A body shimmer that slides off the moment you sweat or swim isn't much use in an Australian summer. Meu Brilho is built differently — here's how our Illuminating Body Oil holds its glow through heat, humidity and water.

Why it stays put

Meu Brilho is a dry-touch oil that absorbs into the skin rather than sitting on top of it. Once it sets — about 90 seconds after applying — the finish is water-resistant, so it won't immediately wash away at the beach or pool, or streak when the day heats up.

How to apply for maximum hold

Apply to clean, dry or barely damp skin and give it a full minute or two to set before dressing or swimming. Press it into collarbones, shoulders, shins and forearms. The more thoroughly it's absorbed before water contact, the better it holds.

Beach and pool tips

Layer it over (not instead of) your sunscreen — sun protection always comes first, then glow on top once your SPF has absorbed. After a long swim, a quick re-press on the high points refreshes the sheen instantly.

Bronze or Pearl for summer?

Bronze is the summer favourite — it mimics a sun-warmed glow without the sun damage. Pearl keeps things cool and luminous for evenings. Both are in the Meu Brilho Duo. Built on squalane and meadowfoam, vegan, cruelty-free and Australian designed for our climate.
