On 16th of October 2024, the Czech Pharmaceutical Students’ Association organized an interesting lecture named “Pharmacy in cosmetics”. The topic of the lecture is very appealing, in my opinion, which is why many students chose to attend.
The presenter was the head of development department of Nobilis Tilia. She told us about the history of this company and provided a background about their products. Another topic of this lecture were so-called cosmeceuticals, a combination of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Towards the end, a competition was held, where participants could win various products from Nobilis Tilia. This was a great opportunity for them to try the products, which they had just learned something about. My overall impression was very positive, and I think I’m not the only one who gained new knowledge and inspiration for my future career.

The lecture was done in an interesting manner. It thoroughly explained how a cosmetic company works, what it deals with, and included real stories from laboratory or research settings. I think that every participant got something out of this lecture, whether from a theoretical or practical viewpoint. The duration of the lecture was just right. Facts were presented from the fields of chemistry, biology, but also history. I rate this event very positively and think it was a pleasant experience even for the male attendees.
