Y combines the luxury normally associated with prestige European brands with the wisdom of ancient healers in a range that is like no other. It takes natural and organic into the 21st Century, with luxurious skincare and haircare that really works and is not compromised by the presence of questionable chemicals.
Bulgarian Rose Otto is Y’s signature ingredient - moisturising, healing, regenerative and long recognised as the essential oil that is the single-most beneficial for skin. It is very expensive, requiring steam distillation of up to five tons of fresh, dawn-harvested certified organic rose petals to make just one litre of this precious oil.
Y contains many other ingredients that have been known for thousands of years for their natural skin benefits. For example, since ancient times, Frankincense has been highly prized, used as a tonic in rejuvenating masks and in facial oils to protect and fortify ageing skin. Similarly for Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha), long used for its healing, soothing and restoring action as treatment for chapped and cracked skin. Rosalina and other members of the Myrtaceae (Tea Tree family) have been used by Aboriginal people for traditional medicines since ancient times.
