Cop that Greek glow with Beauty Bar's newest skincare brand: Korres. Born out of Athens' long-standing homeopathic pharmacy in 1996, its founders - Pharmacist Giorgos Korres and Chemical Engineer Lena Korres - continue to deliver safe, effective and clean plant-powered products. The brand uses natural, high-quality ingredients that are endemic to Greece such as Greek yoghurt, green olive, wild rose and pomegranate. It also follows a strict seed-to-skin system, which Korres developed to maintain a sustainable production process. With Greece nature, its apothecary heritage, science and aesthetics as its driving forces, Korres is the brand you can trust for your beauty needs.
Korres is built on a team of botanists, pharmacists and scientists. Together, they created a Full Circle system - which is a six-step process powered by six labs - that encompasses every part of their production. It begins with the Soil Lab wherein ingredients are cultivated in healthy Greek soil while supporting local farming communities. Second is the Extraction Lab where ingredients undergo a zero-waste extraction process. This is followed by the Molecular Lab where Korres' team constantly studies plants at a cellular level to understand and identify which ingredients work best for different skin types. Fourth is the Formulation Lab where a women-led Research and Development team tests each product 500 times to ensure peak efficacy and safety. After which, beautiful yet recyclable packaging is produced at the Design Lab. Lastly, the sixth step happens at the Recycle Lab where empty containers are reborn as packaging, art objects and even furniture.
