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.
2009: Extraction Lab
In our early years in the business, we were shocked to discover that we were not able to utilize the amazing Greek herbs in our formulations because there were no extraction-processing units in Greece!
We would have to export the herbs and then import the herbal extracts. So we set our minds on developing our own exemplary Extraction Lab & Facility, in-house.
We partnered with the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Department of Pharmacy, Section of Pharmacognosy & Natural Products Chemistry, to design a fully green, clean, and zero-waste Extraction Lab. We only use natural solvents and processing techniques that help maintain the integrity of all precious active ingredients of our extracts and oils. After the extraction, all solid naturally-processed waste ends back into the farmers to be used as fertilizer. A Full Circle inside the bigger Circle!
Customer Reviews Agree: This Greek Import Delivers!
Searching "Korres reviews" shows me I‘m not their only unconditional fan. Across the internet, people proudly proclaim love for these Greek goodies crafted from yogurt, roses, saffron and more!
On Influenster, skincare bloggers and everyday users alike praise the balanced hydration of the Pomegranate Balancing Gel-Cream Moisturizer:
"Refreshing gel moisturizer, perfect for oily/combo skin that needs hydration without heaviness or sheen. Absorbs quickly, light pleasant scent."
Sephora shoppers award the popular Wild Rose Brightening Facial a shining 4.4 stars:
"Literally after one use my skin was brighter and more smooth, plus it has actual rose petals in it which makes me so happy! I have sensitive skin and other exfoliators made it red and stung."
And Amazon reviewers rave about the hero Greek Yogurt Foaming Cream Cleanser too:
"My face feels clean and fresh without feeling dry or tight. And a little goes a long way, so even though it‘s not super cheap, I don‘t need to slather it on for it to be effective."
Sure, a few people report lackluster results or limited shade ranges with complexion makeup. But overall, genuine Korres reviews highlight gentle, effective formulas preferred by seasoned beauty junkies and newbies alike.
I‘ll cheers to that! 🥂 This beloved brand keeps winning over waves of skincare fans.
2004: Molecular Lab
Primary Research is in our DNA. It all started with the homeopathic remedies in our pharmacy.
Today, KORRES is a proud protagonist in primary research around natural ingredients and actives in the EU, having contributed to major new discoveries.
Our Molecular Lab scientists partner with the highest-profile academic and research institutes in dedicated consortiums to deliver thorough research goals. The basic idea is to discover the most powerful ingredients in nature and utilize them for common good.
A milestone initiative that pushed the frontiers of knowledge of natural products, has been a global 4-year research study of over 3,600 natural extracts for their antioxidant, anti-aging and sun protection properties. As a result of dedication to primary research, KORRES has introduced 7 new ingredients in the WINCI, the global INCI directory for cosmetics! Our Black Pine and White Pine extracts are two of these ingredients, delivering amazing, visible benefits.
1996: The Company
Lena Philippou was the first to join the newborn Company, fresh out of the University as a Chemical Engineer.
“I was one of very few girls at the time that chose to go to Engineering school! My mind just works that way, I am all about analytical thinking and problem-solving. That does not mean I knew what I wanted to do after my studies! Because apart from being a linear thinker, I am a passionate person. I love nature and all things natural, and above all, I am a Greek soul. I am simply in love with Greece. Walking into the original Korres pharmacy, I instantly knew I wanted to be part of this world. All aspects of my personality were matching! And I saw a purpose! Natural products back in 1996 were all brown, boring and simplistic. I set my mind on combining nature and science to create the most effective natural products out there! And made in Greece! All it takes is dream, work, and a little love.”
