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 high-quality plant oils and simple, transparent formulas without unnecessary ingredients and synthetic fragrances. Its products are gentle, pure, and focused on functional care.
Medarek – Kids Vanilla Shampoo Bar “Budulínek” – Gentle Hair Washing from Birth
Sweet-Scented Budulínek Children's Shampoo Bar is for washing the hair of children from birth and adults. Unlike common liquid shampoos from drugstores – including many chemical-based children's products – it does not rely on harsh synthetic surfactants, strong fragrances, and unnecessary additives, but on gentle cleansing agents, plant powders, linden hydrolate, and nourishing oils; thus, it represents a gentler alternative to regular shampoos.
The combination of soap nut powder and arrowroot powder with linden hydrolate ensures a gentle yet effective cleansing of hair and scalp. The plant-based cleansing component creates a creamy foam that rinses out well, leaving hair clean, light, and naturally shiny after washing.
The base also includes jojoba, oat, and rice oil, which help to gently soften the hair and scalp and support their protective barrier, preventing excessive dryness; approximately 33 % of the ingredients are of organic quality.
A small amount of shampoo bar is enough to glide over wet hair several times, lather, and rinse. After washing, hair is usually easier to comb, appears smoother, and is not unnecessarily weighed down.
Vanilla extract gives the shampoo bar a sweet, calming scent, while the formulation remains gentle on both children's and adults' scalps.
Budulínek is suitable for regular hair washing when you want to gently cleanse and care for hair without unnecessarily harsh components; discover more products from the Medarek brand.

Did You Know?
- The word "shampoo" – did not originate in Europe; it entered English from India and originally referred more to a head massage than a cleansing product.
- Washing hair with plants – is not a modern trend; in India, plant powders and fruits with naturally foaming substances, typically soap nuts, have been used for centuries.
- Why shampoo bars have become so popular – it's mainly about practical form; a solid bar is easier to transport, doesn't leak, and often means less packaging per wash.

- Additional nourishing oils – jojoba and rice oil complement the care, leaving hair and scalp gently softened without a feeling of dryness.

FAQ
From what age is the Kids Vanilla Shampoo Bar “Budulínek” suitable and does its use differ between infants and older children?
The Budulínek baby shampoo bar with a sweet scent is indicated by the manufacturer as suitable from birth, meaning for infants, children, and adults. For very young children, only a small amount of foam is needed, gently rub the shampoo bar over the hair and be careful with the eyes, while for older children, hair can be washed more thoroughly and the shampoo bar used like a regular family shampoo.
How often can we use the Kids Vanilla Shampoo Bar “Budulínek” to keep hair and scalp healthy?
The Budulínek shampoo bar is based on gentle natural surfactants, plant powders, and nourishing oils, making it suitable for regular washing. For most children, washing hair about 2–3 times a week is sufficient; if the child has very fine hair or a drier scalp, you can reduce the washing frequency and adjust according to how the hair and scalp respond.
Can the Kids Vanilla Shampoo Bar “Budulínek” clean very dirty hair (sweat, sand, chlorine from the pool)?
The Budulínek shampoo bar, thanks to the combination of coconut oil-based cleansing agent and soap nut powder, can easily handle everyday children's dirt – sweat, dust, and sand from the playground. After swimming in a chlorinated pool or with very dirty hair, it may be necessary to repeat the wash briefly, but it remains a gentler option compared to strong "degreasing" shampoos from the store.
How is the Kids Vanilla Shampoo Bar “Budulínek” gentler than regular chemically-based children's shampoos, and will I notice it on the hair immediately?
The Budulínek baby shampoo bar does not contain aggressive sulfate surfactants, strong synthetic fragrances, or dyes; it is based on gentle natural surfactants, linden hydrosol, oat, jojoba, and rice oils, and rice protein. The difference is often noticeable after the first washes – hair is clean, light, and easier to comb, the scalp is less dry, and children complain less about tightness or itching than after using regular shampoos from the store.
What exactly does "100% natural, 90% organic quality" mean at MEDAREK?
The organic content is based on certifiable plant ingredients (butters, oils, EO). The remaining part consists of non-mineral origin components (e.g., ancient salt), which are not certified as organic, hence it is not 100%.
How does MEDAREK maintain consistent fragrance and quality of natural blends across batches?
Medarek produces in small batches and works with natural oils, whose aroma may vary depending on the harvest. Each batch undergoes sensory control and trial dissolution; if necessary, the ratios of EO are gently adjusted to match the brand's reference profile.
What packaging does MEDAREK use and when will I encounter NonOilen containers?
For selected packaging, Medarek uses NonOilen containers – sturdy and practical for storage. The choice of packaging is determined by the size and type of the product, with an emphasis on more sustainable packaging.
Where does MEDAREK manufacture and who is behind the brand?
Medarek products are made in the Czech Republic; the brand is led by Mgr. Lucie Horáková. Production and market introduction are conducted in accordance with 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.
