We’ve all heard about and experienced the effects of the global supply chain challenges and delays with shipping carriers. We anticipate these will only continue over the next few weeks. Any delays with order fulfillment or shipping can be frustrating, so we’ll always keep you in the loop with the most up-to-date information. No matter the processing time or shipping estimate, you will always be able to track your order status via the link in your order confirmation. You will also receive a shipping confirmation with the tracking number as soon as your order ships, so that you may keep an eye on your order as it makes its way to you.
Where do KORRES ingredients and products come from?
Greece—our home and our ultimate inspiration. The Greek landscape is filled with unique, wild flora that has grown and been used for traditional remedies for thousands of years. From working with local micro-farmers to teaching sustainable practices, our method of gathering ingredients has always gone beyond just farming—it’s a labor of love and our eternal passion. Through a Full Circle™ seed-to-skin journey, we carefully transport each seed, fruit, or bloom to our six labs to be extracted, formulated, and ultimately returned to the soil as organic fertilizer.
We care deeply about our products, our results, and you—our customers. You can learn more about our Full Circle™ process [here](https://www.korres.com/pages/our-process).
How do you come up with your formulas?
Our products are inspired by the unique and transformative ingredients we source from Greece, our all-women Research & Development team, as well as our skin’s needs. We create ingredient-first, results-driven formulas that combine the power of nature with cutting-edge science and natural technologies—all with the aim of achieving a specific skin goal and keeping our blends as clean and natural as possible.
How do you make sure your formulas are safe?
At KORRES we are known for developing our products with the highest standards of testing and transparency. Each one of our products goes through over 500 tests to ensure they are safe and effective—and we start from scratch if even one of those tests falls short.
Just as important as what goes into our formulas, is what we leave out. We have an ever-growing list of 2,000+ commonly used ingredients and chemicals that we avoid using an are always challenging ourselves to develop highly natural and efficacious products.
Does Korres test on animals?
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.
Are all your products Gluten Free?
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.
Are your products OK for vegetarians & vegans?
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.
