KORA Organics

KORA Organics is an Australian/US-based company co-founded by supermodel Miranda Kerr. Kora Organics skincare range was created alongside a team of researchers and consultants in microbiology, aromatherapy and organic chemistry who specialise in organic and natural formulations in Australia. The range is Ecocert certified as it is made partly from natural and certified organic ingredients. Furthermore, the skincare product line is in accordance with Cosmos (standard), a global certifying agency that follows strict organic guidelines and regulations around ingredient selection and the manufacturing process.
KORA Organics products are sold in over 200 retailers across Australia including the department store David Jones Limited and Sephora. After launching in the United States in 2017, KORA Organics is now sold in 30 countries including United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, as well as through the company's website and via e-retailers Nourished Life, Adore Beauty, Cult Beauty, and Net-a-Porter.
Background.
Before Kerr's modelling career, she spent 18 months studying nutrition and health psychology at the Academy of Natural Living near Cairns. This interest in healthy living led to her founding KORA Organics to create a range of certified organic skincare products that she had always wanted but was unable to find. Kerr self-funded the company with her modelling money, and her 95% stake in the brand remains. According to the company, the name KORA Organics is derived from Miranda's own belief in the connection of the mind, body and spirit to the ‘core’ self.
Awards.
KORA Organics has won 24 global awards since 2017 to date, including coveted awards such as; Allure Best of Beauty three years in a row, Elle International Beauty Awards and InStyle magazines Best Beauty Awards.

Controversy.
On 8 September 2014, Glammonitor reported that KORA Organics has some Certified Organic ingredients but it is not Certified as a whole, after laboratories confirmed that KORA Organics Benzyl alcohol is produced from synthetic origin. As of 5 October 2014, Miranda Kerr did not respond to the evidences found by the laboratories.
