The beauty guru looked excited to share her “honest” opinion on an item she bought from Trader Joe’s.

“This is a 100% a dupe for this,” she said.

She held up Trader Joe’s Brazil Nut body wash alongside Sol de Janeiro’s Bom Dia Bright Clarifying AHA BHA body wash.

“These have the exact same scent, it’s almost identical,” she said.

“It’s the same vibe.

“It’s the same tropical fruity type of fragrance.”

She said Trader Joe’s $5.99 product lasts longer and doesn’t leave skin feeling dry.

She then held up Sol de Janeiro’s body wash, which cost $26 from Sephora.

Despite having a 4.6-star rating from customers, Khaina shared a flaw that she’d experienced. 

“Even though this has AHAs and BHAs in it, honestly it didn’t do anything for my keratosis pilaris or my body acne,” she said. 

“All it really did was smell delicious, which is why I loved it but it was drying.”

Kahina said Trader Joe’s body wash has a “milky, creamy” texture, with coconut oil and shea butter to help hydrate the skin.

She gushed that it doesn’t need to be used alongside a body oil whereas Sol de Janeiro’s option does.

“This is moisturizing enough on its own,” she said holding up the TJ buy.

“And honestly the smell is almost the same and it lasts just as long on your body, so get you one of these.”

Many viewers liked the video and took to the comment section saying they wanted to compare the items for themselves.

“I lowkey want this,” one person wrote.

“The lather is amazing on the TJ one too!” another said.

Many studies focus on eating Brazil nuts rather than the topical application of the oil.

However, the nuts are nutrient-rich with fatty acids, antioxidants, and minerals, which may be beneficial for the skin and hair.
