| Verdict | The Bum Bum Cream's grown-up sister. Collagen amino acids + squalane + shea butter + buriti for a firming body cream that reads as skincare, not just scent. The Beija Flor (hummingbird) fragrance is lighter than Cheirosa 62 — almond + pistachio over jasmine. | Tracta is one of Brazil's more interesting drugstore brands — affordable, decent science, no marketing fluff. The Creme Hidratante Noturno is a genuinely minimal night cream: niacinamide for tone and barrier, glycerin for hydration, cetyl palmitate and dimethicone for occlusion, vitamin E for antioxidant work. R$45 ($9) for a fragrance-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free night cream that actually does what it claims. |
