Why Certified Organic Matters

“Organic” isn’t regulated. Certified organic is—independently audited to the Australian Organic Standard so every certified input is plant-derived or allowable organic. Translation: integrity you can verify, not vibes.

Why Go Low-Tox

Daily exposure adds up. Some synthetics bio-accumulate or disrupt hormones; the planet pays for them too. Choosing certified-organic, low-tox formulas reduces your personal load and supports better manufacturing.

Founded in 2000 — Two Decades of Formulation

Mukti fuses native botanicals with proven actives (peptides, vitamins) to target inflammation, premature ageing, pigmentation, sensitivity and breakouts—intelligent skincare that supports long-term skin health.

“My mission is clean, effective products rooted in nature—so one day we won’t need certifications to know what’s safe.” – Mukti

Marigold Hydrating Crème — $84

If Queen of the Night is your plush nightcap, Marigold is the day nurse that never clocks off. Mukti’s best-seller is a buttery, botanical hug for skin that’s dry, cranky, or just plain tired. Calendula and Gotu Kola do the heavy lifting on calm and repair, while CoQ10, vitamin E, and Kakadu Plum sneak in elasticity and glow. The finish? Balanced, soothed, and soft enough to skip the filter.

Suitable for: Sensitive • Dry • Mature • Normal

Solar Veil Daily Moisturiser with Sunscreen — $99

The sunscreen you actually want to wear. Solar Veil is Mukti’s COSMOS-certified mineral SPF30 that hydrates, primes, and shields without the chalky, greasy regret. A 22% non-nano zinc formula slides on sheer and dewy, doubling as your make-up primer and daily armour. Antioxidant botanicals keep skin calm and balanced, while the reef-safe creds mean you’re protecting more than just your face.

Suitable for: All Skin Types, including sensitive and breakout-prone

2-in-1 Resurfacing Exfoliant — $76 (100ml)

Your skin’s reboot button, bottled. This dual-action exfoliant gives you instant polish and long-game glow — bamboo and jojoba microspheres buff the surface while a trio of native limes (caviar, desert, rainforest) quietly dissolve dead weight. Add in cucumber-lime freshness and you’ve got a once-or-twice-a-week ritual that leaves skin smoother, clearer, and lit-from-within.

Suitable for: All Skin Types (gentle enough for sensitive, effective enough for the glow-obsessed)

FAQs

Are essential oils contraindicated?
Some citrus oils are photosensitising in sunlight. Mukti uses low levels and steam-distilled where relevant. During pregnancy (esp. first trimester), check with your practitioner.

Are products suitable for babies and children?
Yes. The Body Care Collection is suitable, and Marigold Hydrating Crème is recommended for gentle hydration.

Are your products gluten free?
All raw and plant materials used are gluten free, but some are processed on equipment that also handles gluten-containing ingredients. Trace amounts may exist.

Are your products suitable for vegans?
Yes. All skincare, hair and body products are vegan and contain no animal by-products.

Do natural ingredients really work?
Yes — antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids and vitamins assist with skin repair, cellular regeneration and free radical defence. The body recognises them as compatible, so they’re absorbed instead of stored.

Do you test on animals?
No. Products are tested by Mukti, third-party labs, and trial groups. All supply chain partners are audited to ensure no animal testing.

Do you use palm oil in your products?
Mukti doesn’t use palm oil as a direct input. Where palm-derived fractions may appear in emulsifiers/surfactants, only RSPO-certified sustainable sources are used.

Does organic beauty mean 100% organic?
Not always. “Organic” is not regulated, but Mukti uses independent certification. Each certified organic ingredient meets the Australian Organic Standard.

How can I tell if a product is breaking me out?
Introduce one product at a time. Breakouts may show as small bumps or blackheads, sometimes as purging. Patch test before full use.

How long will it take to see a difference in my skin?
Some products deliver instant hydration and glow; others (like peptides) take 6–8 weeks, with deeper results visible in 3 months.

I have an allergy to synthetic fragrances and perfumes. Are these safe?
Yes. Mukti only uses minimal percentages of essential oils chosen for their therapeutic benefits. The Calming Collection is fragrance-free.

I have sensitive skin and sometimes suffer allergies. Are Mukti products suitable?
Yes, with care. Start with the Calming Collection, introduce products slowly, and patch test on the arm overnight.

Seasonal variation — why does my product look different?
Handcrafted, organic ingredients can vary seasonally. Colour or consistency shifts of up to 5% are normal.

What’s the difference between hormonal breakouts and other breakouts?

Hormonal: jawline, chin, often cystic and sore.
Digestive: cheeks/forehead, pustules or papules.
Congestion/blackheads: small bumps from dehydration, lack of exfoliation, or product misuse.

What preservatives do you use?
COSMOS-approved systems like dehydroacetic acid + benzyl alcohol. Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate may be present ≤0.015% via native extract suppliers.

What products should I start with?

Cleanser (double cleanse if you wear SPF/makeup)
Moisturiser (AM & PM)
SPF every morning
Exfoliant to support turnover

What’s special about your packaging?
Violet glass filters harmful light and helps maintain potency. Biophotonic jars must be finished within 6 months of opening.

What’s the expiry date?
Batch number and expiry are printed on packaging. Jars should be used within 6 months of opening. Store unopened products in a cool, dry place below 25°C.

Where are Mukti products manufactured?
All products are made in-house at Mukti’s GMP-approved facility in Mullumbimby, NSW, Australia.

Why should I avoid chemicals in skincare products?
Skin absorbs what you put on it. Small daily exposures can bio-accumulate in tissues, disrupting hormones and impacting health.

Why should I make the switch to natural skincare?
Chemical-heavy products aren’t sustainable and increase toxic load. Organic options lower risk and reduce environmental footprint.

Are any products contraindicated during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Mukti uses essential oils responsibly at low levels. Always check with your provider. Botanique Deodorant (clary sage) should be avoided.

Are essential oils safe in sunlight?
Mukti uses steam-distilled lime oil at very low levels (<0.2%). Phototoxicity risk is negligi
