History

George Korres studied pharmaceutical science at the University of Athens before going on to run Greece’s oldest homeopathic pharmacy. Over the years, he became an expert in botanicals and herbal remedies and in 1996, launched his own line of skincare products.

Philosophy

Natural and luxurious. The foundation of Korres is its research and development team, a group of chemical engineers, biologists, botanists, and scientists that works to develop hard-working, luxe-feeling formulas from natural ingredients. They even have a team of “Plant Hunters” that scour Greece and the rest of the world for plants that can be used in products.

Birchbox extra

In the world of greenwashing, Korres is a shining example of corporate transparency — they are completely upfront about the ingredients they use (and don’t use), and include a “Fact Panel” on every product.
