13 Canadian Beauty Products More Lustworthy Than Drake

At the heart of Elizabeth Grant skin care is torricelumn, a mineral and vitamin-rich compound she created using ingredients harvested from underwater fronds. Though this discovery was Grant's original motivation for launching the brand, it has since developed into a blockbuster line including skin care, fragrance, beauty, and makeup products. There is a separate US site, making it especially easy to shop the Canada-owned brand from our neck of the woods.

Annabelle Cosmetics was launched almost 50 years ago and has since perfected the art of bright colors in its products.

To ship to the US, Isomers Laboratories offers a $10 FedEx flat-rate shipping fee from its Toronto location.

Marcelle brand toiletries were first produced in 1874 with a strong foundation in the basics of apothecary.
