Wildflowers and bees inspire Yon-Ka’s 2022 limited edition cult product
06 Jun 2022 . BY Megan Whitby
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.
The Spa Life UK Convention – the UK's leading networking and business development event for
spa and wellness professionals – is back this year with a renewed focus on resilience and
reinvention.
Oliver Cahill, managing director of Premier Software part of Journey Hospitality, is well-
versed in assisting spa operators world-over. As spa professionals and clients tackle the
current cost of living crisis, we ask Oliver his supportive perspective.
Biologique Recherche was founded by a family of passionate skincare experts. Today, it is
managed by Rupert Schmid and Pierre-Louis Delapalme, while Philippe Allouche, son of
founders Yvan and Josette Allouche, leads the Research & Development team.
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 Lodge at Woodloch is a five-star, adults-only destination spa resort located in the
Poconos in Pennsylvania, on the east coast of the United States. It’s considered one of the
top destination spas in the US, ranking #8 in Conde Nast Traveler’s 2022 list.
Two years after Fashionizer Spa launched its durable, breathable and comfortable eco-
friendly
fabric Eco Smooth, the company is pleased to announce two new styles created in the fabric.
The spa industry’s most renowned manufacturer of premium spa equipment Living Earth Crafts
is
proud to introduce the Conforma Lux™ Adaptive Chest Comfort System, a new optional feature
for its award-winning treatment tables.
Pioneering skincare and wellbeing brand myBlend was relaunched in 2022 under the direction
of Dr Olivier Courtin – son of Clarins founder Jacques Courtin.
Book4Time is the leading cloud-based spa and amenity management software for the world’s
top
hotels and resorts, used by more Forbes Five-Star resorts than any other vendor.
