Elizabeth Grant was born in London, England. She has lived in England, Scotland, South Africa, Monte Carlo and Canada.
Elizabeth established her company, Elizabeth Grant Int. Inc in 1958 in London, England at a time when it was most unusual for women to be in business. Through sheer determination and exceptional perseverance she was responsible for the development of the company from a home based business to a multi-million dollar global corporation.
Elizabeth did not always have the flawless skin she has today. Her skin was damaged during the Second World War. She used to walk around with dark glasses and tried to avoid people because of how self conscious she felt about her appearance. All that changed in 1948 when Elizabeth read about a substance that was being used to treat war wounds. After having this made up for her, Elizabeth noticed that within 8 months her skin started to show signs of a remarkable improvement. The glasses came off and she started living again!
At the time Elizabeth was working as a make up artist. When she noticed one of her favourite clients was suffering from bad skin as a result of years of heavy makeup use, Elizabeth offered a sample of the formula she was using. Within 10 days the client asked for more. When Elizabeth saw her 6 weeks later, she knew that this formula could help others. She decided to develop her own skin care treatment line that contained a secret formula she called Torricelumn.
