Delightful designs and accessible prices make them a joy to use daily
The founder of KORRES NATURAL PRODUCTS, pharmacist George Korres, began his career in 1989 at one of Greece's oldest homeopathic pharmacies.
Homeopathy is a natural therapy based on the principle that 'that which causes symptoms can also cure them.' It uses herbs and plants to liberate the mind and cells, restoring health from the body's core.
George Korres purchased this homeopathic pharmacy and established KORRES NATURAL PRODUCTS in 1996. He then collaborated with Lena, a chemical engineer and his future wife, to develop products. Building on their expertise with over 3,000 herbal homeopathic remedies (recipes), they expanded into cosmetics, and the Korres pharmacy gradually gained recognition.
The very first skincare product developed, the 'Wild Rose 24h Moisturizing Cream,' remains beloved worldwide to this day.
What KORRES NATURAL PRODUCTS Values
KORRES products minimize the use of synthetic chemicals, incorporating abundant essences from nature's bounty. This is underpinned by daily research and development focused on discovering the efficacy of herbal and plant-based ingredients in cosmetics. They actively pursue the potential of herbs and plants, engaging in joint research with the University of Athens to explore the utilization of Greece's botanical diversity.
Ingredients such as mineral oil, silicones, parabens, propylene glycol, and synthetic colorants are avoided. Instead, products undergo repeated testing using human volunteers and cell cultures, rather than animal testing.
KORRES NATURAL PRODUCTS' body care line features 5% organic distilled water from marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) and everlasting (Helichrysum arenarium), certified by ECOCERT. With regenerative and antioxidant properties, it reduces skin irritation and leaves the skin smooth.
The 'KORRES Basil Lemon Shower Gel' offers a refreshing scent of basil and lemon, staples in Greek gardens, to invigorate body and mind. Aloe extract provides hydration, while wheat protein protects the skin. This creamy lathering shower gel leaves skin feeling moisturized even after rinsing.
