Update on the word "Intrapreneur"

Hello readers and followers of this blog, I have been corrected on the usage of the word Intrapreneur.

Before now, I was of the opinion (through a friend) that an Intrapreneur was an individual who expressed or displayed their entrepreneural capabilities by maintaining a personal business on the side while in paid employment; with their immediate work environment being their immediate target market.

Today I was informed that an intrapreneur focuses his/her
entrepreneurial activities towards enhancing their
present place of employment and not that they have
a side business. Please do not mix the use of the terminology
and get it wrong. If you are an employee and are
entrepreneurialy minded but do not focus such on your present form of employment, then you cannot
be referred to as an intrapreneur. Intrapreneurs are
usually found in departments such as Sales (where
they directly impact sales figures), Engineering
(where their technical skills lead to innovative
breakthroughs for the business), Accounting (where their forensic skills leads to savings for the business),
Business Analysts (where their forecasts leads to
strategic positioning for businesses) and other units
as well. If your innovative efforts lead to a direct
improvement for the business, then you can be
considered an intrapreneur, else, you're just another staff.

Please be guided. Thank you.

Do remember that we still seek resellers all over Nigeria (and beyond). Call Kenny on 08098190005 or 08059993591 and place your orders.

Are you an intrapreneur?

I borrowed this term from a friend. It refers to an entrepreneur-minded employee. There are a lot of such people around us today in our offices (and even schools).

An intrapreneur has the advantage of "back-up source of income" in the form of monthly salary while testing his/her hands at their passion/hobby.

A lot of people presently working in paid employment want to start their own business and work for themselves for different reasons. Some want more control of their time, others it's their cashflow while for some others, they just don't enjoy what they are doing anymore like they used to. Another group of people wish for the freedom to travel the world at a moment's notice without being held back by work-related responsibilities.

While all these reasons are valid, the "fear of the unknown" keeps a lot of people from pursuing their passions and living the life they have always craved.

Why don't you make a move in the direction of living life just as you have always wanted. Take up the challenge of being an intrapreneur to see if you are cut out for entrepreneurship.

We at Asantee Herbal Soaps would like to assist you to test your power of influence among your peers (at work, school, e.t.c.). We invite you to become a reseller of our products to see if you can actually handle your own business properly and profitably.

The plan is to have 10new resellers who will be given Asantee and Beauty Berry products at huge discounts for you to market within your circle of influence. You are free to set your own prices, we won't have any control over how you go about your sales and marketing.

If after one month, you do not get enough positive responses to make you want to continue with the business, or for any other reason whatsoever you do not want to go on, we will buy back all remaining products. No questions asked.

If you are interested in this offer, pls call Kenny on 08098190005 or 08059993591 or send a mail to asantee@designedmodules.com and you are good to go.

Goodluck in all your endeavours.

Tamarind - Uses and Natural Characteristics...

Tamarind is a perfect treatment for oily and acne prone skin due to antimicrobial properties. High in AHA, tamarind can also be used as an exfoliant to remove dead skin, lighten skin tone, and reduce the appearance of blemishes.


Since the natural pulp of tamarind is very acidic, the facial skin will be irritated if applied on directly. Therefore, tamarind extract in natural soap or liquid form may be more gentle. Nonetheless, natural tamarind can be combined and used on the body as a perfect body scrub. This will be perfect for those who are having problems with body acne, uneven skin tone, exposing ingrown hair, or getting rid of dead cells.

The power in Turmeric

Turmeric's healing properties have been speculated as helping certain skin problems such as acne, dry skin, psoriasis, chicken pox, rashes, and eczema. It is particularly effective for inflammatory skin problems because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

When turmeric is used in a cleanser formulation, it gives skin a healthy glow and over time will reduce hair growth and lighten the appearance of hair.

Turmeric also has antiseptic properties and therefore may be useful in treating pimples and minor skin infections, irritations, or burns.

Shea Butter - As wikipedia puts it...

Shea butter is a slightly yellowish or ivory-colored fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). It is widely used in cosmetics as a moisturizer, salve or lotion. Shea butter is edible and is used in food preparation in Africa.

 Occasionally the chocolate industry uses shea butter mixed with other oils, as a substitute for cocoa butter, although the taste is different.

The English word "shea" comes from s'í, the tree's name in the Bamana language of Mali.

 The French name karité comes from ghariti, its equivalent in the Wolof language of Senegal.

Shea butter is a triglyceride (fat) derived mainly from stearic acid and oleic acid.

 Butter extraction and refining

The traditional method of preparing unrefined shea butter consists of the following steps:

• Separating/cracking: The outer pulp of the fruit is removed. When dry, the nut, which is the source of shea butter, must be separated from the outer shell. This is a social activity, traditionally done by Women Elders and young girls who sit on the ground and break the shells with small rocks.
• Crushing: To make the shea nuts into butter, they must be crushed. Traditionally, this is done with mortars and pestles. It requires lifting the pestles and grinding the nuts into the mortars to crush the nuts so they can be roasted.
• Roasting: The crushed nuts are then roasted in huge pots over open, wood fires. The pots must be stirred constantly with wooden paddles so the butter does not burn. The butter is heavy and stirring it is hot, smoky work, done under the sun. This is where the slight, smoky smell of traditional shea butter originates.
• Grinding: The roasted shea nuts are ground into a smoother paste, water is gradually added and the paste is mixed well by hand.
• Separating the oils: The paste is kneaded by hand in large basins and water is gradually added to help separate out the butter oils. As they float to the top, the butter oils, which are in a curd state, are removed and excess water squeezed out. The butter oil curds are then melted in large open pots over slow fires. A period of slow boiling will remove any remaining water, by evaporation.
• Collecting and shaping: The shea butter, which is creamy or golden yellow at this point, is ladled from the top of the pots and put in cool places to harden. Then it is formed into balls.

Industrially, a mechanical sheller such as the Universal Nut Sheller may be used, although controversy over its usability with shea nuts is reported in that article. The refined butter may be extracted with chemicals such as hexane, or by clay filtering.

 Composition and properties

Shea butter extract is a complex fat that contains, besides many nonsaponifiable components (substances that cannot be fully converted into soap by treatment with alkali), the following fatty acids:oleic acid (40-60%), stearic acid (20-50%), linoleic acid (3-11%), palmitic acid (2-9%), linolenic acid(<1%) and arachidic acid(<1%).
Shea butter melts at body temperature and absorbs rapidly into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling^{[citation needed]}.

Uses

Shea butter soap.

Shea butter is mainly used in cosmetics, such as lip gloss moisturizer creams and emulsions, and hair conditioners for dry and brittle hair. It is also used by soap makers, typically in small amounts (5-7% of the oils in the recipe), because of its property of leaving a small amount of oil in the soap.

In Africa, shea butter is used for cooking oil, as a waterproofing wax, for hairdressing, for candle-making, and also as an ingredient in medicinal ointments. It is also used by makers of traditional African percussion instruments to increase the durability of wood (such as carved djembe shells), dried calabash gourds, and leather tuning straps.

Medicinal

Shea butter is used as a base for medicinal ointments. Some of the isolated chemical constituents are reported to have anti-inflammatory, emollient and humectant properties. Shea butter has been used as a sunblocking lotion and has a limited capacity to absorb ultraviolet radiation.

In Ghana, shea butter, locally known as nkuto (Akan) or nku (Ga) is used as lotion to protect the skin during the dry Harmattan season.

In Nigeria shea butter is used for the management of sinusitis and relief of nasal congestion. It is also massaged into joints and other parts of the body where pain is experienced.

 Classification

Some companies have suggested a classification system for shea butter separating it into five grades: A (raw or unrefined, extracted using water), B (refined), C (highly refined and extracted with solvents such as hexane), D (lowest uncontaminated grade), E (with contaminants). Commercial grades are A, B, C. The color of raw (grade A) butter ranges from cream (like whipped butter) to grayish yellow, and it has a nutty aroma which is removed in the other grades. Grade C is pure white.

While the level of vitamin content can be affected by refining, up to 95% of vitamin content can remain in refined grades (i.e. grade C) of shea butter while reducing contamination levels to non-detectable levels.
