Boticário Ma Chérie Deodorant Body Lotion – Soft Floral Layering – 6.76 fl oz (200 ml)
- Gives the body everyday moisture in a light lotion that absorbs quickly.
- Helps skin feel soft, supple and comfortable rather than greasy.
- Carries the Ma Chérie fragrance — lavender, bergamot and musk — on the skin after bathing.
- Offers a giftable, limited-edition version of a 1997 O Boticário classic.
This is for anyone who wants a light, everyday body moisturizer with a soft floral scent, and for O Boticário fans looking for the nostalgic Ma Chérie fragrance — the brand presents it as a gift for children from 12 years of age. It is not for people who prefer fragrance-free skincare or who react to declared fragrance allergens (alpha-isomethyl ionone, citronellol, coumarin, geraniol, limonene, linalool), it is not meant for broken or irritated skin, and despite the Brazilian "deodorant lotion" name it is not an antiperspirant and contains no antiperspirant actives.

- 200 ml (6.76 fl oz) squeeze tube with a flip-top cap, limited edition.
- Key ingredients: sorbitol, isopropyl palmitate, glyceryl stearate, cetyl alcohol and caprylyl glycol.
- Made in Brazil by O Boticário, the country's largest beauty franchise, founded in Curitiba in 1977.
- Delicate, lightweight texture that spreads easily and absorbs quickly.
- Soft floral scent: lavender opening, fresh bergamot, musk base; dermatologically tested as stated on the label.
The Brazilian label keeps it simple: apply over the body whenever you feel like it, and reapply if needed. In practice, use it on clean, dry skin — right after a bath or shower is the easiest moment — squeeze a small amount into your palm and massage it over the body in upward circular movements until it is fully absorbed. Reapply during the day whenever you want to refresh the scent on your skin.
- Format: a 200 ml squeeze tube with a pink flip-top cap; the crayon-style artwork is part of the limited edition and the pack is described by the brand as more sustainable than the original.
- Age: O Boticário presents it as a gift for children from 12 years of age; it is a fragranced cosmetic, so adult supervision and a patch test make sense.
- Practical: the lotion is white with no added colorant, so it is unlikely to stain light fabrics, but let it absorb before dressing; for external use only, keep it away from the eyes and stop using it if irritation appears.
The formula follows a classic body-lotion architecture. A water base carries sorbitol, the humectant that draws in and holds moisture, while isopropyl palmitate, cetyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate build the oil phase that gives slip, softens the skin surface and slows water loss. Polysorbate 60 and glyceryl stearate emulsify the two phases, the acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer thickens them and triethanolamine adjusts the pH so that gel network sets — which is where the delicate, fast-absorbing texture comes from. Phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol keep the emulsion preserved, disodium EDTA and citric acid stabilise it, and the parfum sits on top so the Ma Chérie scent stays perceptible on the skin once the lotion has absorbed.

Learn moreBoticário Ma Chérie Deodorant Body Lotion – 6.76 fl oz (200 ml) is a limited-edition Brazilian body lotion built around one of O Boticário's most loved fragrances, originally launched in 1997 and recreated faithfully for this comeback. It is made in Brazil by O Boticário, the country's largest beauty franchise.
The texture is delicate and lightweight: it spreads easily, absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable rather than greasy. Sorbitol and light emollients help skin hold on to moisture through the day.
Described in sensory terms, the fragrance opens on lavender, is brightened by a fresh bergamot facet and settles into a soft musk base. The colourful crayon-illustrated tube is part of the limited-edition artwork, and O Boticário presents Ma Chérie as a gift idea for children from 12 years of age.
Key Features:
- Limited-edition Brazilian icon: a 25-year-old O Boticário classic brought back with its 1997 fragrance and a more sustainable pack.
- Soft floral-musk scent: lavender in the opening, a fresh bergamot lift and a gentle musk base.
- Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture: a delicate emulsion that sinks in quickly, so you can dress right after applying.
- Generous 200 ml (6.76 fl oz) tube: a flip-top tube that is easy to squeeze and easy to travel with.
- Dermatologically tested: as stated on the Brazilian label.
- Vegan and cruelty-free: O Boticário does not test its products on animals and states that this item is vegan and carries its Cruelty Free seal.
- Transparent fragrance allergens: the ingredient list declares alpha-isomethyl ionone, citronellol, coumarin, geraniol, limonene and linalool.
How To Use
- Start with clean, dry skin — right after a bath or shower is the easiest moment.
- Squeeze a small amount of lotion into the palm of your hand.
- Massage over the body in upward circular movements until it is fully absorbed.
- Reapply during the day whenever you want to refresh the scent on your skin.
Expert Tip: apply while your skin is still slightly damp from the shower — the lotion spreads further, and the fragrance stays perceptible a little longer on warm areas such as the inner wrists and the nape of the neck.
Ingredients (Highlights)
- Sorbitol: a humectant that helps skin hold on to water, supporting a supple, comfortable feel.
- Isopropyl Palmitate: a light emollient that gives the lotion its silky slip and helps it absorb without a heavy film.
- Glyceryl Stearate: an emulsifier and emollient that keeps the water and oil phases stable while helping skin feel softened.
- Cetyl Alcohol: a fatty alcohol (not a drying alcohol) that thickens the emulsion and helps condition the skin surface.
- Caprylyl Glycol: a skin-conditioning humectant that also supports the preservative system of the formula.
- Parfum (the Ma Chérie accord): the fragrance itself — lavender, bergamot and musk — is the signature of the line.

O Boticário was founded in 1977 as a small compounding pharmacy in Curitiba, Paraná, and grew into the largest beauty franchise in Brazil, with thousands of stores across the country and a presence in dozens of markets worldwide. The company is certified cruelty-free and does not test its products on animals. Ma Chérie is one of its most nostalgic creations: launched 25 years ago, it marked the youth of a whole generation and returns here in a limited edition with packaging that is more sustainable than the original.
