Introducing Yon-Ka’s new Vital Defense Multi-Protection Mist
Yon-Ka’s Vital Defense Multi-Protection Mist is a revolutionary product that offers complete protection for the skin against pollution and various light rays – the two leading causes of premature ageing and skin issues. The mist works by creating a protective barrier on the skin’s surface that prevents the adhesion and penetration of pollutants and other particles, providing 360° protection. The formula contains a biosaccharide derived from green science and antioxidant polyphenols extracted from sophora japonica and butterfly tree that form an instant protective barrier against atmospheric pollution and target the harmful effects of light rays. Pollution has become a significant concern as studies show an increase in outdoor pollution, leading to oxidative stress and various skin problems such as lack of oxygenation, inflammation and loss of elasticity. Additionally, different light rays such as UV and blue light contribute to skin ageing and oxidative stress. Yon-Ka’s Vital Defense Multi-Protection Mist provides a reliable and effective solution to combat these effects. In addition, the mist not only shields the skin but also moisturises, soothes and enhances radiance, making it a versatile product suitable for all skin types. The Vital Defense Multi-protection Mist is a real radiance treatment with visible results after seven days – with radiance improving by 16 per cent and the uniformity of the complexion being enhanced by 40 per cent. The product’s effectiveness and positive feedback from users make it a must-have for anyone looking to safeguard their skin against environmental aggressors.

Yon-Ka’s new vitamin C serum and facial promote radiance and combat ageing
Yon-Ka’s brand new facial, Vitamin C25, provides the ultimate anti-ageing, radiance-enhancing, unifying solution for those searching for even more beautiful skin in just 60 minutes. At the intersection of medicine and spa treatments, the facial combines effectiveness and sensory appeal thanks to the combination of a peel containing 30 per cent glycolic acid and a new professional Serum C25 ampoule, containing 25 per cent stable vitamin C*. Post-treatment, the skin is left re-energised, smooth and radiant while the complexion is refreshed with an even more healthy glow. From the very first treatment, 100 per cent of respondents who sampled the ritual said their wrinkles were less visible and that the skin felt plumper. They also stated they wanted to repeat this facial frequently and would recommend its effectiveness to others. In addition, dermatologists measured the uptick in radiance after just one treatment and found that it increased on average by 33 per cent. Yon-Ka partner spas can also now personalise all their treatments with a vitamin C boost by adding a Serum C25 ampoule to upgrade any spa ritual with an added layer of effectiveness from potent vitamin C. On the product side, Yon-Ka has launched Serum C20; a next-generation oleo-serum, with 20 per cent stable vitamin C and native cells of turmeric and pomegranate. The ultra-sensorial effective formula is composed of 99.9 per cent natural ingredients and visibly improves radiance, wrinkles, dark spots and uniformity of the complexion. “Yon-Ka has poured all of its phyto-aromatic expertise into creating this new super-powerful oleo-serum and its associated treatment,” said Karen Andrieux, Yon-Ka marketing director.

Wildflowers and bees inspire Yon-Ka’s 2022 limited edition cult product
Sixty-eight years after it was founded, Yon-Ka remains an independent, family-run French cosmetics and spa company. Founded in 1954, the small craft brand, developed by botany lovers Cécile, Ernest and Charles Mühlethaler, with support from chemists, has now become the phyto-aromatherapy benchmark. For 2022, the brand has developed an exclusive collector’s edition of its iconic skin toner Lotion Yon-Ka. Delicately applied to the face as a light mist, the phyto-aromatic spray suffuses the skin with the famous Yon-Ka Quintessence. The formula is a synergistic blend of five beneficial essential oils – lavender, geranium, rosemary, cypress and thyme – that gives the face a blast of energy. The skin is left feeling refreshed, toned, rebalanced, and most importantly, primed for the daily skincare routine. Lotion Yon-Ka comes in two formulas – one for normal to oily skin and the other for dry and sensitive skin. Since 2014, the product has been reinterpreted by female artists. For this year’s limited edition, Yon-Ka decided to showcase the magic of nature and the wilderness. Sue Miano was selected this year as the artist of choice, a painter who is inspired by watercolour who focuses her work around recreating wildflowers with precision and flair. By using watercolour techniques and a multitude of pastel shades, Miano has created a delicate final design with intricate paintings of wild flora and bees (a nod to the brand’s commitment to protecting bee populations. Since 2014, Yon-Ka has sponsored the ‘‘Un toit pour les abeilles” (“A roof for our bees”) nonprofit organisation, both in France and abroad. For each bottle of the limited edition Lotion Yon-Ka purchased, €1 will be donated to “Un toit pour les abeilles”. This contribution will continue to fund flower field planting and the protection of 750,000 bees in hives located in Provence. Follow Yon-Ka on Instagram or LinkedIn for more updates.

Yon-Ka declares war on blemishes with new SOS Spot Roll-On
When it comes to imperfections, there are no rules. Pimples, excess sebum, blackheads, dilated pores, affect both teenagers and adults. They’re now a universal problem, which have been amplified by the consequences of COVID: both stress and prolonged wearing of protective masks. For adults and teenagers, wearing a mask for long periods of time can become a real aggravating factor, depending on the type of skin. The heat and humidity present between the mask and the skin accentuates the effects of friction, dehydrate the epidermis of the face and encourage bacterial proliferation. This encourages irritation, redness and itching, and can cause aggravation of already existing skin problems. To answer this problem, phyto-aromatic skincare specialist Yon-Ka has launched a portable anti-blemish skincare solution; the SOS Spot Roll-On. The new product contains an alcohol-free concentrate suitable for all skin types and ages. Formulated without preservatives, it’s composed of 95 per cent of natural ingredients and is vegan, gluten-free and dermatologically tested. Yon-Ka has blended the formula with powerful active ingredients: • Ichtyol (rich in sulfur) - to purify. • Postbiotic (lactic acid) - to encourage an optimal balance within the skin’s eco-system. • Calendula and Bisabolol - to soothe. • Lime and Yon-Ka Quintessence - to cleanse. "We wanted to create the ideal solution for active people who want to react at the first sign of a pimple,” explained Luna Armand, product manager at Yon-Ka. “With SOS Spot Roll-on, we have the perfect product, practical to always have on hand in your bag, effective with results in 24 hours, and precise for a localised application without constraint. “It’s truly the best partner for perfect, blemish-free skin."

Introducing Mahana, Yon-Ka’s new Polynesian-inspired healing treatment for the festive season
A year and a half after the pandemic began, the time has come to reinvent our way of life and release ourselves from the tensions of isolation. To relax, escape and boost energy, Yon-Ka has developed the Mahana treatment – a hydrating and comforting facial with a star massage that’s energetic, aromatic and relaxing, inspired by the Polynesian Taurumi ritual.
Taurumi, which means tau (to put down) and rumi (to knead), is both a therapeutic and spiritual practice of Polynesian culture with a holistic dimension.
Taurumi connects the body, mind, heart and soul through touch, enabling each spa guest to open up to the world.
A balance of subtle wellness and skincare expertise In 60 minutes, Mahana takes guests on a journey through a facial and a massage that provides in-depth hydration and illuminates the complexion while relieving tension, discomfort and fatigue through massaging the scalp, hands and feet.
The 30-minute massage takes care of the body as a whole, with specific techniques such as smoothing movements, stretching and rocking to deeply relax musculotendinous areas.
Caroline Martinez, Yon-Ka education director, says the treatment is “ideal for chasing away stress and bringing back radiance. Mahana is an unforgettable experience, a beautiful escape for the holidays and a perfect gift for men and women of all ages.”
Mahana, which translated from Tahitian means sun, showcases Yon-Ka's Polynesian-inspired Relax range of products featuring delicate aromas of tiaré flower and jasmine.
Complementing the festive season offering Alongside this, Yon-Ka has designed a 2021 gifting collection – including the brand’s best-selling products for Hydration, Anti-Aging and Perfection – packaged within a chic, recyclable, natural cotton and linen pouch.
