Prior to the well-known $19 strawberry being stocked at Erewhon, the luxurious Oishii omakase berries, celebrated for their velvety sweet taste and rich, luscious texture, were already available at Whole Foods Market in the United States.

Previously hard to find due to its seasonal availability near the Japanese Alps, this unique berry variety has now been successfully replicated indoors by New Jersey-based Oishii in a vertical farm, mimicking its specific environmental conditions. Now, food enthusiasts and skincare lovers can enjoy the allure of this popular fruit’s scent and skin-enhancing properties through Iota’s special edition, superfood-infused Oishii Berry+ Body Lotion. This lotion promises to keep your skin hydrated for a full 24 hours.

Top-rated chef Dominique Ansel, along with celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Chrissy Teigen, incorporate the visually appealing Oishii omakase strawberries in their culinary creations. Now, this berry takes center stage in Iota’s healthful body care partnership, which also includes a moisturizing body wash. The newly launched Iota x Oishii Berry+ Body Lotion, priced at $38, is rich in antioxidants, ellagic acid (renowned for minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles), and skin-brightening salicylic acid derived from non-GMO omakase strawberries. (A 4.2-ounce box containing approximately 11 omakase strawberries is available for $10.)

As a dedicated enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about this lotion that I’m currently smitten with! It’s packed with nourishing rambutan for firming, niacinimide to brighten and reduce redness, invigorating caffeine for tone and texture improvement, and beneficial prebiotics and postbiotics for maintaining a healthy skin microbiome – all as Iota claims. What’s more, Iota ensures that their products comply with EU standards, which means you won’t find over 1,400 potentially harmful substances in their formulations.

This special, limited-edition partnership between Iota and Oishii offers a body care set that includes a body wash priced at $32, packaged in an eco-friendly aluminum bottle. The duo of body wash and lotion is currently discounted by 15% and comes with a $10 Iota gift card if purchased together for just $68.

Feeling peckish? Delightful, non-GMO, pesticide-free strawberries from Oishii can be purchased online at a few retailers such as Instacart, Freshdirect, and Misfits Market.
