Where can I buy Sol de Janeiro in Canada?

Canadian shoppers have three main authorized channels for Sol de Janeiro products, each with its own strengths and limitations. The brand’s official Help Center international shipping page confirms that Sephora and Walmart are approved partners, and the official website still lists them even though it no longer ships north of the border.

Official website (soldejaneiro.com)

  • The brand’s own site ships only within the United States and its territories (Sol de Janeiro Help Center shipping policy).
  • Previously, international shipping to Canada was offered with delivery in 7–10 business days (Sol de Janeiro Blog shipping details).
  • Canadians can still use the site by shipping to a US address provided by a freight forwarder.
Bottom line: Canadian buyers who want the full US product line must use a freight forwarder — but that adds cost and uncertainty around duties.

Sephora Canada (online and in-store)

  • Sephora Canada stocks Sol de Janeiro products both in physical stores and on its e‑commerce platform (Sephora Canada Sol de Janeiro page).
  • Popular items like Cheirosa 62 and Cheirosa 40 perfume mists are priced between $35 and $53 CAD.
  • Standard delivery takes 2–5 business days, and Beauty Insider members earn points on every purchase.

Walmart Canada (online and selected stores)

  • Walmart Canada carries Sol de Janeiro products on its website, with in-store availability varying by location (Sol de Janeiro Authorized Retailers list).
  • Prices are often competitive with Sephora, and Rollback deals can drop them further.
  • Free store pickup is available for many items.

Authorized retailer locator

  • Sol de Janeiro publishes an up‑to‑date list of authorized retailers on its website (Sol de Janeiro Official Site).
  • Beyond Sephora and Walmart, the list includes a few Canadian boutiques and international e‑tailers that ship worldwide.
  • The brand warns that products from unapproved sellers may be counterfeit or tampered with (Sol de Janeiro Help Center international shipping page).

The pattern: domestic retailers offer speed and reliability, while the official site requires a forwarder for full access.

Bottom line: Canadian buyers should stick to Sephora or Walmart for instant availability. For the full product range including limited editions, a freight forwarder is the only way — but it adds cost and uncertainty around duties.

Does the Sol de Janeiro website ship to Canada?

Not anymore. The official policy as of 2025 states that Sol de Janeiro only ships within the United States, including AK, HI, PR, and other US territories (Sol de Janeiro Help Center shipping policy). This change reversed the previous policy where Canada was included in international shipping.

International shipping policy

  • Sol de Janeiro partners with several international e‑tailers — Cult Beauty, LookFantastic, and Mecca — that ship globally (Sol de Janeiro Help Center international shipping page).
  • These partners may stock a different assortment than the US site.
  • The brand does not ship to Canada directly from its own warehouse.

Shipping costs and duties

  • If you use a freight forwarder like Global Shopaholics freight forwarding service, shipping costs include the forwarder’s fee plus courier charges (DHL, FedEx, UPS).
  • Duties and taxes are assessed upon import into Canada — they are not included in the forwarder’s price and can add 15–25% to the total.
  • For returns, the brand does not accept shipments from Canada; you’d need to send items back to a US address at your own cost.

Shipping time estimates

  • Orders from the official site within the US are processed in 1–3 business days and delivered in 7–10 business days (Sol de Janeiro Blog shipping details).
  • Add 3–5 days for the freight forwarder to consolidate and ship to Canada.
  • Total window from order to doorstep: roughly 10–15 business days.
Why this matters

Canadian shoppers now face a clear trade‑off: pay more for a freight forwarder to access the full US product line, or limit yourself to the domestic retailer selection. Neither option is perfect, but one is far cheaper.

Does Walmart have Sol de Janeiro?

Yes — Walmart Canada is an authorized retailer for Sol de Janeiro, though the range may be narrower than what Sephora offers.

Walmart Canada online availability

  • Walmart Canada’s website carries several Sol de Janeiro fragrances and body products (Sol de Janeiro Authorized Retailers list).
  • Stock fluctuates; bestsellers like Cheirosa 62 are usually available.
  • Free next‑day pickup is an option in most regions.

In-store availability by location

  • Walmart does not list store‑level inventory on its website publicly, so call your local store before visiting.
  • Major urban stores in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal are more likely to stock the brand.
  • Rural stores may not carry it at all.

Pricing compared to other retailers

  • Prices at Walmart Canada are generally within a dollar or two of Sephora’s for the same product.
  • Walmart’s Rollback promotions can make Sol de Janeiro items 10–15% cheaper than the official site’s US MSRP.
  • No loyalty program, but no membership required either.

The catch: Walmart’s limited selection may not satisfy fans seeking the full Sol de Janeiro catalog.

Bottom line: Walmart Canada is a reliable second source for popular Sol de Janeiro sprays. The trade‑off is limited variety compared to Sephora, but prices are competitive — especially during Rollback events.

Is Sol de Janeiro only at Sephora?

No — though Sephora was the first major Canadian retailer to carry the brand back in 2015, Sol de Janeiro has since expanded distribution.

Other official retailers

  • Walmart Canada is an authorized partner (Sol de Janeiro Authorized Retailers list).
  • International e‑tailers like Cult Beauty and LookFantastic ship to Canada and are listed on the brand’s official help page.
  • Third‑party Canadian boutiques such as Loja Glamourosa Canada Sol de Janeiro store also sell authentic products with a 60‑day return policy.

Online exclusivity

  • Sephora carries the widest assortment in Canada, including limited‑edition sets.
  • Walmart’s online selection is smaller but growing.
  • The official US site has the full range, but you need a US address to buy from it.

Why people think it’s Sephora‑only

  • Sephora was the exclusive Canadian retailer for Sol de Janeiro’s first few years after launch.
  • Marketing materials and influencer partnerships heavily featured Sephora during that period.
  • The brand’s own social media still directs Canadian followers to Sephora first.
The catch

While Sephora isn’t the only option, it remains the best one for Canadian buyers who want the full product catalog without the hassle and cost of cross‑border shipping.

How long does Sol de Janeiro take to ship to Canada?

Delivery times vary significantly depending on the channel you choose. Here’s a breakdown:

Retailer Standard Delivery Time Notes
Sephora Canada 2–5 business days Free over $50 CAD; store pickup available
Walmart Canada 2–5 business days Free pickup; free shipping over $35
Official site via freight forwarder 10–15 business days total 7–10 days to US forwarder, then 3–5 to Canada
Third-party boutiques (e.g., Loja Glamourosa) 3–7 business days Based within Canada; 60‑day returns

The pattern is clear: domestic retailers are faster and cheaper. Freight forwarders only make sense if you need a product that isn’t available at Sephora or Walmart.

Watch out

Orders from the official site via a forwarder can be delayed by customs, add unexpected duties, and complicate returns — the brand’s return policy does not cover items shipped outside the US (Sol de Janeiro Help Center international shipping page).

“All Sol de Janeiro orders are processed and shipped within 1–3 business days, with standard delivery in 7–10 business days for US destinations.”

— Sol de Janeiro Blog on shipping times (Sol de Janeiro Official Blog shipping details)

“The company does not guarantee authenticity, condition, or safety of products bought from unauthorized retailers. Always purchase from an authorized partner.”

— Sol de Janeiro Help Center on buying from third parties (Sol de Janeiro Help Center international shipping page)

The implication for Canadian shoppers: speed and security are on the side of domestic retailers. If you need something exclusive, be prepared for a longer wait and additional costs.

Confirmed facts

  • Sol de Janeiro no longer ships to Canada directly — US only (Sol de Janeiro Help Center shipping policy)
  • Sephora Canada and Walmart Canada are authorized retailers (Sol de Janeiro Authorized Retailers list)
  • Freight forwarders like Global Shopaholics offer a workaround (Global Shopaholics Blog freight forwarding guide)

What’s unclear

  • Exact duties for orders via freight forwarders
  • Walmart’s in‑store stock by location
  • Whether direct shipping to Canada will resume

For Canadian Sol de Janeiro fans, the smartest path is clear: shop from Sephora or Walmart for reliable stock and standard shipping, or use a freight forwarder if you need a specific product not available in Canada. The choice is between convenience and range — and most buyers will find that convenience wins.

What is the return policy for Sol de Janeiro purchases in Canada?
