Established in 2005 by Maria J. Pinto, the creative mind behind Industrial Strength Needles, naked was born from personal experience. Maria’s journey with harsh, chemical-laden skincare post-tattoo and piercing ignited her quest for gentler alternatives. Dedicated to formulating products free from parabens, synthetic dyes, and fragrances, Maria immersed herself in natural healing methods.
After rigorous research and experimentation, naked emerged—a testament to Maria’s commitment to purity and effectiveness. For nearly two decades, we’ve specialized in crafting skincare solutions tailored to the specific needs of piercers, tattoo artists, and aestheticians. Our formulations harness the power of nature’s finest ingredients, such as soothing aloe vera, revitalizing vitamin E, and healing essential oils.

Our owner drew from personal experiences with multiple tattoos and body piercings, struggling with harsh chemical-laden skincare products that didn’t support healing or provide ongoing nutrients. Determined to find a better alternative, she immersed herself in natural healing methods. Through extensive research, experimentation, and dedication to crafting pure, effective products, Naked Natural Alternative skincare was born.
Maria J Pinto is not only the founder and president of Naked Natural Alternative but also the visionary behind Industrial Strength LLC, the world’s leading manufacturer of body piercing needles. With over 29 years of dedication to the body piercing and tattoo community, Maria’s journey began when she recognized the need for natural alternatives in skincare to heal tattoos and body piercings.
Starting humbly in her family’s hypodermic needle manufacturing facility and later opening her own factory, Maria ventured into experimenting with small batches of Naked to create effective healing solutions for her tattoos. Her approach was hands-on and witty; when clients asked if her Naked products could be used on specific body parts, she’d humorously reply, “I’ll let you know in 2 days,” testing the products on herself first before confidently sharing them.
Her success was a labor of love, driven by her dedication to all-natural botanicals, clean products, and a “dream team” of supportive friends and family who willingly served as her test subjects—no animals were harmed in her quest for perfect skincare!
In 2022, Maria founded the non-profit House of Nipple, inspired by her close friend Mary Randles, to provide breast cancer survivors with 3D nipple and areola tattoos at no cost, aiming to make a meaningful impact in their lives.
Today, Maria continues her mission to see House of Nipple become a global phenomenon, empowering a “Nipple Army” of tattoo artists worldwide to transform lives and bring a final, triumphant touch to their challenging journey.

Breast cancer is a non-discriminatory disease that affects thousands annually. Helping cancer survivors is deeply personal to our president, as her best friend Mary Randles is a breast cancer survivor herself.
Naked Natural Alternative proudly partners with House of Nipple, a nonprofit that offers 3D nipple and areola tattoos to breast cancer survivors. We provide comprehensive aftercare and daily skincare routines to support HON clients in their healing journey after receiving these transformative tattoos.
Since naked’s inception, we’ve been humbled by the overwhelming response from our customers, who have shared testimonials of the healing effects and daily use benefits of our products.
Driven by our commitment to innovation and excellence, we’re continuously researching, developing, and expanding our product line. With several new innovations in development, we’re excited to embark on the next chapter of our journey and share even more transformative skincare solutions with you.
