What is the difference between certified organic and organic?+–
KORA Organics is so much more than “clean beauty”—we’re Certified Organic Beauty.
There are so many buzz words thrown around daily regarding skincare, beauty and household products, and with KORA Organics—you know what you are getting and putting on YOUR skin. KORA Organics is certified organic and natural in accordance with COSMOS, a global certifying agency that follows strict organic guidelines and regulations around ingredients and the manufacturing process.
Simply because a product says it is “natural” or “organic” it can still have many harmful ingredients mixed in or ingredients that can turn into formaldehyde causing agents.
-
Is it true that all skincare has to contain some form of preservative?+–
Any "cream-based" product needs to contain a preservative to be safe. KORA Organics only uses preservatives that are approved by COSMOS. KORA Organics is committed to ensuring the finest quality ingredients throughout the range.
-
Why do your products have an expiration date?+–
All skin and body care products are required by law to have an expiration date. This ensures that a product will uphold its integrity, quality, performance and be safe for consumer use within a given period of time.
Our products have a 30-month expiration date from the date of manufacture.
KORA Organics does not use any harmful or controversial preservatives, often used to extend the shelf life of cosmetic products. We only use natural-based preservatives that are globally approved by COSMOS.
To ensure best quality of use, it is important to ensure your KORA Organics products are stored correctly—Keep it sealed when not in use, and out of direct heat & sunlight.

Essential oils vs synthetic fragrance - how and why does KORA Organics use essential oils?+–
KORA Organics only uses natural or organic essential oils to scent our products (NEVER artificial or synthetic fragrance), which follows our belief in presenting only the purest of skin and body care products. Historically, essential oils have been used for centuries to delicately fragrance the skin and have been the backbone of most natural or organic skin and body care products. We blend essential oils into our product not only from an aromatherapy standpoint—but mostly importantly—for their specific skin benefits. We use these oils at very minute levels, so as not to overpower the senses nor cause any irritation. Therefore, we do not need to include any synthetically derived fragrances whatsoever.

-
Does KORA Organics use nuts in their products?+–
KORA Organics formulations do not contain any peanuts, almonds, walnuts, cashews or Brazil nut-based ingredients. A high percentage of “nut” allergies are based upon an intolerance of peanuts, which botanically are not a “nut” but a legume. However, many KORA products do contain Macadamia Seed, Coconut and Shea Butter, which are considered part of the tree nut family. These types of nut oils, typically, do not irritate people with nut allergies and tend to be low in risk. As always, we encourage customers who have serious allergies to consult a doctor/allergist or conduct a patch test before using any product.
