1954
Established in 1954, Yon-Ka stands as a quintessential French brand, a creation fueled by the botanical ardor of the Mühlethaler family. Visionaries Cécile, Ernest, and Charles Mühlethaler founded Laboratoires Multaler, pioneering aromatherapy and phytotherapy with ancestral knowledge guarded among a select few in the scientific and medical realm.
Rooted in a fascination for the delicate aromas of plants and sun-energized essential oils, the Mühlethaler family meticulously tested the cleansing, healing, and mood-altering properties on themselves and their cherished ones. Initially crafted for medical use by physiotherapists, their debut products marked the genesis of a transformative journey.
A pivotal moment arose in their exploration with the birth of Quintessence—a harmonious fusion of five essential oils from the Mediterranean region, forever imprinting the signature of their illustrious phyto-aromatic brand.
