2006: Production Plant
The need to take ownership and full responsibility led to one of the hardest decisions: that of creating our own Production Plant!
After years of planning, looking for the best equipment and securing the funds, finally in 2006, 10 years after the Company was born, we were able to produce our own products!
With top quality in mind, our Production Facility competes with the best international standards:
ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) and ISO 22716 (Good Manufacturing Practices -GMPs- for Cosmetics) certified.
Water Purification Facility:
In the heart of our Production Facility there is a state-of-the-art Water Purification Facility that produces the ultra-purified water used in all our products.
Our zero-waste Purified Water System combines Reverse Osmosis and Deionization purification methods, providing a continuous flow. To guarantee our high water quality we follow an extended control plan, checking 10 different sampling points of the flow daily. Our KORRES Water, with conductivity below 1μS, is almost 5x more pure than EU Pharmaceutical Standards and 200x more pure than the bottled water we drink!
An Insider Look at Korres Origins & Values
Brainchild of husband-and-wife team Georgios and Lena Korres, this pioneering Greek brand burst onto the beauty scene in 1996 with their nourishing, potent plant-powered formulas.
Inspired by the country‘s ancient homeopathic remedies, Korres harnesses ingredients harvested in the wilds of Greece like:
- Yogurt
- Wild roses
- Pomegranates
- Saffron
What began as a humble homeopathic pharmacy line in Athens grew into a trailblazing natural beauty empire through innovative product development, global distribution and a steadfast commitment to core values:
Clean formulas – No parabens, sulfates, silicones, mineral oils
Rigorous testing – Products backed by university studies and dermatology clinics
Sustainability – Solar facilities, thoughtfully packaged items with recycled materials
Sensory pleasure – Luxe textures, evocative Mediterranean scents and stunning colors
I admire brands taking skincare seriously while sparking joy. Korres delivers both in spades.
2008: Soil Lab & Local Farmers
Our Soil Lab is focusing on people and their land, the communities and the ingredients they nourish. A series of decisions led by our minds and hearts, showed us the way.
The first decision was to focus on the most powerful Greek herbs, including the wealth of endemic species that grow only in Greece and nowhere else on the planet. In cooperation with the Agricultural University of Athens we identified the best locations for the cultivation of our herbs based on soil and micro-climate conditions.
The second decision was to never collect herbs from wild nature but to cultivate them instead, in order to protect endangered species.
The third decision was not to compete with local farmers by creating our own farms but to support local communities and work closely with them on organic farming.
The KORRES Soil Lab is a network of 5 Agricultural Unions around Greece, 30 local micro-farmers, and a total of over 1,000 families.
They provide us with amazing superior quality organic herbs, and we secure a steady income for them, mostly needed in the remote and less developed areas of our country.
