About Grace Abamba FRSA MRSC FSCS

Principal Consultant Cosmetics & Quality Management | Educator | Charity Trustee | Founder & President Society of Cosmetic Scientists Nigeria | NICOS

I have spent most of my career developing and launching amazing consumer products, including cosmetics, with quality, compliance, and consumer safety at the heart of every project. Whether products are manufactured for the mass market or the premium end, they must be safe, legal and produced ethically for the consumer.
 

Improved product compliance helps brand owners to avoid the pitfalls of excessive product testing, product withdrawals and recalls that can ultimately damage trust in their brand. 
 

Over recent years, my experience in project and supplier management has been well utilised in the development and management of accredited safety and quality Standards. As a qualified lead auditor and educator, I have audited many factories, created and delivered training courses to a variety of stakeholders including qualified factory auditors.

Testimonials

Grace is a very knowledgeable person in her field and her support and constructive advice during the time we worked together was much appreciated. She is very amiable, well organised and professional, and always willing to help and would be an asset to any team. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.
John Murphy, Sales Manager
We have learned many things from Grace. Her professional knowledge and cordial approach made us feel welcome and helped meet EU and UK regulations.
Irina Tatishvili, Executive Vice President at BIONOVA
I have worked with Grace quite a few times. The subject matter was often technical, urgent and safety related. I always found Grace very willing to listen and take on board the facts before moving forward to action. I found her to be methodical and considered in her approach, whilst remaining very commercially aware at the same time. Very much a calm in a storm.
Tess Lawrence, Retail Trading Standards Manager
Grace and my paths have crossed many times over the years, as retail technical managers and as members of the SCS. I have always found Grace to be professional and personable. Her knowledge of cosmetics formulation, legislation and GMP is excellent as she is highly experienced in these areas. She is a great person to ask about anything "cosmetic".
