The Philosophy of Yon-Ka

The philosophy that Yon-Ka is based on is embodied in its name, which is a combination of two words:

  • YON: a river with rapid and purifying water, as well as the phonetic homonym “ion”, meaning an energy particle.
  • KA: in ancient Egypt, Ka signifies the vital and eternal force that is inherent in each individual.

Yon-Ka is a name that symbolises natural and constant regeneration.

Yon-Ka Paris products are naturally based. Please refer to the side of the retail box for the percentage of ingredients of natural origin. 70% of the line has 90% or higher ingredients of natural origin. Yon-Ka holds itself to strict standards and has been self-regulating its use of natural ingredients for years.

Nature and Plants

From aromatherapy to phytotherapy

From roots to seeds, over 130 plants from the lands and seas of the entire world are used to compose Yon-Ka products and contribute to their effectiveness through targeted phyto-aromatic active ingredients.

From aromatherapy to aromachology, essential oils deliver their volatile scented molecules with powerful physiological and psychotherapeutic actions.

From phytotherapy to gemmotherapy, titrated plant extracts are used: peptides, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, mineral salts, trace elements, polyphenols, AHAs, BHAs and more reinforce and enrich product effectiveness.

Yon-Ka accentuates the complementarity of these renowned sciences.

The Quintessence

At the heart of Yon-Ka formulas lies the Quintessence — an extraordinary synergy of five pre-dosed essential oils with a wide field of action. It is used in 70% of the brand’s products.

Depending on concentration, it is also a relaxing or energising olfactory blend.

  • Fine lavender from Haute-Provence – calming, healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Geranium from Egypt – anti-inflammatory, analgesic and healing properties.
  • Rosemary from Morocco – antiseptic, regenerating and toning properties.
  • Cypress from Provence – decongesting and nerve-balancing properties.
  • Thyme from Spain – stimulant with powerful antiseptic properties.

The plants used in Yon-Ka products come from renewable resources and sustainable agriculture and are mainly of organic origin.

Science studies the influence of smells on human behaviour and uses young shoots and buds to stimulate cellular metabolism.
