Kari is a high-end luxury skincare brand inspired by the ancient island of Ikaria, Greece—a place renowned for longevity, vitality, and untouched natural beauty. Rooted in the philosophy that true skincare is the sum of all parts, Kari’s collection consists of four rare serums, each sourced from distinct regions of the island, harnessing powerful ingredients found only in Ikaria’s rich, unspoiled landscapes.
Each serum embodies a unique facet of the island’s essence, from mineral-rich coastal botanicals to age-defying mountain extracts, working in harmony to restore, protect, and rejuvenate the skin. Together, they form a complete ritual—an interconnected system where every element enhances the other, reflecting Ikaria’s holistic approach to well-being. More than just skincare, Kari is an immersive experience in longevity, purity, and the timeless wisdom of nature.
Kari began as more than just a skincare brand—it was born from an experience, a journey to Ikaria, Greece, that changed the way I viewed beauty, longevity, and the connection between nature and self-care. As I wandered through the island’s untouched landscapes, met the people, and immersed myself in their way of life, I was captivated by the effortless radiance of those who lived there. Their secret wasn’t just skincare—it was a lifestyle, rooted in the land, in tradition, and in the purity of their environment.
Inspired by Ikaria’s rare botanicals and its reputation as a Blue Zone, I set out to create a skincare line that captured the essence of this place. Every ingredient in Kari is thoughtfully sourced, working with local botanists and ethical harvesters to preserve the integrity of Ikaria’s rich natural resources. Each serum is a reflection of the island’s four distinct regions, formulated to embody their unique healing properties while blending traditional Ikarian herbal wisdom with modern skincare science.
