Pour one out for the Coco Cabana Cream. Sol de Janeiro discontinued it back in 2023, and if you want a jar now, the internet wants $160 for one, which is roughly La Mer money for a coconut body cream. I reviewed this thing when it launched, fell hard, and then watched it vanish. So consider this both a eulogy and a map to what's still buyable. There's a happy ending, I promise.
What was the Sol de Janeiro Coco Cabana Cream?
For the uninitiated, and the grieving: Coco Cabana was Sol de Janeiro's lightweight answer to its own Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. Where Bum Bum is thick and caffeine-loaded, Coco Cabana was an oil-in-water gel-cream that sank in fast and left zero tack. The pitch was up to 72 hours of hydration from fermented sugar and coconut oil, with ginger root, sodium hyaluronate, and açaí along for the ride. As someone whose body is covered in hair, and whose patience for a ten-minute absorb time is zero, it was the rare body cream I reached for on purpose.
What did it smell like? (The real reason you're here)
The scent was the entire personality. Coco Cabana could have gone full piña colada and ruined everything. It didn't. It landed somewhere between freshly cracked young coconut and the foam on a vanilla latte, with a toasted praline note that stayed on the right side of dessert. Not cloying. Not sunscreen-coconut. The kind of smell that made strangers ask what you were wearing.
Is the Coco Cabana Cream discontinued?
Yes. Sol de Janeiro pulled the Coco Cabana Cream around 2023, and the brand now lists it on its own graveyard of products it no longer sells. The cream is gone for good. New jars only exist on resale, at prices that have lost the plot.
Here's the part that should stop the spiraling. The scent survived. Sol de Janeiro brought Coco Cabana back as the Brazilian Crush Cheirosa '39 Hair and Body Mist, and after a two-year exile it's back in stock at Sephora. Same warm coconut, tropical orchid, and toasted praline. You can't have the cream, but you can absolutely smell like 2019 again.
What to buy instead
If you're chasing the scent, the Cheirosa '39 Coco Cabana Mist is the official heir, and the closest thing to the real one, because it is the real one in spray form. It now comes in a larger size too, which the people demanded loudly and at length.
If you specifically want the body cream texture, brace yourself: there's no coconut cream in the current Sol de Janeiro lineup. The brand leans on Bum Bum (the Cheirosa 62 scent, vanilla and salted caramel) and the newer Beija Flor instead, and neither smells anything like Coco Cabana. Your best workaround is to layer a current Sol de Janeiro cream for the slip, then spritz the Cheirosa '39 mist over it for the full effect.

Frequently Asked Question
Yes. Sol de Janeiro discontinued the Coco Cabana Cream around 2023 and lists it among the products it no longer sells. New jars are resale-only now.
The brand never gave a tidy reason, which tracks. The scent stayed popular enough that they eventually revived it in mist form, so it was the cream format that got cut, not the fragrance.
Nothing replaced the cream directly. The scent returned as the Brazilian Crush Cheirosa '39 Hair and Body Mist, available again at Sephora.
Yes. Cheirosa '39 is the Coco Cabana scent: warm coconut, tropical orchid, toasted praline. Same fragrance, mist instead of cream.
For the scent, the Cheirosa '39 mist is the closest by a mile, since it's the original. Drugstore coconut lotions get you to the right zip code, but none nail the praline-coconut balance.
