Bare Body Collection™ products are handmade by Martha Choy in her studio apartment in New York.

Sept. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- An extensive menu of Bare Body Butters, most probably the broadest selection of body butters under one label available anywhere, has been launched by the Bare Body Collection™ from Martha’s Closet™.  Ranging in variety from soft floral and crisp spice notes to soothing herb and garden inspired balms, the assortment of 30 individually formulated Bare Body Butters is now available exclusively at www.BareBodyCollection.com.   Novelties in the line include Chocolate Dream Body Butter, and a Beard Blaster shaving cream that leaves skin as smooth as a baby’s.  Both are proving to be early favorites with both sexes.
Bare Body Butter is a traditional beeswax and borax pomade or ointment.  It is more than 98% natural and highly emollient with more than 50% oil content.
With origins historically dating back 100 years, ‘body butter’ type creams were then referred to as ‘night’ cream or ‘waterless’ creams in Eastern Europe.  Taking a modern spin on that notion, the BARE Body Collection’s full menu of Bare Body Butters includes the following:

•   Illusion™ - An alluring and sensual floral; exotic aromas of jasmine and lotus blossom help evoke a romantic mood and are known to be great stress relievers.
•   Black Magic™ - A color explosion of fruits opens the scent including tropical mango, wild strawberry and ruby red grapefruit. Vintage floral with a rock n' roll edge brings a dark sexiness including black freesia. This contrast of floral merges into a background of hot skin musk, mandarin and mint with masculine notes of woods, incense and warm soulful amber - it is a delicious and very addictive fragrance statement.
•   Sophistication - Fragrance notes: cloves, vetiver, patchouli and rosemary, sexy and cool.
•   Extreme™ - The fragrance features three contrasting harmonies: a bubbling, explosive surface; and sensual textured depths.  Citrus notes of mandarin orange zest, enhanced with bergamot, yuzu and sweet orange, give way to an astringent spice combination of camphor, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg and saffron. These are freshened with blue water lily which adds an ozone-like note with a black incense, ambergris, benzoin and papyrus wood essence feature in the deep, woody dry-down.
•   Bare-ly Legal™ - White Gardenia, Tuberose, Taratahi Lilac, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Black Coconut
