An Impossibly Healthy Mascara!

By Justin St. Clair

Korres Abyssina Dramatically Volumizing Mascara is almost an oxymoron.  If I told you cigarette smoking was good for your health you’d probably assume I was just being a jackass. There’s no such thing as a healthy cigarette. Well, I hate to break it to you, but when it comes to mascara, there is no such thing as mascara that’s good for you lashes, never mind natural and safe. When it comes to harmful ingredients mascaras usually top the list, hands down. Healthy mascara = oxymoron!  That is until Korres.

If you haven’t heard of Korres you are definitely missing out.  If you haven’t heard of Greece I suggest you consult Wikipedia immediately and book plane tickets ASAP!  What do the two have in common?  Only that Korres was established out of Greece’s oldest homeopathic pharmacy of the same name-KORRES.  In a nutshell, Korres makes cosmetics that are clinically tested for skin compatibility, high performance, free of harmful synthetic compounds, and made with natural ingredients.

My first Korres product was a bath gel I got to use while traveling. The scent was sublime and could easily have been a fragrance in its own right, and my skin was thrilled. This lead to further investigation . . .

Korres Abyssina Dramatically Volumizing Mascara is a lovely formulation that definitely does what it says!  A mascara that works is a good mascara! Apply, allow to dry, and apply more without clump-o-rama. But here’s the clincher – no baddies. In fact, goodies!

Abyssinia oil – rich in fatty acids give it a great texture and look and not to mention conditions.

Provitamin B5 and Vitamin E  – helps to further condition your lashes and prevent breakage.

Bamboo extract – strengthens and smooths the outer layer of the lashes.

Volumizing, strengthening, conditioning natural mascara available in 4 colors!  Now can your girlfriends (of boyfriends) say that about their mascara?
