Miranda Kerr on KORA Organics, Wellness,...

About this episode

When Miranda Kerr was just 16, her mother’s cancer diagnosis became a turning point prompting her to look closely at what she was putting in and on her body. That moment sparked a lifelong passion for holistic health and organic living, ultimately becoming the seed for KORA Organics. As a supermodel, Miranda spent years in the makeup chair—constantly exposed to products that prioritized quick results over clean ingredients. Frustrated by the lack of skincare that was both certified organic and truly effective, she decided to create her own. After three years of collaboration with leading chemists in the natural space, KORA launched in 2009 with a bold mission: to deliver high-performance skincare powered by uncompromised ingredients and grounded in wellness. Every formula meets the strictest global standards and is supercharged with antioxidants—thanks to sustainable harvesting methods that are kinder to your skin and the planet. Today, KORA is available in over 40 countries and remains rooted in Miranda’s original vision: skincare that supports your glow, inside and out.

In this episode, Miranda also discusses:

  • Inspired by noni fruit & her grandma’s natural remedies
  • Infusing products with rose quartz for energy & intention
  • Being fully certified organic, not just “clean” 
  • Uses plant-based retinol alternatives like bakuchiol & acai
  • Self-funding the brand and being deeply involved in every product
  • The importance of consistency in your routine
  • Having the brand stand alone without her attachment
  • Fun fact, Miranda writes her own copy!

We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Miranda's journey and the growth of www.us.koraorganics.com. Don't forget to subscribe to the Glam & Grow podcast for more in-depth conversations with the most incredible brands, founders, and more.
