Medarek – Natural Olive Squalane – Light Dry Oil for Skin and Hair
Natural Olive Squalane from Medarek is a light dry oil for skin and hair care across all ages. Unlike heavy oils and rich creams, it doesn't leave a greasy film and is based on a pure single-ingredient formula from organic raw material that is naturally akin to the skin and usually very well tolerated.
Thanks to its light texture, it absorbs quickly and provides gentle hydration without a sticky feel. After use, the skin appears smoother, soft, and naturally fresh, without being unnecessarily weighed down or shiny.
For sensitive skin, it's also pleasant that this is an unscented product, which supports skin comfort and helps to soften it. At the same time, it helps maintain the skin's natural protective film, making it suitable for anyone who wants cosmetics with minimal ingredients and a clearly readable composition.
Usage is simple: just massage a small amount into damp skin or skin prepared with a toner on the face, neck, and décolleté morning and evening. You can also rub a few drops into hair ends for smoothing and shine, or use it as a gentle hair wrap before washing, so the hair isn't unnecessarily weighed down.
Because it is fragrance-free, it easily combines with other care products and will suit those who prefer unscented cosmetics. It's suitable for everyday use when you want to combine gentle light care with a simple composition; you can also check out other products from Medarek.

Composition Analysis and Functional Benefits
Bio Olive Squalane
What it is: A light plant-derived lipid from olive oil, similar in composition to skin sebum.
Function: Replenishes lipids in the skin, supports the protective skin barrier, and slows down moisture loss. Absorbs quickly as a dry oil without a greasy film.
Benefits: Skin feels soft and smooth after use, with less sensation of tightness and dryness. Due to its low comedogenicity (level 1), it typically does not clog pores and is suited to all skin types. A few drops can also be used on hair ends for smoothing and a gentle shine.
What does the composition mean for your skin and hair?
A single-ingredient composition based on bio lipid from olive oil instead of a mix of many substances helps to simplify and clarify care. This substance is naturally close to the skin, works well with the skin barrier, and after use, the skin is soft, smooth to the touch, and less prone to feeling dry. Hair and their ends appear smoother without being unnecessarily weighed down.
Usage
- For skin, apply a few drops of this oil to clean and dry (or slightly damp) skin morning and evening.
- Gently massage into the face, neck, and décolleté until the product is fully absorbed; can be used alone or under a favourite cream.
- As a base under makeup, apply a thin layer, allow it to absorb briefly, and then apply makeup – the skin is smoother and better prepared for makeup.
- For hair, use a few drops on damp or dry hair, focusing on ends and lengths for smoothing and reducing frizz.
- For intensive care, apply oil as a pre-wash hair mask or add a few drops to a bath; alternatively, you can mix it with a cream or serum to enhance their hydrating effect.
Warnings and Manufacturer Recommendations
- For external use only; avoid application to eyes and irritated or broken skin.
- If a reaction occurs (redness, burning, itching), discontinue use and consult a specialist if necessary.
- No added fragrance – a gentle natural product without added scents, suitable for those who prefer fragrance-free care.
- Shelf life: 1 year from the date of manufacture; recommended to use within 6 months after opening.
- Storage: in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, at temperatures up to 25 °C, in a well-sealed container.
- Do not expose to prolonged high temperatures or direct sunlight to maintain the oil's stability and quality.
FAQ
Can I use Bio Natural Olive Squalane Medarek around the eyes?
Bio Natural Olive Squalane Medarek has a simple single-ingredient composition and is fragrance-free, so many people use it around the eye area. Apply only 1–2 drops on well-dampened skin and avoid direct contact with the eye.
How to incorporate Bio Natural Olive Squalane Medarek into a routine with acids (AHA/BHA)?
After using AHA/BHA acids, first apply a thin layer on clean skin and then use Bio Natural Olive Squalane Medarek as the final oil step. It helps reduce the feeling of tightness and supports skin comfort without disrupting the effect of the acids.
Is Bio Natural Olive Squalane Medarek suitable for oily facial skin?
Bio Natural Olive Squalane Medarek has low comedogenicity and a dry oil texture, so it typically does not clog pores. For oily skin, use it on the face in a really small amount (1–2 drops on damp skin) and ideally in the evening to see how the skin reacts.
Can I use Bio Natural Olive Squalane Medarek during the day under SPF cream?
Yes, apply a thin layer of Bio Natural Olive Squalane Medarek on damp skin, allow it to absorb briefly, and then apply your SPF cream. Squalane supports smoothness and skin comfort, but daily protection is always primarily ensured by a sufficient amount of SPF.
What does "100% natural, 90% organic quality" mean at MEDAREK?
The organic content is derived from certifiable plant ingredients (butters, oils, EO). The remaining part consists of mineral-based components (e.g., ancient salt), which are not certified as organic, hence not 100%.
How does MEDAREK maintain consistent scent 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 test dissolution; if necessary, the proportions of EO are gently adjusted to match the referential profile of the brand.
What packaging does MEDAREK use and when will I encounter NonOilen cups?
For selected packages, Medarek uses NonOilen cups – sturdy and practical for storage. The choice of packaging is determined by the size and type of 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. Both production and market introduction comply with European legislation for cosmetics.

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.
