Around the world with Ministerstwo - how to carry cosmetics in your hand luggage
How do you pack for a trip? Journeys big and small can be quite a logistical challenge, especially when your chosen means of transport imposes limits on the quantity, weight or dimensions of your luggage. The greatest difficulty of course comes with flying with hand luggage only: a wash bag taken on board may contain liquid products only in containers of 100 ml or less, up to a total of one litre (1000 ml). And...

Sugars in cosmetics - properties and effects
It is no secret that proper everyday skin care goes beyond hygiene and cosmetics alone. Just as important is our lifestyle as a whole - a proper diet, good hydration, exercise, sleep and avoiding addictions. One of the key nutrition rules for healthy skin is moderate sugar intake: in excess, sugar can not only aggravate acne and promote inflammation, but also accelerate skin ageing through the so-called glycation of proteins, i.e. the degradation of collagen and elastin fibres. Paradoxically, things look completely different when we deliver it to the skin... from the outside. How is it possible that sugar in cosmetics does us good?

Calamine - properties and effects - find out everything!
In the life of a cosmetics producer it sometimes happens that something which was always there is suddenly gone. Stubbornly gone, despite all our searching, even at the other end of the world - and meanwhile production is at a standstill, customers are asking, pleading, and the shop shelves stay empty. Just as you are waiting to buy, we are waiting to get hold of even the smallest quantity. And then, when we are losing hope and facing the prospect that there will be no more, suddenly... there is! It is coming back! And so it came back, all in pink: CALAMINE!

Soothing serum for sensitive skin Rice + Ceramides
Over the years, the range of Ministerstwo's facial care products has undergone not only significant growth but also an evolution - from a minimalism focused on pure plant raw materials to the richness of multi-ingredient, advanced, rose-raspberry formulas. In our portfolio of in-house formulations, however, we were missing a certain counterweight. A lightweight contender for those who need richness but with gentleness - not stimulation, but a soft embrace. Soothing, calming, regeneration... Products in this category are what we like to call a duvet for the skin - and that is exactly what Rice is :) We guarantee you will want to meet it in person!

Glitter madness - meet the biodegradable face and body glitters by FaceGroovin
All it took was for Ania to show up once on social media with glittery freckles on her face and every one of Ministerstwo's channels went wild. From then on, for weeks, we were flooded with comments, e-mails and phone calls - will there be any, when will there be any, in what colours, how to wear them and WHY ARE THEY NOT HERE YET??? - surprising probably the whole ministerial team... apart from Ania, who felt from the very beginning that it would be a HIT ;) The glitters dominated our December and January, outshining the rest of the product news, and there was quite a lot of it (more about that soon :)). For those of you who have not yet been swept up by the glitter madness, we would like to introduce it a little more closely. Welcome!

The Rose-Raspberry series - complete facial skincare
Not so long ago, when we heard the words "One Rose-Raspberry, please" in our brick-and-mortar shops, we reached without hesitation for a little white bottle topped with a black pipette. Meanwhile, before we knew it, one serum in the Ministerstwo range had grown into a four-product series of advanced facial care products! Although they have a great deal in common, each one is different - today we present the whole set to you :).

What is common oat extract and how does it work?
You will find common oat extract in cosmetics under the INCI name Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract. It is an active ingredient extracted from oat oil (Avena Sativa Kernel Oil), with the form of a viscous liquid of a deep orange colour. It is a vegan, biodegradable and gluten-free raw material :). It is also hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, which means it does not clog pores or cause blackheads. It works in multiple ways to renew, protect and strengthen the skin's lipid barrier.

Active eye and lip contour serum Rose-Raspberry + Xymenynic Acid
The active elixir Rose-Raspberry + Xymenynic Acid is a completely new product category at Ministerstwo - a concentrated serum for the skin around the eyes and lips. It brings together everything you loved most in our Rose-Raspberry line (which it joins as the fourth instalment!): an abundance of oils, a whole constellation of carefully chosen active ingredients and that beloved, relaxing scent of a doughnut filled with rose jam. It may sound like the very definition of richness, yet we serve it to you in an exceptionally light, non-greasy formula. The serum is vegan and suitable for every skin type. For those who prevent and those who repair after the fact ;). It moisturises, smooths and nourishes. In tests carried out by an independent laboratory, 100% of participants declared they would recommend our eye serum to someone close to them - so allow us to recommend it to you now!
