Elizabeth Grant

    Founder

    Elizabeth Grant is the founder and face of Elizabeth Grant Skin Care. She created the company in 1948, a time when it was unusual for women to run a business. Her determination, perseverance, and the miraculous blend of Torricelumn™ have built Elizabeth Grant Skin Care into the global sensation it is today. 

    Elizabeth Grant was not always the television personality and skin care icon she is today. Born in England, Elizabeth worked as a makeup artist in London where she worked on some of the most famous faces at the time, including Vivien Leigh, Sean Connery and Noel Coward. 

    In 1945 she suffered severe damage to her face from a bomb blast, an event that shattered her self-confidence. After trying it all in the hopes of restoring her skin, she found a natural substance used to treat war wounds. She commissioned a special serum including this substance and applied it to her damaged skin. After a few months, her skin improved remarkably. Elizabeth stopped hiding and started living again.

    She knew she was onto something when her clients started complimenting her skin. When she shared samples of this miraculous blend, people came back with healthier skin and asked for more. A few years later in 1948, Elizabeth launched Elizabeth Grant Skin Care to share with more people this miraculous blend that healed her skin, Torricelumn™.

    More About Elizabeth Grant

    Initially, she sold her products on select luxury retailers, but it wasn’t until she entered The Shopping Channel that thousands more women discovered Elizabeth Grant Skin Care. Her friendly personality made Elizabeth a hit on The Shopping Channel, where she talks to “her girls” and shares her skin care secrets. 

    Even after 75+ years, Elizabeth continues to share the miracles of Torricelumn™ with the world.
