If you haven't noticed, Mukti Organics has had a makeover and they are looking good! But don't worry, Mukti's renowned formulations that make them one of the best organic skincare brands in Australia, remain the same. We caught up with Mukti herself to find out what makes her products so unique, as well her top tips on natural anti-ageing and skincare routines!
Can you tell us about your journey in creating Mukti Organics?
The brand was initially launched in 2000 when I recognised a gap in the natural and organic skin care sector. At that time there was no organic certification for skin care. It was, and has continued to be my goal to create a range of products that would deliver optimum cosmeceutical results whilst maintaining an organic standard.
Since the brand's inception I have continued to meticulously research and fine-tune the ingredients to protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals and to regenerate and improve the health and function of the skin.
Why was it so important to you that Mukti Organics be natural and organic?
I feel it is of utmost importance to minimise and educate about exposure to chemicals and toxins in our everyday lives. Not only does it impact on our health but also our environment. We need to consider the long-term effects and implications of accumulative exposure.
The Organic Food Chain (OFC) Pty Ltd independently certifies our products to stringent global standards. Their logo and our individual certification number assure integrity, transparency and instil consumer confidence that our products are veritably organic by origin and nature. All ingredients must be traceable to their source.
What is unique about Mukti Organics?
Each product has a unique synergistic blend of concentrated native Australian extracts specifically related to the skin condition. When applied topically, the bioactivity of the nutrient value is increased so that absorption occurs within the deeper layers of the skin maximising the potency and the effectiveness of the ingredients.
The recently launched Age Defiance Collection contains potent peptides or short-chain proteins that naturally occur in the skin and act as messengers. They have been shown to play a key role in natural skin healing processes. They have been specifically formulated to fight the visible signs of aging. The amino acid sequence and chain structure determine the specific biological activity and function.
Benefits include:
Increase in collagen and regulates collagen production
Assisting with maintaining skin elasticity
Stimulates rapid turnover of skin cells
Encourages antioxidant enzymes
Improves cellular repair
Evens out pigmentation
Antimicrobial protection
Smoothing and nourishing effect on the skin
Mukti Organics has recently undergone some big changes; can you tell us about this and why you made these changes?
We have simplified and colour coded the products into four distinct collections with its own unique mandala to define the specific skin type. There are four ranges: Age Defiance, All Skin Types, Normal/Dry and Combination/Oily.
The symbolism of the mandalas represents wholeness and our relationship to infinity that relates to nature and extends beyond the mind and the body.
Our facial care range are also now packaged in violet flame or biophotonic glass, which acts as a filter to screen out the complete spectrum of visible light from red to blue frequencies that are responsible for the decomposition of living organisms.
Violet flame glass offers ultimate protection against the harmful effects of light and increases the dynamic energy, potency, vibration, vitality and ionic harmonization of stored goods, allowing an increase in shelf life and minimal preservation by significantly delaying the decomposition process.
We have also recently reformulated the botanique shampoo and conditioner with a new 100% plant based preservative system.
What is your favourite Mukti Organics product and why?
My skin is normal and prone to dryness. I love the scent and the texture of the new hydrating cleansing lotion and my all time favourite is the antioxidant facial oil omega 3-6-9 plus the age defiance collection.
What is your skincare routine?
Cleansing morning and evening, I cannot reiterate enough how important it is to remove dirt, makeup and impurities on a daily basis and to create a fresh, clean canvas for serums and moisturisers to then absorb.
I then apply the respective day or night serum and eye serum. At night I may blend the serum with the antioxidant facial oil omega 3-6-9 for additional hydration. I also use this product after I cleanse to remove eye makeup by placing a few drops on a damp cotton ball and gently wiping it across my eyes.
What's next for you and Mukti Organics?
We have a number of products to roll out over the next six to twelve months to complete the facial care ranges – exfoliator and masques as well as some new body care products.
