Maison 276 started in Founder Angel Cornelius’ kitchen and has grown into a nationally recognized and distributed beauty brand!

Maison 276's founder Angel Cornelius with her line of hair and skincare products designed for gray and silver hair.

Angel Cornelius is a New Orleans native that grew up mixing beauty elixirs and concoctions in her kitchen. Her childhood love of creating products would prove useful in adulthood. After deciding to ditch chemical relaxers and toxic beauty ingredients in 2012, she became frustrated with the lack of products that were both effective and affordable.

 

Angel returned to the kitchen and started blending multi-purpose butters and creams. She formulated products with simple and pure ingredients that were also able to withstand all climates and temperatures without oily residue or stickiness.

 

She created her signature Pomegranate Kiss Body Butter that quickly went viral in her church community in Sugar Land, Texas. That body butter was eventually introduced to nearly 15,000 ESSENCE BeautyBox subscribers in 2016, which officially launched the brand and catapulted it to national recognition.

My "Big Chop", August 2013. After several months of 'transitioning', I cut my hair 2 hours before attending a black tie event!

This is the kitchen (and my beloved stand mixer!) where I created Maison 276’s first products.

Her follow-up launch to the popular body butters was the innovative Maison 276 3-Step System for Silver and Blonde Hair! This revolutionary system brightens and hydrates silver and blonde hair without the use of harsh purple dyes. Angel continues to develop and hand blend each new formula herself before taking it to the lab for mass production.
