Launched in January 2021, the Yanxi Palace star's botanical skincare brand Grail Skin sold out its entire inventory in four days
Face masks were a hit in 2020. And we're not talking about the kind that deals with respiratory hygiene, but those that moisturise your face and steal the spotlight in your #spaday bathrobe-clad Instagram posts. Coincidentally, 2020 was also the year that Malaysia-born actor Lawrence Wong realised his dream of starting his own skincare brand, Grail Skin, championing sustainability through multifunctional and gender-neutral botanical skincare suitable for all ages and skin types.
In an Instagram post announcing the news of the soon-to-launch brand back in December 30, 2020, Wong shared: "No, I did not take the easy path by lending my name to an existing skincare line or company; I started Grail from scratch and formulated the products on my own."

Grail's best-selling item is the Do-It-All face mask, which contains eco-certified and organic ingredients such as African aloe vera and Argentine jojoba oil. The mask boosts the skin's radiance while delivering anti-aging benefits, skin firming, hydration and detoxification. Made from a biodegradable non-woven nano filament material that's patented in Japan, the Do-It-All face mask is gentle on sensitive skin.

Wong, who is known for his radiant skin and flawless complexion, spent much of his free time in lockdown during Singapore's circuit-breaker period working hard with his business partner to launch Grail's online store which offers international shipping (with free shipping to Singapore and Malaysia for orders above S$200).
