The Bulgarian Association of Cosmetologists has won the 2019 Lester Conrad Educational Prize and will be attending the IFSCC Milan Conference to accept their prize. They will be delivering two high-quality lectures a year between 2020-2022 on a variety of topics of interest to their Membership, including the use of Bulgarian plants in cosmetics.

IFSCC Secretary General Mary Lynn Halland called Dr Krastanka Marinova on 5 August 2019 to deliver the good news. Dr Marinova said: “The Bulgarian Society is very grateful to have this funding. We will now be able to carry out three years of wonderful seminars and, hopefully, build our Membership. Thank you IFSCC.”
