Ministerstwo

Ministerstwo It's a story about two sisters, a soap obsession, and craft. We are small Polish family- owned manuf THE MINISTERSTWO IS A SMALL, FAMILY-OWNED SOAP PRODUCER.

SISTERS ANIA AND ULA BIELUŃ FOUNDED THE MINISTRY IN THE NORTH-WESTERN PART OF POLAND, IN KAMIEŃ POMORSKI. WE PRODUCE SOLID, HAND-MADE SOAPS AND COSMETICS, AND OUR SECRETS FOR SUCCESS LAY IN OUR CHOICE OF EXCELLENT RAW MATERIALS, CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND HARD WORK. MINISTERSTWO CAME OUT OF A SOAP OBSESSION, A SENSE OF HUMOR WEANED ON MONTY PYTHON, THEIR MINISTRY OF SILLY WALKS AND THE FEELING THAT IT’S “

GOOD TO DO SOMETHING WELL". JOANNE HARRIS’ BOOK CHOCOLAT ALSO HAD A BIT OF AN IMPACT ON US. IN HER BOOK, THE MAIN CHARACTER RUNS A STORE WITH CHOCOLATES AND ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT WILL BEST SUIT EACH CUSTOMER. WE WERE ALSO INSPIRED BY THE DOCUMENTARY FILM JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI ABOUT THE ONE SUSHI CHEF IN THE WORLD WHO WAS ABLE TO GET FOUR MICHELIN STARS; ABOUT UNCOMPROMISING MODESTY AND LOVE OF WORK.

✨We owe you an apology. We just discovered a considerable blind spot in our communication. We looked through our annual reports, examined our activities on social media and it turned out that we brag about our Honey lip balm, we brag about face creams, the Sugar and Daily lines, while the facial cleansing oil just does its thing, shyly, on its own, with no extra efforts nor boosts on our end. Despite the fact that we kind of left it off the hook, it grew into a bestseller, by its own efforts🥹. We will just say one thing though, trying to excuse ourselves a little: oil-based makeup removers are not necessarily very hip. It’s true, we like them very much but we didn’t really sense this product will have a lot of potential, since the customers’ experience with this type of products is usually just so-so. You often get heavy formulations that are hard to wash off the face, dissolve the makeup but in a very messy manner, have to be washed off later with another cleansing step, clog pores, cause pimples. We stripped our hydrophilic oil of these inconveniences. We carefully selected its ingredients so that the oil gently catches dirt and rinses it off without drying or irritating the skin. We know it’s good, but we didn’t really dedicate any time to even promote it...It was you who noticed it and who consequently purchases it, making it one of our bestsellers. We will treat it right, starting now, and appreciate it more, pinky promise! 💗

✨Conventionally, when new formulas of the products currently being developed arrive at Ania’s threshold, she should painstakingly number them and plug them into an excel sheet. But when it comes to these guys, newly developed formulas for the foundation, there was no time to waste, the excitement took over and instead of numbers, the bottles got different Peppa Pig stickers! Oh, well! 🤭 Now, we already have some medium shades and a darker one as well but it’s time to pick out options for lighter complexions and this is tricky because it either comes out too yellow, too gray or dangerously veers towards pink. Let’s hope for a successful compromise then! PS. Our bio glitter sticks so well to these product, we simply can’t wait for the summer festival season of bling-bling! Get ready 🤩✨

✨Ania’s schedule this week: an important training, two important official meetings, one fancy evening business gala, and her response to a request she constantly gets „Hey, Ania, how about finally recording some videos about our recent premieres?! In the meantime, Ania’s nose: 💥😅😵‍💫🚀. And so it goes. It’s just Ania and her nose. Perhaps you will see them this week, they will tell you about natural hair styling clays, Murphy’s Law and give you tips on how to deal with the perpetual sense of embarrassment 🤭🎉.

🫧 This, ladies and gentlemen, is Ula - the CEO of our sweet, chaotic mess. Pictured, she is talking about soap - the best idea for a gift. And this time she's speaking to a professional camera because the whole recording is an award in the "West Pomerania Best For Gift"😃 contest, where we've just been awarded. It's not hard to guess that the contest selected brands that offer products perfect for a gift. And, if you ask us in all seriousness what to choose in our store for a gift, we will - also, in all seriousness - answer that everything. And then we will conduct an in-depth interview about the gift recipient and find the perfect match. Our customers say that we have a good nose (not only for fragrances) and the gifts are most often a big hit. So, if you have a specific need - welcome to our online store. And if you need support, send us an email 🙂The girls overseeing the process are the best in the world, they will give you a brillant piece of advice and package your gift beautifully. We are here for you🖤

✨Black Fridays are a huge challenge. High seasonality of our work, which peaks in autumn and winter, forces us to arrange logistical dominoes that can come down with every little cube taken out. In a very short time, we have to buy a huge amount of raw materials and somehow, super-efficiently, prepare cosmetics from them. In a very short time we have to dress these cosmetics in packaging, deliver them for distribution and send them to you. Natural cosmetics, however, can be capricious. They like to deviate from the established norms or simply flop, throwing a wrench in meticulously composed plans. And our formulas are rich, which raises the risk to an alarming level - it’s so easy for one or two raw materials to be missing or late for delivery and then what? Shortages in the store or, conversely, too much product produced - we face this every year, with more or less patience. But this time this great challenge went really well. It was made up of the work of nearly 40 people, which began just after the previous Black Friday. It was well worth it. Over the weekend, this crazy dispatch team pictured (+ second shift, missing from the picture, taking a rest) packed 1155 orders, and it's not stopping, because this is only a chunk of what is still waiting for us to be packed. Please be patient and meanwhile, we keep going. And we are thankful. Happy to report that there is still power, energy and joy here 😊✨

✨(Spoiler alert!) This line, designed for family, was to be called "humble" - due to its meek and rather unassuming character. And then...Well, when you think about it for a second it seems very strange that one can own...words. With money and a stack of properly filled-out forms, you can actually book the rights to a word. This is how, for instance, we bought “Ministerstwo.” But "humble" we were not able to – someone had dibs on it earlier. And so from humble, it became "daily." "Daily" as in, daily life, turned out to breed less risk. Daily is just so ordinary and it is for everyone. Actually, maybe that’s even better, let's make this daily vibe good for all of us and let it smell like fruits and simple good skincare that lasts for a very, very long time.✨

✨Spoiler alert!✨Black is the new green this fall for us, whatever this means, and we don't know what we're happier about - all those new family shower gels that will be premiering soon, or this toner we made out of quite selfish impulses😅The Sugar toner will complement the Sugar serum as the first step of a skincare routine because we were sorely lacking a toning product. Our experience shows that without good toning, a terrible pH mayhem can ensue on the face which then, out of despair, can only be covered up with a little bit of powder. And, let’s face it, a toner in the morning to wipe the face from sleep, combined with something appropriate on top (plus coffee, miniscrolling, breakfast, vit. D supplements, various outfit fittings, miniscrolling, packing up, umbrella, leaving the house and coming back panicked to get something you forgot) and there we go, we are ready to ride smoothly into the day😂We're currently in the trial stage of production so please send positive energy so that we can make it in time before the day that must-not-be-named! 🤫✨

🚀Honey 2.0 is on its way to you, Ladies and Gentlemen, printed gracefully and bearing no stickers. Please don't shuffle it around in your bags willy-nillly, don't throw it together with your keys, screwdrivers and alternate earrings, because even a decent print wouldn’t survive that (and this one is decent). Please put it in a separate pocket, respect the product, because we really made an effort and put a lot of heart into it 🤪 It will return the favor, we promise. It will save not only dry lips, but also chafed noses. Harsh nail cuticles and rough elbows will also be embraced by its soothing presence. It comes with a funny swirl at the tip, to put a smile on your face. Now, you must forgive us because instead of “Honey” it will bear its Polish counterpart so that for all eternity you will know how to name in Polish that thing that Winnie-the-Pooh loved so much 😊 Miód🍯in new clothes will go on sale soon, for now it’s still on the production line. Keep your fingers crossed!🚀

This sisterhood is not only built on soap 😊Did you know that recently Ania made Ula a necklace from scratch? She took apart her mother-in-law’s beads, took them apart and rearranged, adding some gold and jade. Ula looks beautiful in it, Ania is happy and so is the Ministerstwo team. Because it’s good to slow down sometimes and regroup, to see things in a new perspective. Soap is always there but so are familial bonds, friendships and mutual respect🙂

What makes a good market? Maybe starting your day with a waffle, freshly made with your own hands at the hotel breakfast counter. Or a beautiful day, with a crisp morning air and the sun rays tickling your neck, making you nostalgic about the summer in the first days of October. This is all a solid base to start off a good market well. When it comes to a GREAT market, however, it’s a combination of the invisible - the energy, the warmth, kindness, friendship, passion, curiosity, and the happily visible - all the beautiful smiles, the spark in your interlocutors’ eyes and cheeks, the handshakes, the hugs. The people. .markt in Frankfurt has blown us away, once again. Our heartfelt thank you to all the fearless women who handle, organize and make this great market happen. Thank you to all the exhibitors who have enveloped us with so much friendship & love. And sincere thank you to all the customers who came to visit us this weekend, to those who gave us a chance for the first time and those who returned to get some of their favorites again - it was incredible to chat and smile with you. Frankfurt, we will come back! And Mainz - we will see you next week 🥰
