Dubai Medical University (DMU) College of Pharmacy organized an enriching educational visit for fourth-year pharmacy students to L’Origine Cosmetics Manufacturing Factory in Sharjah on November 4, 2026, as part of the Fundamentals of Cosmetic Sciences course.

Under the supervision of Prof. Bazigha Abdul Rasool, Head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Course Coordinator, students participated in informative scientific sessions and hands-on laboratory training led by L’Origine’s cosmetic industry specialists. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to bridge theoretical knowledge with real-world industrial practices, offering firsthand insights into cosmetic and cosmeceutical manufacturing, including formulation and product development, quality control, quality assurance, and regulatory requirements.

Students also toured the manufacturing facilities, gaining practical exposure to production operations, raw material handling, storage facilities, water treatment systems, and quality control and assurance departments. This immersive experience enhanced their understanding of the journey of cosmetic products from initial concept and formulation to manufacturing and finished products.

DMU College of Pharmacy indeed extends its sincere appreciation to L’Origine Manufacturing and Nazih Group, particularly Eng. Zeinab Hamad, Dr. Bilal, and the entire L’Origine team, for their warm hospitality, excellent organization, and dedication to sharing their scientific knowledge and professional expertise with students.

Reflecting on the experience, Aya Mamoun Al Bakour, a fourth-year pharmacy student and class representative, shared:

“What I found most interesting about this visit was seeing how the things we learn in our lectures are actually applied in the cosmetics industry. It was exciting to see how a cosmetic product goes from an idea to a finished product and to learn directly from the specialists working in the field. As a fourth-year pharmacy student, this experience helped me see another side of pharmacy and made me more interested in the different career opportunities we can explore after graduation.”

By fostering meaningful connections between academia and industry, the College continues to prepare future pharmacists with the knowledge, practical skills, and broader professional perspectives needed to succeed in the evolving pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.
