Our Tip
Just add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to create a pleasant scented balm. Before use, please study the dosage and effects of individual oils – not all are suitable for application on the skin, especially for children, pregnant, and nursing women. We recommend Lemon Balm Essential Oil.
How is Medarek Cosmetics Different from “Commercial” Offers?
Medarek relies on short, understandable formulations with a high content of organic ingredients. Waterless ointments and balms are concentrated, do without water preservatives and heavy fragrances, and use non-nano zinc oxide in zinc products. Suitable for the whole family in daily care.
The formulations 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 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 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 a daily care ritual.
Customer Experiences with Organic Pure Shea Butter from Medarek
Summary of reviews: 5 / 5.
Hydration and Nourishment
- Long-lasting soft, smooth skin – users describe significant moisturizing and durability after one application.
- Dry and cracked heels – regular use (sometimes once a week is enough) significantly improved skin condition.
- Multifunctional use – lips, local dry spots, sometimes even in the bath for easier body care.
Experiences with Sensitive Skin and Eczema
- Atopic eczema – repeatedly mentioned relief, softening of lesions, and less itching in children and adults. Often used after “zinc ointment.”
- Keratosis (bumps on arms) – users report visible improvement in skin texture.
- Combination with other products – some recommend combining with zinc ointment (even with propolis) as needed.
Scent and Texture
- Natural “shea” scent – some customers love it (sometimes compared to white chocolate).
- Solid, but melts in the palms – recommendation to “scoop with a nail/spatula” and warm between fingers for easy spreading.
- Practical for children – firmer consistency prevents “digging” into the jar, softens upon contact with skin.
Tips from Experiences
- Apply to damp skin after bathing – spreads better and locks in moisture.
- Warm in palms or scoop with a spatula for hygienic use.
- Hair care – mask for 30 min in warmth, or just on ends after washing without further rinsing.
- Local dry spots and lips – only a small amount during the day.
- For children and sensitive skin, perform a short patch test.
Note: The experiences mentioned are subjective customer statements and do not replace medical advice.

FAQ

How long will Shea Butter last with daily use?
Depends on the extent of application. Approximately:
Local application (hands, dry spots, baby): 100 ml ~ 1–3 months, 250 ml ~ 3–6 months.

Hair – mask once a week: 100 ml ~ 2–3 months (depending on hair length).

What to Buy with Organic Dense Shea Butter?

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.
