Korres Natural Products From Greece For Hair And Body!
George and Lena Korres mix potions to charm the skin and delight the senses Back in 1989, pharmacist George Korres set out on a mission to do what no one in Greece had done before: Develop and market his very own line of homeopathic remedies. So he went out and bought a pharmacy. And not just any pharmacy, but the oldest homeopathic pharmacy in Athens, which, prior to Korres, sold only imported products. Soon after, a chemical engineer named Lena came to help create the new remedies, and in a story worthy of a Greek myth, the two fell in love and were married. With their first-hand knowledge of homeopathic ingredients, George and Lena stocked the lab with loads of natural ingredients and got to work. Their organic approach toward healing was a recipe for success that had customers coming in droves. Over the next few years, the Korres Pharmacy became the center of homeopathic medicine in Greece. With a prominent clientele from both Athens and abroad, special requests from customers came often and the Korres' happily obliged. They even agreed, upon a customer request, to make skincare products using the same natural ingredients they relied on at the pharmacy. In no time, word of their high quality, herb-based skincare concoctions got out—and scores of requests came pouring in. By 1996, the couple officially launched Korres Natural Products and began selling their skin-friendly products from behind the counter at their Athens pharmacy. The goal of Korres was simple: To develop affordable skin, hair, and personal care products using essential oils, high quality herbs, and plant extracts, and to deliver safe and beneficial results without making false promises or using synthetic ingredients. From watercress to wild rose, pomegranate to passion flower, walnut to wild mango, Korres packs their product with the finest active ingredients. And every product in the growing collection looks and smells as luxurious as the photo on the bottle would suggest. But the real proof of Korres' commitment to remaining safe, effective, and natural lies not just with what they put in their products, but with what they leave out: synthetic components like mineral oil, silicone, and propylene glycol. As a line based out of one of the oldest cities, it's no surprise that some of Korres' most popular offerings are seeped in Greek tradition. Yogurt, honey, almond oil, sugar, avocado, and jojoba are just a few of the ingredients that have been used in traditional Greek beauty products for centuries. And since Greece's vertical terrain is home to the most diverse herb garden in the world, it is also only natural that Korres relies on skin-friendly herbs like chamomile, fennel, basil, and laurel, which are all indigenous to the country, to make their products so special. What started behind the counter in an ancient Greek pharmacy has grown to include over 150 products. From beautiful packaging (who wouldn't want this in their bathroom?) and unique ingredients to user-friendly formulas that feel and smell as amazing as they look, Korres is a brand that brings Mother Nature to the beauty world.
