Why YÙ BEAuTY?
PREMIUM QUALITY
MILLENNIUM OLD HEALTH TRADITION
YÙ is mandarin for jade and symbolizes the high-quality gemstones that are both the basis and the specialty of the YÙ series.
YÙ BEAUTY Stone Treatments combine the effective facial massage with the potent power of high-quality gemstones. The high quality of the gemstones is rare and makes the YÙ products so special.
Massage with precious stones has a tradition going back thousands of years: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) - one of the oldest medical systems in the world - mentions massage and lymphatic drainage with precious stones as a means of tui na (massage) around the 8 principles of TCM in the body to bring into balance.
The history of the Face Roller is also interesting: As a royal beauty secret, which dates back to the 7th century in Asia, it was only up to the rulers to care for and beautify their skin with precious stones, primarily jade.
YÙ has refined and reinterpreted this technique in a modern way:
YÙ BEAUTY facial rollers stimulate the skin with lymphatic drainage. This detoxifies and visibly improves the core structure and appearance.

THE GEMS
OUR RAW GEMSTONES - OUR VALUES
For YÙ, the quality of the raw gemstones and their processing is top priority.
All raw gemstones are extracted from the highest quality minerals in the mining areas:
Our jade
YÙ Jade is from Xiyuan Manchu, an area in which the
raw material is traditionally mined professionally .
Then this is with the know-how and care processed. YÙ jade in grade A +++ quality is not subjected to a chemical dyeing process,
nor are chemical polymer injections used.
Jade has a regenerating, cooling and supports the anti-aging effect lymphatic drainage.
Our rose quartz
South Africa is the mining area for YÙ rose quartz . The naturally intense rosy color is a quality feature. The varying color and structure variations are a sign of its naturalness .
Grade A +++ stone quality is processed purely manually and completely without the use of additives (natural or synthetic).
Sensitive, inflamed and pale skin particularly benefits from rose quartz.
Grade A +++ quality
Our stones are examined by gemmologists for the following characteristics:
COLOR
CLARITY
MARBLING
Only if these criteria are met, the stones are approved for the production:
As an example: The SiO2 content of our rose quartz and its cold-pink color are examined. Yellow colored veins or only very pale pink quartz veins have no grade A +++ quality and are therefore not used in our production.

THE TRADE
METHODS OF GEM TRADE
-
Almost exclusively one white label market
-
Brands usually haveno insight at all where their stones are obtained from and whether der procurement processis fair and free from child labour. It is often unclear whether real stones are used at all.
-
Many scooters on the market exist not real stones. Common materials are "reconstituted stones" (powders of quartz or minerals mixed with plastics for an appealing look and feel); glass or quartz, which withpolymers, paints and adhesivesare made to look and feel like gems.
-
The (precious) stone trade isnotoriously opaqueand unethical. It is mainly run by middlemen and groups who prefer to remain in the dark and only use the market as a way to make money.appreciate NGOsthat terrorist groups earn $2 million a year from stone trading.
