Yon-Ka Skin Care

Your mind and body will benefit from the unique approach to well-being offered by Yon-Ka skin care.

About Yon-Ka

The name may not be familiar to you, but Yon-Ka is actually a well-reputed, renowned beauty brand specializing in facial, body and sun care products. Founded in the 1950s by the Mühlethaler family, the French-owned business was helmed by experienced botanists and experts in phytotherapy and esthetic aromatherapy. Today, Yon-Ka is owned and operated by siblings Franҫoise and Catherine Mühlethaler. The products are produced in the Laboratoires Multaler, located in Paris.

As one might expect from an established brand specializing in natural beauty, these aren't just run-of-the-mill skin care products. Each Yon-Ka item is formulated with a combination of ingredients contained in plant and marine extracts, including vitamins, fruit acids and trace elements.

The company takes their role in the skin care world seriously. In order to best serve their clientele and provide personalized treatments and tips for each individual skin type, Yon-Ka has established partnerships with professional estheticians around the world. Their understanding of the Yon-Ka skin care system and its specialized approach to beauty allows them to offer clients one-on-one consultations and unique advice.

Yon-Ka Skin Care Products

Boasting an impressive array of products, Yon-Ka's skin care collection is therapeutic and gentle. Achieve soft, radiant skin with these natural, soothing products.

Cleansers

Wash away the day's debris, including makeup, dirt and oil, with one of three effective cleansers. The brand's milk cleanser is ideal for dry skin, while the gel is appropriate for oily skin.

Toners

Toners aren't a required step in the cleansing process, but many individuals choose to use them because they feel cooling and refreshing. Yon-Ka offers two formulas, for oily and dry/sensitive skin types, respectively. The toners are packaged in unique spray bottles, offering convenience and practicality.

Scrubs

Say goodbye to flaky, dry skin. The brand's gentle exfoliating body scrubs contain carob extracts, which work to brighten and revitalize the skin. Yon-Ka recommends leaving the scrub on the face for five minutes to allow it ample time to condition the skin.

Masks

Facial masks are the little gems on a shelf full of skin care products. Each has a different purpose, but they all share one common trait: they leave the skin glowing. The Yon-Ka collection includes three, each infused with clay and plant extracts.

1. Purifying
2. Lightening
3. Moisturizing

Eye and Lip Creams

Reduce puffiness, dark circles, lines and wrinkles with your choice of four different formulas. Each cream contains specialized ingredients, such as fruit acids, hazelnut oil, rosemary extract or tomato lycopene.

Serums

The addition of a serum to a skin care regimen can mean the difference between a ho-hum routine and a truly effective one. The brand's serums are designed to:

• Nourish the skin with cereal germ oils
• Combat free radicals
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Restore the skin's natural balance
• Improve the skin's elasticity and defense mechanisms
• Firm trouble spots and "retrain" them to prevent future sagging
• Hydrate the skin in tandem with a regular day or night moisturizer
• Illuminate the complexion
• Ensure long-lasting makeup all day long

Moisturizers

Give your facial skin the gentle treatment it deserves. One of Yon-Ka's deeply moisturizing emollients, available for all skin types, is a necessary part of a complete regimen.

Specialty Products

Sensitive and acne-prone skin types require special products to supplement their existing skin care regimens. Yon-Ka's plant- and marine-infused products are all gentle, but select products are formulated to work specifically on skin that is extra-sensitive or problematic.

1. Lifting serums for pre- and post-menopausal skin
2. Alpha-hydroxy fluids to promote cell renewal
3. Sun protection creams to prevent age spots and sun damage
