Yon-Ka Paris is a French, Phyto-aromatic brand.
We look to nature and two complimentary plant specialties to treat, heal, and restore the skin = Phyto + Aroma
The brand name itself suggests harmony and the quest for constant rejuvenation, and is a fusion of two complimentary words:
Yon – represents energy, perpetual renewal
Ka – the subtle healing energy inherent in every being, part of eternity
Yon-Ka was created in 1954 by the Mühlethaler family who had a passion for botany. Pioneers in aromatherapy and phytotherapy, Cécile, Ernest and Charles Mühlethaler established the Multaler laboratories in 1954, with a rich collection of knowledge which they shared only with a few scientists, chemists, and physicians.
In 1968, the Mühlethaler sisters, Catherine (an aesthetician) and Françoise (a biochemist) took the lead of the company. Fierce brand advocates and visionaries, they continue to drive the company forward, and expand internationally, notably in the United-States. France remains the world-wide leader in the luxury health, wellness and beauty space.
Today, Yon-Ka is present in 56 countries through a network of spas, salons, and medical facilities.

Plant cell actives; revered for many actions that are key to exceptional products and are primarily grown using organic methods. In the early years of the brand, Plant extracts provided important yet humble actions for the skin:
Remineralize, hydrate, nourish, repair/strengthen, etc.
In recent years, Research & Development advancements have amplified the longevity actions of phytotherapy, i.e. the ability to preserve and repair the skin’s infrastructures. Longevity actions include:
Fight inflamm’aging and glycation, telomere protection, ATP synthesis, etc.
The therapeutic usage of essential oils to restore skin’s natural energies. The sourcing and blending of the essential oils makes the difference between a good product and an exceptional one.
Essential oils are light, dry oils that do not need encapsulation to enhance their delivery into the skin. Benefits to the skin are complimented by the scent/sensory actions of essential oils, therefore, effects are felt by both the body and the mind. They bring the sun’s energy to the skin, promoting numerous benefits:
The Yon-Ka Quintessence is the DNA of the brand: it provides a unique olfactory experience, this exclusive active complex is the cornerstone of the Yon-Ka collection of products.
It is always pre-dosed to ensure perfect tolerance and optimum results, and it completes and enhances the efficacy of the actives it is combined with.
This unique and unparalleled elixir is a true multi-active beauty concentrate. It combines 5 fundamental essential oils in concentrations that have been precisely measured to provide the most perfect synergy:
Lavender, Geranium, Rosemary, Cypress, and Thyme
Together they work in an “entourage effect” to treat, heal, and restore the skin. 70% of the product collection contains Quintessence in addition to their other active ingredients.
Geranium essential oil (pelargonium gravaeolens): anti-aging and balancing properties
Lavender essential oil (lavandula angustifolia): regenerating and soothing properties
Rosemary essential oil (rosmarinus officinalis): detoxifying and firming properties
Cypress essential oil (cupressus sempervirens): refining and balancing properties
Thyme essential oil (thymus officinalis): purifying and invigorating properties
At Yon-Ka, our priority is to provide visible and lasting results, by giving back the skin its natural ability to regain and maintain its balance, its health and its beauty, and acting in an effective manner on its dermatological issues and aging process.
Yon-Ka’s Research & Development is totally geared towards achieving fast and visible results. It relies on an in-house scientific experts committee (including PhD pharmacists, dermatologists, biologists, chemical engineers, bacteriologists…) and rigorous standards for the clinical evaluation of the efficacy of the products marketed.
We carefully formulate, manufacture, control and distribute all the products we sell, which allows us to ensure a total traceability from the raw material to the end-product at its retail destination. The Yon-Ka products are manufactured in France; they are not tested on animals and respect a precise formulation charter. They do not contain parabens, aluminum salts, SLS, MIT, or Triclosan.
-Produced in a “white zone” (cleanroom) with filter air; pharmaceutical standards
-Yon-Ka follows GMP and ISO 22716 standards
Yon-Ka relies on the power of the essential oils and plant extracts combined with “gold standard” actives such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, polyphenols, peptides and AHAs in order to target skin aging and address all the potential issues of the skin.
Yon-Ka controls the efficacy of each product (firming effect, depth of the wrinkles, hydration, anti-glycation action, anti-oxidant effect, anti-brown spots …), thanks to clinical surveys conducted by independent laboratories:
To foster its efficacy, Yon-Ka also relies on state-of-the-art professional treatment protocols, bringing together manual and instrumental techniques.
A Yon-Ka treatment is a unique and expert alchemy bringing together the hand of the therapist which feels, the tool that reinforces its action and the essential oils that enhance it. A know-how the brand shares with its authorized partners through regular and on-going training sessions and seminars, in order to ensure we all provide you with visible results.
Therefore, every professional treatment can and will be customized according with the skin type, the skin concern or the mood of the day.
