Our products can be purchased through one of our authorized partner spas or directly online on our website, www.ykcanada.com.

We strongly recommend that Yon-Ka products be purchased exclusively from our official website, or from authorized retailers, such as qualified estheticians or licensed beauty institutes and clinics. Yon-Ka products that you find outside of these places are considered to be unauthorized.

All Yon-Ka products marketed by unauthorized resellers are not approved or endorsed by Yon-Ka.

We asks consumers to be mindful and cautious when buying cosmetic products online, as these could be counterfeit or they could have exceeded their expiration date. They may present health risks when used or may not perform as tested. If you purchase a Yon-Ka product from an unauthorized reseller, we cannot guarantee its quality, authenticity, or your satisfaction. We will not be liable for any consumer dissatisfaction.

Yes, our products are all made in France.

Since we were founded in 1954, we’ve worked hard to be as natural as possible in our formulations, but creating a formula may require synthetic ingredients. Some natural active ingredients don’t always have the required efficacy or can be irritating at the required dose. Our philosophy is to choose the most natural and best tolerated products possible while respecting the environment to give you visible results and true well-being.

Some of our products are preservative-free when the formula permits it. When a preservative is necessary to protect the consumer from contamination risks, Yon-Ka uses the most effective and best tolerated preservative system.

We do not do any testing on animals, in accordance with our ethics and legislation in Europe and in the many countries to which we export. For your information, in the European Union, testing finished cosmetic products (meaning products as they’re sold to consumers) on animals has been prohibited since 11 September 2004. Our products are tested on healthy volunteers using alternative methods under the supervision of doctors, dermatologists, and ophthalmologists.

Being vegan means refusing to consume or apply any products that come from animals or are produced by them. For cosmetics, this means banning collagen, elastin, silk extracts, milk proteins, lanolin, honey, beeswax, propolis, royal jelly, etc...

Most Yon-Ka products are vegan except:

- Advanced Optimizer Cream, Serum, Gel Lift,

- Hand Cream, Cream 15, Cream 55, Cream 93,

- Elastin Day, Elastin Night,

- Excellence Code Mask,

- Nutri-Contour, Nutri-Cream,

- Grapefruit Dry Skin, Grapefruit Normal to Oily Skin,

- Phyto-Contour, Phyto 52, Phyto 58 Oily Skin, Phyto 58 Normal to Oily Skin, Phyto 152,

- Sensitive Mask

Our products are formulated to include the maximum number of natural, preferably organic, active ingredients but these aren’t always available in organic versions.

We have removed all parabens from our formulas.

We have prohibited the use of this very allergy-triggering preservative for many years.

This very effective preservative is permitted by international authorities in concentrations up to 1%. It is considered non-CMR.* Some Yon-Ka products contain an average dose of less than 0.5% phenoxyethanol. When included, it appears on product labels. Even though it belongs to the glycol ethers family, international scientific authorities consider it safe for human health at the approved dose.

*CMR = carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic (CMR)

Yon-Ka does not use these surfactants because we consider them too irritating.

European authorities require cosmetic product manufacturers to list 26 natural or synthetic compounds, considered frequent allergens, if they are present in concentrations of more than 0.01% in rinse-off products and more than 0.001% in no-rinse products. These compounds exist in essential oils and fragrances, so some of these allergens are listed on packages and ingredient lists.

These are holistic, customised face and body care treatments provided by aestheticians who are trained in to use our treatments and products. They include carefully-crafted protocols and exclusive techniques backed by knowledge and extensive professional expertise.

This compound word contains the word ‘phyto’, which means ‘plant’, and the word ‘aromatic’, which is related to aroma, meaning the volatile components of certain plants or their essential oils.

All active ingredients from land or marine plants – from root to seed, bud to leaf, flower to fruit – belong to a science called ‘phytotherapy’, which also includes:

- aromatherapy, or therapy with essential oils,

- aromachology, which comes from aromatherapy and studies how odours and aromas influence human behaviour,

- gemmotherapy, or therapy using tree and shrub buds, which contain the future plant’s embryonic tissues and all its vitality.

Since we were founded in 1954, Yon-Ka has been a pioneer in using these plant resources to help skin recover its ability to regain balance and beauty, and to promote authentic well-being.
