How is Medarek Cosmetics Different from “Commercial” Offerings?
Medarek relies on short, understandable formulations with a high proportion of organic ingredients. Water-free ointments and balms are concentrated, they do without water preservatives and heavy fragrances, and zinc products use non-nano zinc oxide. Suitable for the whole family in daily care.
Formulations are based on organic shea and mango butter and organic plant oils; depending on the product type, they use beeswax or purely plant-based alternatives. You won’t find parabens or artificial aromas in the compositions. Thanks to the clean, minimalist composition, 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 the scent of mandarin and Cumin soap), pure plant oils (e.g., Pineapple oil), and also natural deodorants (e.g., Zinc deodorant White Rose).
Who is Medarek Cosmetics Intended 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 ideal for pregnant women or people with allergies to synthetic fragrances.
Scents like lavender, citrus, or patchouli also have aromatherapeutic effects – relieving tension, calming the mind, and supporting 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.
Cosmetics are easy to use – they are ready-made products that are applied directly to the skin or body. Thanks to the high concentration of active ingredients, only a small amount is needed.

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.
