What were these discontinued bath & shower products?

In 2000-2001 I used a line of bath & shower products that had sort of whimsical packaging & scents, and a brand name I cannot for the life of me remember. It was discontinued not long after that. The only specific product I recall is a berry(?)-scented body wash foam dispensed from a mousse can. They were sold in drugstores in San Jose, CA but the brand might have been Canadian? I'm 100% certain it's not Lush, Bath & Body Works, Body Shop, Bliss, or got2b. But what was it??
The name might have had a b in it and might have been similar to a more well-known brand? And the specific product names were slightly edgy or silly.

Calgon was popular at the time, but maybe not whimsical.

I know you said it's not Bath and Body Works but is it possibly Bath and Body Works "Art Stuff" line? I only ask because in the branding, the B&BW logo is less prominent. They had a foam body wash that looks to match your description. Sorry if you've already seen this and it's not correct.

Response by poster: It's not any of these so far!
Nor is it Dirty Girl, which I found and definitely used at the time but is not what I'm looking for.
The packaging was really colorful, almost like kids' products except more aimed at teens/young adults than children.
I thought I'd had an epiphany and remembered it was called Body @ Best, but do you know how impossible that is to search for to confirm?? So if anyone remembers the existence of Body@Best/Body @ Best, that might confirm that I didn't make that name up entirely, and I could be satisfied that's what I'm remembering!
