Celmira Amade builds vegan beauty wonder product in the UK To revolutionise skincare For Melanin-rich skin

When Celmira Amade came to study International Business at Royal Holloway University of London in 2010, she was not quite ready for the impact of the English climate. As a result, her skin suffered from blemishes, dryness and uneven tone almost overnight. After spending time and energy searching across mainstream UK beauty stores and still not finding anything natural and designed specifically for melanin-rich skin, she eventually settled for makeup as a temporary solution.
It was not until she was offered a “skin bleaching” cream in a local independent beauty shop that Celmira realised she really had to do something. Makeup was no longer the solution and skin bleaching was definitely not an acceptable alternative.
After a year of hesitation, Celmira Amade took the entrepreneurial leap to influence the concept of beauty products for melanin-rich skin tones, by using the ancient Mozambican beauty recipes of her grandmother to launch TSAKA.  TSAKA (with a silent T, pronounced SAKA,) means happiness in the Ronga dialect of Mozambique and this journey has certainly led this young businesswoman to discover the true meaning of happiness.

The TSAKA facemask is the first product in the skincare line and is set to take the melanin rich skincare world by storm. This highly effective wonder product is formulated with rare plant extracts from the Olacaceae family that are only found in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Madagascar – and it is the first beauty line in the UK to use this ingredient extensively. The mask has high anti-inflammatory and smoothening properties that minimise post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is a serious issue in melanin-rich skins. It also deep cleans, detoxifies and smoothens the skin without clogging your pores. But the real wonder of the TSAKA facial lies on its preservative free formula, boasting a one-year period after opening shelf life.
This is the first time that the beauty and science behind Mozambique’s extraordinary flora will be used in a major beauty line. As a vegan skincare company launching its first product for melanin-rich skin, TSAKA pays tribute to time-tested traditional African beauty recipes – pushing the boundaries of possibilities in natural beauty.
Today, Celmira splits her time in England completing her studies in the University of Cambridge and managing TSAKA’s production and brand development. She regularly travels to Mozambique to visit her suppliers in isolated islands and in the remote countryside. This hands-on commitment allows this dynamic young businesswoman to ensure that only the purest ingredients are used in the TSAKA collection. TSAKA begins its journey with a commitment to leverage 2% of its profits to achieve beautiful things in the communities where the ingredients are sourced. Utilising beauty as a platform to sprinkle happiness and create thriving communities, by providing farmers with the necessary harvesting equipment, and their children with personalised academic support and mentorship to also succeed in secondary school and beyond.

Cockroach milk four times as nutritious as cow milk – Scientists

Some scientists have made a stunning discovery leading to the propagation that “not only is cockroach milk fast becoming a part of our food chain and diet, it’s even referred to as the super food of the future.” National Daily  gathered that an international team of scientists from the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem) in Bangalore, India, recently discovered the structure of milk protein crystal from the guts of a cockroach species, leading to their conclusion that “It’s more than four times as nutritious as cow’s milk and it could be the key to feeding their growing population in the future.” Leonard Chavas, one of the scientists behind the research and his colleagues examined the species, also known as  Diploptera punctata,  which is the only specie of cockroach known to be viviparous, able to bring forth live babies that have developed within the mother’s body, instead of the mother laying eggs to develop outside her body.

Arguably the most used face for Memes on Social Media in Nigeria, Nollywood Actor, Odunlade Adekola recently had a chat with Punch, and he opened up on his child, career, high rate of domestic violence in relationships/marriage and more. Read Below. Can you recall how you started your acting career? I used to act very well in church and people loved it whenever I came on stage. Even before I mounted the stage, people would already be screaming in excitement and the cleric would then have to caution them so that everybody could hear what I had to say. It was the interest and love that people had for me that motivated me to take acting serious. Meanwhile, there was a friend of mine who we used to act together and go about performing in churches. He was part of a group that used to meet for rehearsals somewhere close to where I lived. One day, he told the members of his group that he had a friend who could act. They told him to invite me and when I got there, they asked me if
