Dermacol

Dermacol is a Czech beauty company founded in Prague in 1966 by Olga Knoblochova at the Czechoslovak Institute of Medical Cosmetics, working in collaboration with makeup artists at the Barrandov Film Studios. The company's original product - a high-coverage theatrical makeup - eventually reached Hollywood studios by 1969 and established the brand's foundational identity as a high-performance cosmetics house. Ownership passed to the Czech family of Vladimir Komar and Vera Komarova in 1992, and from there the brand expanded beyond makeup into skincare, body care, and eventually fragrance. McBride plc, a British personal care manufacturer, later acquired a majority stake in the company, though the Komar family retains operational involvement. Today Dermacol sells in more than 60 countries. The fragrance line was developed in collaboration with Provence-based laboratories and introduced a range of modern eau de parfum compositions for women and men. The range is positioned at the mass-accessible tier, making quality formulations available at prices consistent with the broader Dermacol cosmetics line.
