YS Laboratories, Inc.

YS Laboratories is the only skin care company that employs the innovative, patented technology derived from a natural herbal extract of the Yerba Santa plant. Yerba Santa (aka bearsweed, holy herb or mountain balm) is a plant indigenous to the foothills of the Pacific Northwest, and has been used as an herbal remedy by many Native American tribes for centuries. It contains mucopolysaccharides, which mimic the glycoproteins in normal mucosa, and holds the aqueous component in contact with the tissue. Yerba Santa has been incorporated into all of YS Labs' OTC products and helps give them enhanced moisturizing and lubricating properties.
