What makes Yon-Ka different

Yon-Ka was founded in 1954 by the Mühlethaler family and is still a family business: Laboratoires Multaler in Colombes, with the laboratory in Argenteuil near Paris. The brand is a pioneer of phyto-aromatherapy, combining plant-based actives with essential oils. That philosophy is most recognisable in the Quintessence complex: lavender, geranium, rosemary, cypress and thyme. You will find it in the in-cabin treatments and in most of the at-home products — hence the distinctive scent and spa feeling people associate with Yon-Ka. Formulation and production take place in France ("100% French"), and the treatments are offered in more than 6,000 beauty institutes and spas in 60 countries. With Yon-Ka, skincare is always a ritual too: apply, breathe in, take a moment.
