Greek Beauty FAQ

No, at KORRES we believe in purity of ingredient and intention. We are strictly against animal testing, and do not test any ingredients or products on animals, nor do we hire outside companies to do so for us at any stage in production.

All of our safety and efficacy tests are performed at our Formulation Lab in Athens, using synthetic skin cells or on volunteers under the surveillance of a dermatologist, ophthalmologist or other medical professional. We do not sell to any countries that require animal testing and follow the European Union's strict legislation that bans animal testing on finished cosmetic products and their ingredients.

The simple answer is no, but be sure to check the details section under each product to see the content of each formulation and whether the product is gluten-free, made with wheat-derived ingredients or may contain traces of wheat.

Yes, the vast majority of our products are suitable for vegetarians and/or vegans.

Our clean formulas are plant-based and inspired by the natural Greek landscape. Under the details section of each product page, you’ll find the content for each formulation and whether or not it is suitable for you.

We advise that all pregnant and/or breastfeeding women consult their doctor before the use of any product. Our natural ingredients are our pride and joy, which is why we love to include detailed ingredient lists for each product. Have your doctor look them over to help you decide if a product is safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding.

In addition, we make safety and efficacy a top priority by avoiding 2,000+ harmful or chemical substances and only use EU-approved, absolutely safe synthetic ingredients when they are the safer option.

Wherever possible, yes. We’re proud to be internationally recognized for environmental best practices, operating under a no-waste principle with renewable energy, and creating 99% recyclable packaging—it’s all a part of our Full Circle process.

Our Product Team refreshes our skincare assortment annually based on the seasonality of our ingredients, new innovations, and global customer feedback.

We’d love to hear from you about what your favorite product is and, if needed, we will be happy to provide alternative recommendations that best suit your skin needs
