Elevating African Beauty Through Science By Grace Abamba

The Society of Cosmetic Scientists
Nigeria, NICOS, is a professional community for cosmetic scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs that was established to promote and encourage education, research and sustainable growth of the Nigerian cosmetics and personal care market worldwide.

“Working with likeminded organisations, ‘Elevating African Beauty through Science’ is our ultimate mission at NICOS.” Co-founders Grace Abamba and Olusola Ojo.

On Thursday 8 July at 4pm Nigeria time (GMT+1), the official NICOS Launch Conference takes place online and is supported by our sponsors, BASF, REDA and SYMRISE. We have an engaging line up of prominent speakers to give an excellent insight to the Nigerian cosmetics industry from key perspectives, namely research and development with Gbenga Showole from P&G, regulatory matters with Prince Nsofor from NAFDAC, academia with Professor Olayinka Asekun from University of Lagos and product safety testing with consultant, Dr Mabel Iwobi.

The presentations will be followed by a live panel discussion with the speakers, joined by Mr Ikpong Imoh, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria. Perhaps you want to create your own product range, or you are unsure about how to get your products safety tested or to get them registered; you may be interested in undertaking research of new cosmetic ingredients. This is an amazing opportunity for registered delegates to ask their important questions directly to our special guests who will be in the same virtual room!
