Our Story
The Heart Behind El Tenny™
El Tenny™ was born from a deeply personal journey—a journey of healing, resilience, and transformation. In 2021, our founder, Kimberly Warren, created El Tenny™ in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, with a mission to share the therapeutic power of aromatherapy and self-care with the world.
The name El Tenny™ is more than just a brand—it is a tribute to Kimberly’s beloved father, Elliot Tennyson Carmichael. During his battle with cancer, Kimberly turned to essential oils to help ease his pain, provide comfort, and create a sense of peace. Witnessing how these natural remedies soothed his body and mind, she discovered the profound impact of aromatherapy.
But her journey with essential oils didn’t stop there. Kimberly also found healing through aromatherapy in her own life, using it to manage stress, relieve anxiety, and regain balance. Inspired by both personal experience and a passion for holistic wellness, she set out to help others find the same relief, tranquility, and self-care that had supported her and her father.
Thus, El Tenny™ was born—an independent, Black-owned organic aromatherapy company dedicated to creating healing, plant-based products for the body, mind, and soul.
Today, El Tenny™ offers a luxurious collection of handcrafted products, including aromatherapy candles, essential oil-infused skincare, bath & spa essentials, and mindfulness tools. Each product is thoughtfully formulated with clean, organic ingredients to promote relaxation, ease stress, and support emotional and physical well-being.
At El Tenny™, we believe that self-care is not a luxury—it is a necessity. Our mission is to help you create intentional moments of peace in your daily routine, so you can show up as the best version of yourself.
✨ Because when you care for your soul, you create a healthier tomorrow. ✨
