MedicProgress hemp ointment and the full line of hemp cosmetics from the Czech Republic is the offer of a brand that has been combining traditional herbal recipes with modern dermatological cosmetology for over two decades. The brand specializes in products based on hemp seed oil (Cannabis sativa L. seed oil), essential oils, and phyto-compounds, and its flagship line HealthCulture includes warming and cooling ointments, creams for problematic skin (eczema, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis), shampoos, shower gels, balms, and preparations for varicose veins and leg swelling. If you are looking for medicprogress ointment in the 5% or 10% version, a cream for dry skin, or a complete hemp care set — in this guide, you will find an overview of the brand’s product lines, tips for choosing a variant (cooling vs warming), and safety guidelines.
The brand MedicProgress was established in the Czech Republic — a country with a long tradition of growing hemp and producing herbal preparations. The brand’s assortment is positioned at the intersection of cosmetics and dermatological care products: the formulas are dermatologically tested, the compositions are short and clear, and most products are based on cold-pressed hemp seed oil. This oil is a natural source of essential unsaturated fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 in a ratio close to that which — according to Callaway’s research (2004, Euphytica) — is about 3:1 and is considered optimal for skin and cell membranes.
The second pillar of the brand is the HealthCulture line — products that combine hemp oil with essential oils (menthol, camphor, eucalyptus, peppermint, cinnamon, clove, rosemary, lavender) and plant extracts such as horse chestnut, witch hazel, or shea butter. The entire line is designed with the daily care of sensitive, dry, problematic skin in mind and as support for active individuals. The brand declares full compliance with the European cosmetic regulation 1223/2009, which defines safety requirements for all cosmetics sold in the EU.
What distinguishes medicprogress ointment and other products from popular pharmacy preparations? A short, clear list of ingredients, no parabens, no artificial colors, and a gentle, hypoallergenic formula in variants for atopic skin. In the offer at Bucha, you will find the full range of the brand’s products — from muscle and joint ointments in 5% and 10% versions to dedicated creams for psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, as well as accessory preparations from the Ortho Help subbrand. A complete introduction to this, how to recognize a good hemp product and not be fooled by marketing, can be found in our guide.
The offer of the brand MedicProgress is divided into several clear thematic groups, tailored to specific care needs. Below are the most important segments with representative products from the Bucha store assortment.
The core of the brand. Three basic variants: green ointment 10% in a 250 ml package with menthol, camphor, and methyl salicylate, red warming ointment 250 ml with eucalyptus, cinnamon, clove, rosemary, and lavender oils, and blue Extra cooling ointment 250 ml with peppermint and eucalyptus. Each variant is also available in a smaller 100 ml format (e.g. green 10% 100 ml) — ideal for testing or for a gym bag. The ointments are dermatologically tested, absorb quickly, and do not leave a greasy film on the skin.
Dedicated preparations for problematic skin: hemp cream for eczema and atopic dermatitis 75 ml with bio hemp oil, shea butter, and D-panthenol (fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, paraben-free) and cream for psoriasis and atopic dermatitis 75 ml with hemp seed extract. Light consistency, quick absorption, and support for the skin’s hydrolipid barrier. The preparations are designed for daily care of skin with symptoms of dryness, itching, and redness — according to the Eichenfield et al. review (2014, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology), regular application of plant oil-based emollients is the foundation for preventing relapses of atopic dermatitis.
In this segment, you will find hemp shampoo for scalp care 200 ml with 5% hemp oil, D-panthenol, and olive oil, hemp shower gel 200 ml with D-panthenol and vitamin E, as well as hemp body milk 200 ml with 5% hemp oil and shea butter. They are complemented by hand cream with 5% hemp oil with almond oil and vitamin E and hemp lip balm stick 4.8 ml with D-panthenol and beta-carotene.
For those with heavy, tired legs, there is a hemp gel for leg swelling and varicose veins 75 ml with horse chestnut and witch hazel. Pro Intim cream for intimate areas 50 ml with prebiotic BioEcolia® soothes irritation after depilation. The Ortho Help subbrand offers Duo Effect ointment 100 ml and Duo Effect gel 175 ml with ginger, field horsetail, and hyaluronic acid (double cooling-warming action) and Orthohelp Type II collagen in capsules (90 pieces) with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate — oral support for joints.
The most frequently ordered medicprogress ointment and other cosmetics in the Bucha store are a good starting point if you are just getting to know the brand. Below are five bestsellers representing the broadest range of categories.
Hemp ointment 10% green 250 ml — flagship product of the HealthCulture line with the highest concentration of hemp seed oil (10%) and a cooling composition: menthol, camphor, and methyl salicylate. The most frequently chosen option for massaging muscles and joints after exercise. Pleasant, fresh feeling, quick absorption, no greasy film.
Red warming ointment 250 ml — 5% hemp oil combined with oils: eucalyptus, cinnamon, clove, rosemary, and lavender. Cinnamon scent, long-lasting warmth. Paired with the cooling variant 250 ml — many customers buy both and use them in rotation (warming before exercise, cooling after).
Blue Extra cooling ointment 250 ml — 5% hemp oil, menthol, peppermint, and eucalyptus oil. Refreshing cooling effect, quick absorption, no greasy layer or stains on clothes.
Cream for eczema and atopic dermatitis 75 ml — hypoallergenic formula with bio hemp oil, shea butter, and D-panthenol. Fragrance-free, paraben-free, and free of artificial colors. Supports the regeneration of the protective barrier and intense hydration of the skin — daily care during flare-ups of atopic dermatitis and in the remission phase.
Hemp shampoo 200 ml — 5% hemp oil, D-panthenol, olive oil, and lactic acid. Care for dry, sensitive scalp without the effect of drying out. Gentle cleansing, dermatologically tested — an option for people with seborrheic dermatitis or after dermatological therapies.
The assortment of the brand MedicProgress includes both universal preparations (daily care, balms, shampoo) and those dedicated to narrow groups of recipients. Below is an outline of groups that may benefit the most.
Physically active individuals and amateur athletes: cooling ointments after exercise and warming before training are classics. 5% hemp oil in the base nourishes the skin, and essential oils provide an immediate cooling or warming effect. The 10% variant (green) will work well for intense muscle massage after a long run, cycling, or strength training — medicprogress ointment in this concentration is the strongest position in the offer.
Individuals with atopic, dry, and sensitive skin: the dedicated dermatological line (cream for eczema and atopic dermatitis, cream for psoriasis and atopic dermatitis) is formulated with daily emollient care in mind. As emphasized by the Eichenfield et al. guidelines (2014), regular application of emollients twice a day reduces itching and the frequency of atopic dermatitis flare-ups in adults and children.
Individuals with standing jobs and heavy legs: the hemp gel for leg swelling and varicose veins combines cooling hemp oil with extracts from horse chestnut (escin) and witch hazel — two classic plants used in preparations for venous insufficiency. Nurses, hairdressers, warehouse workers, and restaurant staff are typical recipients.
Individuals with joint problems and seniors: the Ortho Help subbrand offers topical preparations (Duo Effect 100 ml and gel 175 ml) and oral Type II collagen with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. The dual strategy (topical + oral) is often recommended in physiotherapy.
Individuals looking for natural daily care: hemp body milk, hand cream, shampoo, shower gel, and lip balm create a complete care set for those who value short, clear ingredient lists without parabens and artificial colors.
A practical step-by-step guide — before you click “add to cart,” it is worth making a few conscious decisions.
MedicProgress cosmetics are produced in accordance with European cosmetic regulation 1223/2009, have the required safety assessments, and are registered in the EU CPNP database. Nevertheless, each preparation has its contraindications:
If the expected improvement does not occur after several weeks of regular use (e.g. in the case of chronic skin symptoms), consult a dermatologist — according to current dermatological guidelines, a diagnosed skin disease requires individual assessment. The cosmetic does not replace pharmacological treatment or physiotherapy.
The green medicprogress ointment 10% contains the highest concentration of hemp seed oil in the brand’s offer and menthol, camphor, and methyl salicylate — a classic choice for massaging muscles and joints after exercise. Red (warming) contains 5% hemp oil and oils: eucalyptus, cinnamon, clove, rosemary, and lavender — provides a long-lasting feeling of warmth. Blue (Extra cooling) has 5% hemp oil, menthol, peppermint, and eucalyptus oil — refreshing cooling sensation, quick absorption.
Muscle and joint ointments with menthol, camphor, and essential oils are not intended for children under 3 years of age, according to general pediatric guidelines. In older children, use them sparingly, on a small area of skin, and under parental supervision. In case of doubt, consult your choice with a pediatrician.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, avoid products with strong essential oils (menthol in high concentration, cinnamon, clove, peppermint). Safer options are emollient formulas — cream for eczema and atopic dermatitis, body milk, hand cream, lip balm. Any doubts should be consulted with the attending physician.
HealthCulture is the flagship product line of the MedicProgress brand that combines hemp seed oil with essential oils, shea butter, D-panthenol, and plant extracts. The line includes muscle and joint ointments, dermatological creams, shampoo, shower gel, balms, and preparations for varicose veins. The abbreviation “HC” in product names (e.g. “MedicProgress HC hand cream”) indicates belonging to this line.
Yes. Ortho Help is a subbrand of MedicProgress dedicated to joint support preparations. In the Bucha store, you will find in this line Duo Effect ointment 100 ml, Duo Effect gel 175 ml (both with ginger, field horsetail, and hyaluronic acid) and Orthohelp Type II collagen in capsules (90 pieces).
Cooling and warming ointments from the HealthCulture line are a popular choice for massaging the lumbar and neck areas — especially for muscle tension after office work or exertion. In the case of chronic spinal ailments, sciatica, discopathy, or other diagnosed conditions, the topical preparation is only a support — the basis remains physiotherapy and medical consultation.
Store all brand preparations in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After opening, the shelf life (PAO) is marked on the packaging with the symbol of an open jar with a number of months.
