Giorgos Korres
Korres began as a dream shared by two innovators, Giorgos Korres, a pharmacist with a passion for natural remedies, and Lena Korres, a chemical engineer driven by a love for sustainability and innovation. Together, they transformed their vision into a global brand that combines the science of skincare with the power of nature.
Giorgos's journey started in Athens, where he worked at Greece's oldest homeopathic pharmacy. It was here that his deep respect for nature's healing properties flourished, inspiring him to create formulations rooted in ancient Greek traditions. Meanwhile, Lena brought her expertise in chemical engineering to the table, crafting products that were not only effective but also sustainable and environmentally friendly.
United by their shared values of transparency, quality, and respect for the planet, Giorgos and Lena built Korres from the ground up, starting with just a small team and big dreams. Today, Korres is celebrated worldwide, known for its authentic Greek heritage, innovative formulations, and commitment to green beauty practices.
Lena Korres
A Greek-born chemical engineer, using what she refers to as cool science to decode nature’s defense mechanisms and translate them into skincare that delivers.
The first person to be recruited at KORRES, Lena embraced the pharmacy’s immense knowledge and deep understanding of plants and through primary and applied research at cellular level, literally bottled up the potency of Greek nature in formulations that could help a number of skin concerns from dryness and dark spots to ageing and menopausal skin. From her early days alongside Giorgos, Lena too wanted to develop products that she would be proud to offer.
