Elizabeth Grant Skincare Products

Written by Treasure Seeker Colleen

For the past month I have been lucky enough to try out four products from this excellent line. Made in Canada, these skin care products are from Elizabeth Grant Skincare, Toronto, Ontario and Shontiva Int. LTD in London. They are available in Rome, London and Paris as well. I tried each product for one week exclusively and definitely look much better for the experience. My favourite is Torricelumn Intensive Vitamin C Hand & Nail Cream. The 100 ml (3.5 fl. oz.) butter yellow tube is just right for your hand and has an easy pop off lid and is easy to apply. I found it to be exactly as described: intensely hydrating, rich and non greasy. It has a pleasant but not overly perfumed scent. Twice a day for a week made a big difference to hands and nails and also to feet and toe nails. My nails developed strength and shine and cuticles immediately softened. I will continue to use this product and will look for it locally.


Elizabeth Grant International Inc. was established in 1958 and I would like to see more advertising around these products as they are very effective. The Biocollasis Complex with Torricelumn promises "Total Regeneration". It is an eye fill concentrate and its 15 ml (5 fl. oz.) container is a golden slim one with a push top that dispenses a cool blue non-perfumed cream that does lessen lines. Applied morning and night, it is soothing and refreshing. The pump means that nothing leaks or spills and the blue colour easily distinguishes it from other cosmetics so there is no possibility of confusion. This product does "get into your skin" and quickly disappears, leaving eyes brighter and lines diminished.

The last two products I sampled are two tubes of light cream: The Socializer. While I like the concept of "Bright Lights "- Eye Treatment for night and day, I had difficulty with the pump action of the dispenser - it took ages to get the cream out. I do feel that the two tubes in one container is intended to be efficient but is over packaged. The tubes are contained in a cardboard container which is silvery bright and attractively designed but is unnecessary as the tubes are similarly decorated. There is also a double sided descriptive insert which could be written on the tubes instead of being extra packaging. This product also does what it promises: it is soothing, de-puffing, dark circle brightening and cooling. Still, I prefer the Biocollasis Complex for its colour, efficient packaging and rich texture.

People are asking me what I am doing differently and I am telling them that the Elizabeth Grant Skincare line is a winner!
