The company was born out of Athen’s oldest homeeopathic pharmacy and according to the website the company uses herbs and natural ingredients. The company is working at providing a green ingredient glossary and the company says that they avoid synthetic compounds such as propylene glycol, ethanolamines, and parabens amongst many other. The greatest company mission is to invest in research and new technology as well as having a ongoing partnership with Athens University – the Pharmacology School – to continue exploring Greek flora attributes. Korres happens to be found World Wide – London, Beijing, Madrid, Barcelona and Shanghai and now online so it doesn’t matter where you live! There are over 500 products including makeup, skin care and body care and as a suncare line.
I was lucky enough to review some of their organic skin care products and I have to tell you – I’m in love! I tried the Materia Herba Toning Cleansing Foam and a little goes a long way. The foaming cleanser is very reasonablly priced and washed away my makeup and mascara with just one wash and my face wasn’t dry but felt firm. The website says they use a “certified organic hamamelis floral water’s and certified organic olive leaf” so the skin is left with fresh and glowing, protected fromm internal and external free radical damage. What I know is that the product works well.
I tried the pomegranate cleansing wipesand they’ve become my traveling life safer! The wipes quickly remove make-up, they are oil free and not only did I not break out the next day the wipes didn’t dry my skin out like other wipes I have tried in the past. They also smell wonderful and the website claims the pomegranate extract help to “diminish pore size” – which I could use!
My skin is luckily glowing since using the Wild Rose 24-hour moisturizer! I have hyperpigmentation problems and the company claims this will help heal and lighten the skin. I’m pretty sure it is the vitamin c which is making my skin so bright and the the company says the vitamin E helps to promote a healthy complexion and for the last four weeks I have not had one break out – which isn’t common for me.
