Active Aloe - stimulates collagen and elastin to reduce the visible signs of aging.
Wheat Proteins - form a protective shield to help maintain skin’s ideal moisture level.
Vitamins C, E and Zinc - enhance the natural immune system of the skin.

I purchased this from Luxola, the newest beauty and bath addition to the online scene. It was virtually a fuss-free shopping experience and you get your products the following day.

This Japanese Rose shower gel is my first product from the brand. I had heard good things about the brand and so I thought I would start off with their shower gel since there was a 20% discount storewide. Who can resist the lure of roses? It reminds one of romantic days with lacy and frilly dresses.

Made in Greece, this 250ml bottle costs me $14. It has a flick-top cap opening where the light yellow shower gel flows out easily. It has a light fresh scent of rose which reminded me of rose bundung drink. It cleanses the body well with very rich lathering, leaving a slight silky layer of film on the body which is hardly noticeable. It leaves the skin smooth.

Made of 82.9% natural contents., this shower gel is touted to be WITHOUT:- Parabens- Synthetic Fragrances- Petrochemicals-Phthalates- GMOs- Triclosan. I would have thought that sodium laureth sulfate, (a surfactant)  would be included in the NO list but I am surprised that it is the 2nd ingredient on the ingredient list.
SLS is typically found in foaming products and is known to dry out the skin.

The list of NO xxx is so misleading because there is a mixture of NO and YES and one really need to read it carefully to discern the difference. Still, Korres is worth a round of applause for being upfront of its ingredients.
