Chantal began her lab research at the age of 16 as a student at UCLA studying biology and chemistry. After receiving her degree, her father convinced her to study law, but even as a law student she couldn't deny her passion for research. After receiving her law degree, she promptly returned to her research, and soon discovered Ethocyn, a substitute for the natural elastin content in skin.

Burnison used the substance to create Ethocyn Essence Serum, a concentrated solution used to counteract and prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Elastin is the substance that allows skin to "bounce back," but as people age the elastin content of their skin decreases. As Ethocyn Essence Serum penetrates the skin, it restores the elastin content of the skin to that of 20-year-old skin, and rejuvenates your skin to eliminate and prevent wrinkles.

Burnison began marketing Ethocyn Essence Serum and, along with her company, Chantal Pharmaceutical Corporation, began researching and developing an entire product line devoted to preventing and minimizing wrinkles at every step of the facial care process. Products the company developed include cleansers, masks, serum, eye cream, moisturizer, hand and body cream, body mist, and more.

Chantal Burnison quickly became a name to know in cosmetics, as both scientists and cosmetologists voiced the opinion that this line of Ethocyn products was one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs in anti-aging skin care products. To this day, Burnison's are some of the most trusted, effective anti-aging treatments on the market.
