Why we included Medarek in the PraveBio.cz range
Medarek is a Czech family brand that handcrafts natural cosmetics for sensitive and children's skin. It works with quality plant oils and simple, transparent formulations without unnecessary ingredients and synthetic fragrances. Its products are gentle, pure, and focused on functional care.
Medarek – Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek” – gentle hair washing from birth
Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek” is designed for washing children’s hair from birth as well as adult hair. Unlike many liquid drugstore shampoos – including plenty of “kids” formulas based on harsh chemistry – it doesn’t rely on aggressive synthetic surfactants or heavy fragrance. Instead, it’s built on mild cleansing agents, botanical powders, linden hydrosol, and nourishing oils.
The combination of a gentle coconut-derived cleanser, soapnut powder, and arrowroot provides effective yet delicate cleansing for hair and scalp. It creates a creamy lather that rinses out easily, leaving hair feeling clean, light, and naturally shiny.
Organic apricot oil, linden hydrosol, and rice protein are key for scalp comfort—helping to gently soften hair and support the skin’s protective barrier. Many of the hero ingredients are in organic quality, which parents especially appreciate for little ones with sensitive skin.
A small amount goes a long way: simply glide the shampoo bar over wet hair a few times, lather, and rinse. After washing, hair typically detangles easily and doesn’t feel limp or weighed down, making it a great match for fine children’s hair.
Lavender essential oil gives the bar a soft, calming lavender scent, while the formula stays gentle on both children’s and adults’ scalps.
Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek” is ideal for regular hair washing when you want gentle cleansing with a simple, easy-to-read ingredient list; discover more products from Medarek.

FAQ
From what age is Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek” suitable, and does usage differ for a baby versus an older child?
Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek” is stated by the manufacturer as suitable from birth, meaning for babies, children, and adults. For the smallest babies, you only need a little lather—glide the bar over the hair briefly and avoid the eyes. For older children, you can wash more thoroughly and use it like a regular family shampoo.
How often can we use Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek” to keep hair and scalp healthy?
Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek” is built on gentle natural surfactants, botanical powders, linden hydrosol, and organic apricot oil, so it’s suitable for regular washing. For most children, washing about 2–3× per week is enough; if your child has very fine hair or a drier scalp, you can wash less often and adjust based on how the scalp responds.
Can Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek” handle very dirty hair (sweat, sand, chlorine from the pool)?
Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek”, thanks to the combination of a coconut-derived cleansing agent and soapnut powder, easily handles everyday kids’ mess—sweat, dust, and sand from the playground. After swimming in a chlorinated pool or when hair is truly dirty, you may want to repeat the wash, but it’s still a gentler option than strong “degreasing” drugstore shampoos.
How is Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek” gentler than conventional chemical-based kids’ shampoos, and will I notice it right away?
Kids Lavender Shampoo Bar “Hajánek” contains no harsh sulphate surfactants, no strong synthetic fragrance, and no dyes. Instead, it relies on gentle natural surfactants, linden hydrosol, organic apricot oil, and rice protein, with scent provided only by lavender essential oil. Many people notice a difference after the first washes: hair feels clean, soft, and easier to detangle, while the scalp is less dried out, and children complain less about tightness or itching compared to typical drugstore shampoos.
What exactly does Medarek mean by “100% natural, 90% in organic quality”?
The organic share comes from certifiable plant ingredients (butters, oils, essential oils). The remaining portion includes ingredients of mineral origin (e.g., ancient salt), which are not certified as organic, so the organic percentage cannot be 100%.
How does Medarek keep the scent and quality of natural blends consistent across batches?
Medarek produces in small batches and works with natural oils whose aroma can vary depending on harvest. Each batch undergoes sensory checks and a test melt; if needed, the essential-oil ratios are gently adjusted to match the brand’s reference profile.
What packaging does Medarek use, and when will I come across NonOilen jars?
For selected sizes, Medarek uses NonOilen jars – sturdy and practical for storage. Packaging choice depends on size and product type, with a focus on more sustainable packaging.
Where is Medarek made, and who is behind the brand?
Medarek products are made in the Czech Republic; the brand was founded by Mgr. Lucie Horáková. Production and placing products on the market follow European cosmetics legislation.

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.
