Primary research is in our DNA.


We discover powerful natural ingredients, develop breakthrough technologies, and create advanced complexes for formulas that meet the most demanding skin needs—delivering visible results. As part of high-profile research programs on natural actives, we collaborate with esteemed academic and scientific institutes around the world.

Our focus is on Greek nature. We study plant systems at a cellular level, knowing that each plant is a complex structure of over 1,300 distinct elements. Identifying and isolating these is key to revealing the plant’s unique biological mechanisms and properties.

Thanks to this dedication, KORRES has introduced 7 new ingredients to the global INCI directory (WINCI). Over 12 research projects have led to some of our most iconic, multi-awarded formulas—while enriching global knowledge on natural ingredients.

At the KORRES Molecular Lab, we seek optimal ingredient synergies to create advanced formulations for strong, healthy-looking skin. We believe we have truly contributed to the evolution of natural beauty—and for that, we are proud.

“I love all-things-Greece. The Aegean Sea, our blue and white, Ι love being near the sea year-round, the smell of the air, and the way the Greek light embraces all and everything. Each time I step my foot on the Athens airport returning from one of my many travels, I feel blissful, an unsurpassed feeling of burden-free euphoria that is hard to put into words. I am blessed with good friends who I walk through my life with.

I am obsessed with our Black Pine collection! Cannot imagine a day going by without using the 360o Eye-Lift Super Serum and the Face Serum!!”
