ABOUT TIABELE

Tiabele takes its name from Tiébélé, a village on the border of Ghana and Burkina Faso, where homes are hand-painted by Kassena women using earth, water, and centuries-old artistry.

These sacred spaces, part of the Royal Court, are more than homes. They are expressions of beauty, pride, and ancestral wisdom passed down through generations.

In the Kassena language, Tiébélé means a place of peace, rest, and belonging. That same energy lives in everything we curate at Tiabele — intentional, rooted, and deeply connected to culture.

Intentional care. Rooted in tradition. Backed by expertise.

We source high-integrity skincare, makeup, and wellness products from African and Diaspora-led brands—alongside select global innovators who share our values. Every item is chosen with intention: for what it does, and what it stands for.

Founded by a physician who grew up on Ghanaian culture and is trained in clinical care and research, Tiabele is where ancestral wisdom meets modern standards of safety, efficacy, and care.

- No sulfates, parabens, or hydroquinone

- Rooted in traditional ingredients, guided by science

- Diaspora-led. Skin-tone inclusive. Always intentional.

I created Tiabele to make space for the kind of beauty I believe in—intentional, informed, and rooted. My background is in science and clinical care. My perspective is cultural. Tiabele is both.

Every product is thoughtfully chosen for its safety, performance, and connection to African heritage. This is beauty that honors rich traditions while embracing the best of modern care.

No matter your shade, story, or skin type—there’s room for you here.
