Yonka

Yon-Ka is a skincare brand and registered trademark owned by Laboratoires Multaler and Cie, a French company created in 1954 and specialised in "phytoaromatic" skincare (or fragrant plant-base).
Over the years, YON-KA has established a reputation for consistently offering high-quality skin care products.

The name YON-KA is a combination of two words: Yon and Ka. "Yon" is the name of a fast-flowing river filled with purifying water – the basis of all life and also the energy particle, the ion. "Ka" refers to the principle of regeneration in Egyptian mythology, the eternal part of the human soul that dwells in every being. The combined name is the symbol of continuous regeneration, restored harmony and the reconciliation of body and mind. The single objective of YON-KA is to "give your skin the means to regain its balance and vital energy at every age of life."

YON-KA's philosophy centers on two key concepts, phytobiointegrity and personalized treatment. Phytobiointegrity refers to YON-KA's desire to have skin derive maximal benefit from all that the plant world has to offer. YON-KA thus uses not only fragrant essential plant oils but many complementary ingredients contained in plant and marine extracts such as vitamins, trace elements and fruit acids. YON-KA promotes personalized treatment by offering products that help improve a variety of skin conditions and are suitable for virtually all skin types. YON-KA's broad product line offering facilitates regimen personalization.

YON-KA's offer is composed of an extensive palette of tailor-made professional treatments and a range of face, body and sun care products, with a line especially designed for men. YON-KA is distributed in over 40 countries, exclusively through the network of 5,000 selective spas and beauty clinics.

Dermalogica

For years, Dermalogica's formulas have pioneered new standards for product performance. Using only the finest ingredients available. All Dermalogica products are non-comedogenic and contain no occlusive mineral oil or lanolin, no irritating artificial colors or fragrance, and no drying S.D.alcohol.

Dermalogica's story begins in 1986, when the founders of The International Dermal Institute (the postgraduate training facility for skin care professionals) decided to do something about the serious lack of results-driven products on the market.

Researched and developed by The International Dermal Institute, Dermalogica shocked the market by refusing to use artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, S.D. alcohol, lanolin or mineral oil – all of which were industry favorites due to their low cost, despite links to numerous skin problems that were well understood. They also went a step further, insisting that all Dermalogica skin care professionals had to meet the highest level of training and expertise, ensuring that consumers could get reliable consultations about their skin concerns without falling prey to the hype and faddism that dominates the skin care industry.

Dermalogica's commitment to professional skin care continues today with its no-nonsense packaging, emphasis on skin care education and dedication to formulating products that deliver results.
