How organic beauty brand Mukti is transforming the faces of Australian women and helping with acne and pigmentation

For over two decades, Australian label Mukti Organics has been at the forefront of the organic beauty movement, seamlessly combining the wisdom of nature with key active ingredients to create cutting-edge formulations.

I remember when I was first introduced to the brand and its signature black bottle packaging and learnt about what the “clean” beauty movement was all about.

As a beauty therapist with a background in complementary medicine Mukti was looking for an Australian brand that she could recommend to her clients that blended the benefits of both categories — kind to the skin and the planet, and scientifically formulated to create visible changes to the skin’s appearance.

This, along with her ever-growing curiosity into the world of clean beauty, led her to recognise that there were very limited (if any) options available in the Australian market that were truly clean. For Mukti, creating her own range was the natural next step.

“The journey of Mukti Organics has spanned 24 years and while it has been an incredible ride, it hasn’t been without its fair share of trials and tribulations. Looking back, I’d have to say these challenges only fueled my determination to create a skincare brand that echoed my values — kind to the skin and sustainable,” Mukti said.

“When I first began, natural and organic ingredients were limited so I had to learn how to create formulations myself. I felt like I was on my own navigating the intricate world of natural, clean formulations, learning from every single mistake.

“Our first Mukti Organics product was a lip balm, and the original iteration was a complete disaster! Armed with conviction and tenacity, I perfected the recipe and kept creating more products. The rest, as they say, is history.”

From humble beginnings of selling Mukti Organics at Eumundi Markets, to driving the east coast of Australia to attend tradeshows and acquire stockists, the brand continued to grow.

Today, Mukti Organics’ award-winning formulations are sold online, stocked in both domestic and international retailers, and used in professional treatments at world-class salons and spas.

Those that have tried the products for themselves have raved about the incredible transformations they have seen in their skin.

Customer Cassidy started using Mukti a year ago as a “last resort” when her skin was playing up.

“Growing up I had always had bad skin but when i was about 21 it suddenly broke out like nothing I had ever seen before. I had no idea why and I was so confused about what products to use and also what I was doing wrong,” she said.

“I hated myself because of my skin. I remember crying when I would go to go out because I would be too embarrassed about how bad my skin really was.”

She read positive reviews about Mukti’s products and decided to give them a try.

“It was probably not even a week later I started noticing a difference in my skin. The inflammation and redness had started to ease and I could actually go to work without wanting to pop a pimple,” she said.

“As months went on it started to get better and better so I didn’t even have to wear foundation anymore. I just wear a mineral powder. I cannot believe it considering I thought my skin would be like this forever.

“I use a number of your products such as the balancing cleanser, moisturiser and toner, eye gel, face mask, resurfacing exfoliant and tinted moisturiser but my all time favourite which i think helped my skin the most is the charcoal sponge!”
