Thanks to the pure, minimalist composition, the products easily fit into the routine of the whole family, including sensitive children's skin.
The offer for the whole family includes gentle natural soaps (e.g., Ghi soap with mandarin scent and Cumin soap), pure plant oils (e.g., Pineapple oil) and also natural deodorants (e.g., Zinc deodorant White Rose).

FAQ
Can I use Organic Juniper Ointment for psoriasis or eczema?
Do not apply to active lesions or damaged skin. The ointment is a cosmetic product intended for massage and relaxation after exertion and contains several essential oils (including natural allergens Limonene, Linalool), which may irritate sensitive or cracked skin. If you want to support comfort around affected areas, use only on healthy skin, perform a patch test, and for chronic issues, follow the recommendation of a dermatologist.
Why can't I use it for more than 10 days?
This is the manufacturer's recommendation: do not use the ointment preventively, for more than 10 days in a row, and then take a minimum one-week break. The reason is the safety of working with essential oils – long-term continuous use increases the risk of skin sensitization (allergic reaction). Breaks help to minimize this risk.
Are the products tested on animals?
In the EU, cosmetics are not tested on animals by law. Medarek manufactures in the Czech Republic in compliance with Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 and related legislation.
Are the products suitable for children and sensitive skin?
Yes. The brand offers gentle formulas for sensitive skin and children. For very sensitive skin, we recommend a patch test and checking the ingredients (INCI).
Do the products contain fragrances or allergens?
Medarek does not use synthetic fragrances; some products contain essential oils, which may have natural allergens. Always check the INCI and consider a patch test if sensitive.
Are the products vegan?
Most formulas are plant-based, but some contain beeswax or propolis (not vegan). Information can be found in the INCI of each product.
How long do the products last after opening and how should they be stored?
The usual shelf life after opening is about 6 months (varies by type). Store up to 25 °C, away from direct sunlight, and follow the information on the label (PAO symbol).
Can I use Medarek children's products on newborns?
Yes, part of the range is explicitly “from birth” and is intended for sensitive newborn skin. This includes, for example, Oil for the Little Ones (listed and certified “from birth”), Ointment for the Little Ones, Zinc Ointment (including variants), and the Budulinek range (oat balm).

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.
