MedPharma

MedPharma (legally MedPharma, spol. s r.o.) is a Czech family-owned company that develops, manufactures and sells dietary supplements, cosmetic preparations and medical devices. It has operated since 2000 [1] and works from a single facility in Sivice, a village roughly 20 kilometres northeast of Brno. Within beauty, the company is known less for conventional cosmetics than for a line of herbal ointments, balms, gels and lip care positioned as pharmacy-grade rather than mainstream.

The brand remains active. Its Czech web shop carries current stock, and its product range reaches several European markets, where the cosmetics are sold chiefly through pharmacies and cross-border beauty retail.

According to the company, MedPharma has been on the Czech market as a family business since 2000 [1]. Czech business-registry records date the founding more precisely to 5 September 2000, when it was established as a limited-liability company [3]. From the start its remit combined three lines: dietary supplements and vitamins, cosmetic preparations, and medical devices, alongside contract manufacturing for other partners.

The company's operating base is the facility in Sivice, which it describes as built to modern manufacturing and distribution standards and serving as both headquarters and production site.

The location of the company's headquarters is recorded in two different ways depending on the source. MedPharma's about-us page presents Sivice as the headquarters and manufacturing facility [2]. The Czech business registry and the company's own operator page list the registered legal seat at Křiby 292 in Tetčice, with Sivice (Sivice 510, Pozořice) given as the operating address [4]. Both are near Brno, and the difference reflects the distinction between the registered seat and the manufacturing site rather than a relocation.

MedPharma's cosmetics sit within a broader catalogue that also includes vitamins, effervescent tablets, fish-oil products and mother-and-child care. The natural-cosmetics line is built around herbal and pharmacy actives: echinacea (used across a facial water, facial milk, gel and cream), chamomile, oak bark, tea tree oil, vitamin E with allantoin in lip care, and calcium pantothenate [5]. Several balms combine a stated 33-herb blend in cooling and warming variants.

Among its better-known items are a cosmetic Vaseline based on petrolatum, marketed for chapped and dry skin and described as non-perfumed [6], the echinacea cream and facial water, and the vitamin E lip balm. Internationally, the brand is presented by the retailer Notino as natural, therapeutic skincare focused on soothing and regenerative ointments, gels and Vaseline-type creams [7].

MedPharma frames its work around supporting health through evidence-based knowledge and current medical practice, and its cosmetics carry the same therapeutic, pharmacy-grade emphasis rather than a fashion-led one [2]. The company says it adheres to HACCP food-safety principles and holds IFS Food certification, with products tested in accredited laboratories and subject to audits by notified bodies and state authorities [2].

The company states that pharmacies are its primary sales channel [2]. Beyond the Czech home market and a dedicated Slovak presence, its cosmetic ointments, gels and Vaseline are sold through the international retailer Notino across several European markets, including Denmark, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Greece, as well as through pharmacy and beauty channels in Germany and elsewhere [7]. This cross-border retail, rather than a dedicated local importer, is the route by which the products reach markets outside central Europe.

MedPharma is an active company. Its Czech web shop displays a 2026 copyright and current inventory, and its Facebook page posted a Christmas promotion in November 2025 [8], the most recent visible activity recorded for the brand.
