Our Tip
After use, place the soap on a soap dish to dry – extend its lifespan. When washing hair, after rinsing, use a short vinegar rinse (water + a bit of vinegar/lemon) for smoothing the hair. If you have very sensitive skin, first try a patch test on a small area.
How is Medarek Cosmetics Different from “Commercial” Offerings?
Medarek relies on short, understandable formulas with a high proportion of organic ingredients. Waterless ointments and balms are concentrated, without water preservatives or heavy fragrances, and zinc products use non-nano zinc oxide. Suitable for the whole family in daily care.
The formulas are based on organic shea and mango butter and organic vegetable oils; depending on the product type, they use beeswax or purely plant-based alternatives. The compositions do not contain parabens or artificial aromas. Thanks to the clean, minimalist composition, the products easily fit into the routine of the whole family, including sensitive children's skin.
The range for the whole family includes gentle natural soaps (e.g., Ghi soap with mandarin scent and Cumin soap), pure vegetable oils (e.g., Pineapple oil), and also natural deodorants (e.g., Zinc deodorant White Rose).
Who is Medarek Cosmetics for and How is it Used?
Medarek products are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, and mature. Thanks to the pure natural composition and gentle scent of essential oils, they are also ideal for pregnant women or people with allergies to synthetic fragrances.
Scents like lavender, citrus, or patchouli also have an aromatherapeutic effect – relieving tension, calming the mind, and promoting emotional balance.
Medarek also offers a wide range of products for children – from gentle ointments and balms to diaper rash care to gentle soaps and solid shampoos.
The cosmetics are easy to use – they are ready-to-use products that are applied directly to the skin or body. Thanks to the high concentration of active ingredients, only a small amount is needed.
Products like facial oils, cleansing balms, or nourishing ointments and balms are ideal for daily care rituals.

What Does This Mean for Your Skin?
Hemp Soap with Seaweed cleans gently and creamily, with rich foam and without unnecessary drying. Suitable for daily washing of hands and body, can also be used as a shampoo (we recommend a short vinegar rinse afterward). For the youngest children, the manufacturer primarily recommends washing with water; use soap as needed. After washing, gently moisturize sensitive areas.
Usage
- Lather in hands or on a soft washcloth, rinse with lukewarm water.
- After use, place the bar on a soap dish – let it dry, extending its lifespan.
- Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- For babies and very sensitive skin, start with a patch test on a small area; gently moisturize after washing.
Usage on Hair (Transition from Conventional Shampoos)
If your hair is used to shampoos with surfactants and silicones that smooth the hair fiber, it may take some time to adjust to natural washing with solid soap. Initially, hair may be rougher, less smooth, and you may feel a coating on the hair. Adaptation usually takes several days to weeks.
You can help with a vinegar rinse after washing your hair in a ratio of 1:1 (water: vinegar). You may then rinse your hair again with clean water – this balances the pH and smooths the hair.
Tip: When washing, thoroughly rinse your hair and spread the foam more on the scalp, gently “pull” the foam through the lengths during rinsing.
If the soap does not suit your hair, you can easily use it just for the body. It is really worth trying.
Warnings and Manufacturer Recommendations
- Storage and Shelf Life – store in a dry and dark place, ideally up to 25 °C. After use, place the soap on a soap dish to dry. Maximum shelf life is 18 months from production.
- Safe Use – avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. For newborns, primarily recommended to wash with water and use soap as needed; for very sensitive skin, perform a short patch test.

Who is Medarek?
It is a young family trying to live in harmony with nature. They are interested in health, beekeeping, mix their own cosmetics, like to take photos, brew their own beer and generally do many things their own way.
Lead developer - Lucie
... the driving force behind the whole family and the family "business" is Lucka, who has only limited knowledge about bees, but a greater understanding of the honey bee business.
Lucka graduated with a Master's degree in special education with a focus on speech therapy, surdopedics and specific learning disorders at Masaryk University. For five years she worked as a teacher in a speech therapy class in a kindergarten, but eventually fate took her in a completely different direction.
Some ask her if she regrets spending her time studying at college now that she's devoting her time to mixing ointments. However, she feels grateful to be her own boss (unless her son Vasik or daughter Helenka is in charge at home :)), and to be able to bring joy with her products.
It warms her heart to see that her zinc ointment helps little babies with skin problems, and she enjoys the idea of wedding guests enjoying the honey she has decorated at night.
Photographer - Standa
...he is not only the head of the family, but also a court photographer and a passionate beekeeper who is not only interested in bees and honey, but also makes his own homemade mead and beer. His genius idea was the popular wedding teddy bears :) .
Standa graduated from an industrial secondary school with a focus on mechanical engineering and after almost three years of working in the workshop he became a designer, where he spent the next 12 years. He left for work each workday with the hope that he would soon be able to stay home with his family.
And now his dream has finally come true! Standa is now probably the real driving force behind medarek.cz, where he takes care of operations, cooking, packing shipments and lovingly devotes himself to children. As a model husband, he doesn't shy away from the simple chores :).
In his spare time, he enjoys capturing nature, people, bees and sometimes his family on his camera. When he needs to stretch his stiff body, he happily reaches for his bike and heads out into the countryside.
