Full text of my Brand Spotlight on qeturah.com. I am so pleased and excited about this and the prospect of expanding my business and creating further awareness. I feel so blessed.
So, today has been an exciting day for me because it began with an interview at Kiss fm Lagos. It was such a fun experience because I met great people today at Kiss fm that made my interview so worthwhile – thank you Mr Kayode and Mr Ayodele. You know how they say that in business, you have to move with the right crowd? Well, am a testament to that because that was what qeturah.com did for me. I recently started showcasing my natural products on the unique ecommerce platform for made in Nigeria goods and it has been a great adventure. qeturah.com fostered my radio interview and honored me with a brand spotlight on their website as well all in one day.

For nearly ten years, I have abstained from feeding my kids with heavily processed foods and foods that have been stripped of its natural qualities like baby cereal. Though fancy the packaging, I have always been more interested in the quality of foods that I feed my kids especially at the weaning stage when my kids turned 6 months and needed to be introduced to cereal meals. I remember being advised by those around me to introduce my baby to pap, which is a cereal gruel for babies and adults alike but after haven raised by a mother who taught me the importance of fibers and eating whole grains, I found pap very distasteful.
And here is why: Pap is a cereal gruel made from maize, millet or guinea corn (sorghum) and while it is good that it passes through a stage of fermentation, which is important in baby foods to enhance the nutritive value of food, it is also distasteful that the natural fiber of these whole grains are sifted and discarded, leaving the baby to eat only the whitish remains of the grains. The best part of the grain, which is the natural fiber found in the brown outer shell is usually discarded in the desire to have a very smooth paste that would not irritate the child.
Sadly, giving a child pap to drink is like giving the child nothing at all because pap is “characterized by low protein, low energy density, and high bulk…” (Onofiok & Nnanyelugo), which both authors studied to be responsible for malnutrition in children during the weaning period.
knowing this, I created a recipe that has stood the test of time! – Ene Naturals organic baby food.
How is this different from other baby food?
My recipe is made from hundred percent organic whole grains sourced from local farmers within Nigeria; the organic baby food is made free of added sugars, free of preservatives and free of additives. The process of making this organic baby food includes retaining every fiber in the grain and making the food from 100 percent whole grains – we throw nothing away! It also passes through a process of fermentation which “enhances the nutritive value of food by increasing thiamine, nicotinic acid, riboflavin, and perhaps protein content as a result of microbial activity” (Onofiok & Nnanyelugo).
The organic baby food is also made with peanuts (groundnut) and sweet potatoes to further improve the nutritive value of the food. Because wet milling, as the case with pap, reduces the nutritional value of baby foods like pap, our organic baby food is milled dry and packed in powders. As such, the food is nutrient rich in energy, carbohydrates, dietary fibers, trace fat, Omega 3 & 6, protein, Vitamin A, B6, B1, B3, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium and zinc.
We have adopted simple packaging…
In our bid to stay organic, we have adopted simple packaging, which also helps to keep the price low and affordable as well.
At the moment, we have three variants of the Ene Naturals organic baby food:
We officially launched the baby foods last week and we are already selling and shipping out!

Talk about binge watching on Netflix. So I started watching Friends from College today and couldn’t leave my seat! I was so hooked! So I finished all eight episodes all at once 😀
This show is funny, it is so real and brilliantly written. It just shows how life really is. The show started with enthusiastic and happy old college friends wrapped up in their college past and simply happy to relieve the past in the present. I like the way the story unravels to depict the realities surrounding the characters and how life brought them to different unpleasant junctures.
The cast was fantastic and the chemistry was so real. Am actually looking forward to subsequent season.
If you haven’t seen it, go watch it. It’s great for a pleasant lazy day cozying up on the sofa to a glass of Chardonnay 😉
Cheers 🍻
So we create and stock a wide variety of natural skincare products for all different skin types and skin concerns; but we are heavily bespoke because the process of interacting with clients through free consultation and customizing unique products tailored to a client’s individual needs have actually helped us grow and expand pretty fast. Every client wants to be given that personal touch that is lacking in our fast-paced markets and especially in the area of skincare where clients have different skin types and skin concerns like allergies and what is tolerable.
Our bespoke natural skincare services begin with free consultation which allows us to gather information about the client’s past skincare regime, allergies if any and much more. At the end of the consultation, either we recommend one of our generic products or we customize. What I personally find interesting is that clients want the best for their skin and are happy when you meet their satisfaction.
Customizing skincare products sometimes can involve tweaking the ingredients in a generic product to suit the individual needs of a client or to create a brand new product entirely. Sometimes it is about changing the texture and packaging of our products. Take this one below for an example:
This product originally is a lotion in a jar and while the client loved the goodness that this product provides, she does not like lotions. So she had us change the texture from a light weight lotion to a much thicker cream in a tub.
Similarly, these two above have been tweaked as well. The Collagen+ Lightening anti aging soap originally comes in a tub and is made with goat milk while the cream is usually packaged in a smaller tub and made with goat milk as well. For this client, we switched the goat milk for pure coconut milk, changed some ingredients; packaged the soap in a 500ml jar rather than a 250ml tub while the cream was packaged in a 250ml tub rather than in a 100ml tub.
Bespoke services can be challenging but very exciting and positively challenging because your goal is a happy customer.
At Ene Naturals, customer satisfaction is our ultimate goal so if you want our bespoke services, contact us today for free consultation.
Cheers!
I have a penchant for wanting to control the sourcing of all natural ingredients used in my natural skincare products. As a natural skincare brand, being sincere through and through in the quality of ingredients I use is very important to me and the reason why my brand is consistently rising at a healthy pace.
In the regard, I went to a turmeric farm to source fresh turmeric myself. I went through the rigors of sorting, cleaning, washing, shredding, drying, milling and packaging just because I wanted to give my clients the best natural products or ingredients that they deserve. The process of making turmeric powder is rigorous but I am happy with the final result.
Turmeric powder is great for the skin, hair and general health. I use turmeric with warm water and honey to treat cough as well as use it in cooking. Turmeric contains anti-inflammatory properties so it helps reduce scarring, wrinkles, acne, rash and other skin issues. It can be used as an exfoliator (scrub), cleanser and mask.
You can purchase this product online from the organic store on this website.

Hi guys,
I recently changed my business name, blogging name, including blog address and social handles from Bronzegoddess NG to ENE Naturals as part of rebranding my business and my personality. I am now a full fledged organic skincare formulator and while my makeup services remain the same, my beauty therapy services are now completely natural.
I am an ardent advocate of all things natural, including natural medicines so by adopting my new name, I am expressing appropriately who I really am and what my beliefs are.
Though the name has changed, the contents of this blog and what I represent remains the same. You will still receive posts on makeup, skincare and hair; but I will be including more interesting posts on organic skincare and all things natural.
Thank you for letting me be a part of you all these years.
Cheers!
Ene
