1.Soil Lab
Apothecary Wild Rose is our signature ingredient, long-used at the Korres Herbal Apothecary, the source of inspiration for our first ever cosmetic product. Our precious, pure Wild Rose grows in the Balkan Botanic Garden of Kroussia in northern Greece. The Garden hosts many rare and endemic plant species -it is literally a museum of plants. Dedicated to preserving and promoting our homeland’s biodiversity paradise, this is an initiative by the Institute of Plant Breeding and Genetic Resources of the Hellenic Agricultural Organization “DIMITRA”. The Garden’s team was the first to sustainably cultivate Wild Rose, researching and adopting optimum cultivation methods to reach maximum yield’ quality and quantity.

2.Extraction Lab
KORRES Apothecary Wild Rose oil is an enriched natural, virgin oil deriving from the seeds and the pericarp, abundant in beneficial compounds like oleic, linoleic, linolenic fatty acids, sterols, tocopherols and carotenoids. 100kg of fruits yield just 1kg of our Apothecary Wild Rose oil. Produced with the cold-pressing method, this is the purest and most natural oil, preserving all its supreme qualities. The mildest solvent-free oil production technique, ensuring a final product of superior purity, offering just a small quantity of this precious, non-refined oil. We follow a 100% zero-waste extraction process, while solid residue is composted to end up back into the soil as organic fertilizer.

3.Molecular Lab
Apothecary Wild Rose oil, deriving from the fruit of the plant that contains 9 times the vitamin C content of an orange juice, is a source of powerful antioxidants, rich in Ω3, Ω6, Ω9 fatty acids and vitamin A. It has moisturizing and softening properties. It offers radiance, a unique glow. The Apothecary Wild Rose collection is powered with vitamin SUPER C™; a high absorption stabilized vitamin C, increasing skin’s vitamin C absorption by 1000% for the most advanced brightening and first wrinkles improvement ever experienced.
