Based on their experience with skincare textures, Korres have avoided specific synthetic ingredients, such as petroleum derivatives (mineral oil), propylene glycol (extraction solvent linked to a number of allergies) and ethanolamines (pH regulators linked with skin irritations). The ingredients mentioned above have been replaced by vegetable oils, natural aminoacids and mild extraction solvents, which are friendly to the skin and possess inherent moisturising and nourishing properties. Being committed to developing products in more environment friendly and skincompatible ways, Korres have limited the use of silicones (synthetic, non biodegradable compounds) and parabens (family of compounds used to preserve the final products, with potential irritating action), to the minimum percentage or even eliminated them, wherever possible.
