Dermacol is a Czech personal care company founded in 1966 in Prague. It is the leading Czech manufacturer and seller of make-up and decorative and skin cosmetics. In the 1960s, the company introduced one of the first make-up covers in Europe and in the world in general. [2]
Olga Knoblochová (1933–2023) from the Czechoslovak Institute of Medical Cosmetics was behind the expansion of the first make-up Dermacol, as well as Barrandov Film Studios, where they developed it and manufactured it until the 1990s. [3] The word "Dermacol" became synonymous with make-up in general in then Czechoslovakia. The name originated from the Latin words derma (skin) and color = Dermacol. [4]
In 1969, the film studios in Hollywood bought a license and produced licensed high cover makeup from Dermacol. [5] The Dermacol line was then expanded by care cosmetics, make-up removers, body care products and cosmetics intended for all skin types. Dermacol Make-up Cover is still produced today, with around 3,000,000 pieces sold annually worldwide. [6]
Dermacol is a family company today. It consists of a Czecho-Slovak couple – Věra Komárová, together with her husband Vladimír Komár, who have owned and managed the company since 1992. Today, the Dermacol brand is carried by about a thousand products, of which about 15 products have been manufactured according to the original recipe for more than 50 years. It is on sale in more than 70 countries. [1]
Cosmetics are constituted mixtures of chemical compounds derived from either natural sources, or synthetically created ones. Cosmetics have various purposes. Those designed for personal care and skin care can be used to cleanse or protect the body or skin. Cosmetics designed to enhance or alter one's appearance (makeup) can be used to conceal blemishes, enhance one's natural features, add color to a person's face, or change the appearance of the face entirely to resemble a different person, creature or object. Due to the harsh ingredients in makeup products, individuals with acne-prone skin are more likely to suffer from breakouts. Cosmetics can also be designed to add fragrance to the body.

The history of cosmetics spans at least 7,000 years and is present in almost every society on earth. Cosmetic body art is argued to have been the earliest form of a ritual in human culture. The evidence for this comes in the form of utilised red mineral pigments including crayons associated with the emergence of Homo sapiens in Africa. Cosmetics are mentioned in the Old Testament—2 Kings 9:30 where Jezebel painted her eyelids—approximately 840 BC—and the book of Esther describes various beauty treatments as well.
