The heart and soul of the brand is Quintessence, a healing blend of five essential oils that gives Yon-Ka products their signature fragrance while boosting their skin benefits.

The Top 8 Skin Benefits of Rosemary
Rosemary is a shrub that produces fragrant, evergreen leaves and pink, purple, white, or blue flowers. It’s a member of the sage family native to the Mediterranean region, valued for its medicinal and culinary uses. The name is derived from the Latin ros marinus which translates to “dew of the sea.”
The earliest reference to rosemary comes from cuneiform stone tablets dating back as early as 5000 BCE. The fragrant herb was used in ancient Egyptian burial rituals and made its way to the Americas by way of European settlers in the early 17th century.
The leaves of the rosemary plant are used for flavoring in culinary applications, particularly soups, stews, and roasted meats. Medicinally, rosemary has a history of use in resolving gastrointestinal stress, reducing pain and inflammation, and relieving stress and anxiety. Its woody, aromatic fragrance makes it popular for use in perfumery, cosmetics, and aromatherapy.
In skincare products, rosemary may provide the following benefits:
- Its gentle skin renewing properties may help unclog blocked pores to help prevent acne breakouts.
- Rosemary stimulates circulation to boost the flow of oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood to the skin, improving skin tone and texture.
- Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may help treat eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions.
- It is a natural astringent which may help remove impurities and excess oil from the surface of the skin.
- Rosemary may help reduce the appearance of pores and tighten the skin.
- The antioxidant properties of rosemary help protect against skin-aging antioxidant damage.
- Rosemary has natural diuretic properties which may help reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and puffiness.
Outside its medicinal benefits, rosemary has a long history of inclusion in folklore. The herb was considered sacred to the ancient Greeks and Romans and was used as a symbol of remembrance in funerals and war commemorations in Europe and Australia. Shakespeare also referenced rosemary in several plays including Hamletand Romeo and Juliet.

Not only does rosemary provide an invigorating aromatic boost to Yon-Ka Quintessence, but it is a powerful decongestant that helps purify and balance the skin. Rosemary is popular for use in anti-aging and anti-acne skincare products but can also help treat inflammatory skin conditions. For this reason, you will find it at the core of many Yon-Ka Paris professional treatments.
