Elizabeth Arden
Originally named Florence Nightingale Graham, was born in Canada in 1878.
Grew up with her father, sisters and brother.
Her early career was nursing in Toronto.
However she knew there was something bigger for her life.
As a nurse and a visionary she foresaw burn creams and skin salves not just as medicine, but with the potential to be beauty creams and lotions.
She began to take over her kitchen at home as a laboratory, and experimented with various ingredients, in her search for the perfect beauty cream. Eventually she moved to New York, met a chemist and continued her work creating the best creams she could.
