bit of coconut thrown into the mix. But there are a good deal of people out there that absolutely adore it and hope it returns one day! And maybe Trader Joe’s knows that and is serving up this Cacay Oil Body Butter to quench the thirst of the masses who really want it back!
But nope, it’s actually a dupe of something else…!
I haven’t smelled Trader Joe’s Cacay Oil Body Butter yet but according to the brand’s website this is scented with notes of pink dragonfruit and jasmine fragrance! So that packaging may throw you for a loop and make you think of Coco Cabana but it’s appears TJs is coming for Cheirosa ’68 aka BR540’s little cousin!
This new body cream contains coconut oil and shea butter as well as vegan-sourced collagen and squalane, as well as moisturizing Cacay Oil. And hey, ’68 has cacay oil too! What a kawinkidink! As always TJ prices are affordable so you’re getting 8 oz of body cream for $6.99 versus Sol de Janeiro’s price of $48 for the same size! Gotta love a bargain!
I do think that Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut fragrance is lovely and I get into the frenzy of purchasing whatever they scent with it. However, I don’t think it’s a perfect dupe of Sol de Janeiro’s version so, I’m curious what this smells like. I suspect they
Trader Joe’s Cacay Oil Body Butter hits stores soon for a limited time.
