Linda Marshall, president and CEO of Wisconsin-based Elysee Scientific Cosmetics announced today that in addition to celebrating its 38th year in Wisconsin and its 12th year of Home Shopping Network success this month, the company is also commemorating its 90th year in business.

"How many cosmetic companies can you name that have been around for 90 years?" asks Linda Marshall, President of Elysee Scientific Cosmetics. "Elysee has always brought tomorrow's technology today to keep us looking younger than our years."

Founded on proven and reliable European formulas, Elysee has been providing high-quality special treatment products for 90 years. The first product, a hand cream, was developed by Elysee Founder, Dr. Elizabeth "Elysee" Blumenthal, in 1923. Dr. Blumenthal's expertise in the skincare field was even sought after by the U.S. Government, and she was sent to assist medical doctors in the Pacific solve the skin problems of their troops.

The Company was brought to the United States in 1940 and purchased by Marshall in 1972. Marshall was dedicated to assuring that the quality, integrity and innovation of a great skin care company would continue. Elysee manufactures, develops, fills and ships their own products, as well as several private label products for other companies, including doctors and celebrities and Marshall personally oversees the quality of every product.

Elysee takes pride in being on the cutting edge of skin care technology. The company introduced Royal Jelly, grapeseed, wine extract, AHA's, olive oil, botanicals, and vitamins A, D and E, into the product line as early as 1940. Originally, Elysee was available exclusively through salons where the rich and famous demanded only the best.

As a family-owned and operated business, Elysee continues today to be visionaries in the introduction of important skincare breakthroughs, such as:

ESCoDerm: A proprietary complex of active peptides to enhance skin comfort, helps reduce the phenomena of microtensing and visibly smoothes expression lines. Contains a cosmetic active that acts as a messenger for the senses, helping to enhance the skin's comfort and the well-being potential of your skin. A non-aggressive alternative to botox that helps combat expression wrinkles, while not as dramatic as the medical procedure, this complex provides fabulous beauty benefits.

ESCollag: An Elysee Exclusive peptide and algae complex which selectively boosts synthesis of collagen III, stimulates the formation of collagen-1, detoxifies the skin from free radicals, and protects cells from photodamage and oxidative stress. This currently is the only peptide complex on the market that boosts collagen III production by 300% in just one week.
