Yonka-Paris skin care products defined

From Yonka headquarters:

Treat yourself to the forces of nature. Yonka unveils your true beauty with the living force of nature found in flowers, leaves, fruit, barks, roots, seeds, medicinal herbs from fields, woods and mountains and marine plant life.

YONKA DEFINED

The words YON and KA that comprise the mysterious name for this exceptional product come from the vision of two brothers early in the 20th century, Charles and Ernest Multaler. YON is the name for a river in China known to Charles and Ernest as a place of beauty and renewal. They chose this to represent the purity of their formulas. KA is of Egyptian origin and represents life force. Aromatherapy has long been recognized as utilizing the life force of the botanical. Charles and Ernest were able to capture these life forces and integrate them into every product they created, giving their products a quality rarely experienced in skin care.

YONKA ESSENTIAL OILS

Yonka has been the undisputed pioneer of professional aesthetic aromatherapy since the 1950s. Through its face, body and sun skin care collections, Yonka gives your skin the most precious that plants can provide: the enlivening essential oils charged with energy from the sun’s rays. In the heart of Yonka, a pure and natural aromatic composition of lavender, cypress, rosemary, thyme, and geranium essential oils: “The 5 Quintessence Essential Oils.” This exclusive formula is then blended with a wealth of plant extracts from all over the world.

YONKA PLANT, FRUIT, AND MARINE EXTRACTS

With their subtle aromas, the essential oils combined with plant, fruit, and marine extracts act to balance, soothe, revive and rejuvenate. Each ingredient has a specific role for your skin: the fruit acids moisturize and enhance the complexion; the vitamins combat free radicals; the seaweed remineralize; and the plant oils nourish and soften.

THE YONKA COMMITMENT

Each product is created, manufactured and tested by the Laboratories Multaler, a French family-owned company. Each product you buy comes with the guarantee of a genuine, high-quality formulation that delivers instant and long-lasting results. Yonka products are sold by skin care professionals the world over, to offer the most effective personalized Yonka products and beauty treatments that combine pleasure and freshness, visible results, and a renewed sense of well-being.

MORE ABOUT YONKA PRODUCTS

The Yon-Ka collection provides advanced therapeutic facial care to cope with all skin imbalances and conditions—tightness and flakiness associated with dry skin; over-reactivity of sensitive types; dullness of combination skin; excess shine and blemishes of oily skin; acne lesions caused by problematic skin, as well as sudden loss of essential moisture, typical of dehydrated skin.

Yon-Ka also addresses the onset of premature aging—wrinkles, loss of firmness, tired features, hyper-pigmentation, sun damage, loss of vitality and radiance. In addition to specialized facial care, the collection includes eye and lip care—lack of tone, resilience and nourishment, crow’s feet, expression lines, and puffiness. Body wellness is strongly represented with an arsenal of impressive products formulated to promote and restore—softness, moisture, skin tone and shape of the silhouette, bust contour, heavy leg relief and elasticity following pregnancy and weight fluctuations.

From France, Yon-Ka is termed an aromatheraputic product. Aromatherapy is the science and use of essential oils. Essential oils aren’t, however, oily oils. They are natural essences derived from plants and flowers, usually through a process called distillation. These aromatic essences are sometimes termed “oils” because they are lighter than water, thus float on the surface of water like a true oil. Their viscosity, however, is thin—like water.

Essential oils stimulate circulation, balance out oil secretions, help to tone capillaries that cause redness in the skin, provide an anti-bacterial environment when infection is present, and have an overall beneficial effect on skin tone and coloring—to name just a few of their many benefits.

If you have problems with your skin, Yon-Ka can help. If you have normal, no problem skin, Yon-Ka can still help make a positive difference in your skin. We encourage you to try these aromatic, effective, and simple to use products, and you too can experience the pleasure of healthy, beautiful skin.
