Angel's Essence is a black-owned business specializing in homemade natural skin and hair products. It began at the home of founder Tenesha McCulloch. Tenesha's primary aim at the origin of the brand was to help herself and several other family members who had dry, sensitive skin. This company specializes in homemade natural skin and hair products that are made for those types of skin issues. McCulloch created the creme for her nephew and goddaughter, who both have eczema. She then produced another version for her dry skin. Living in Las Vegas, one cannot go a day without moisturizing and many store lotions don't do the trick. The company is currently located in Atlanta, but operates from both Atlanta and Las Vegas. All its products are handmade with sensitive skin at the forefront of its creations. McCulloch created Angels' Essence with clients' skin and hair in mind.
