Every once in a while, I discover a brand that’s been around for a long time but is new to me, and I wonder, why has it taken me so long to find you? That is the case with Mukti Organics, a fresh, gorgeous and super-conscious brand from Australia that’s been around for over 20 years. Founded by Mukti, an eco-activist, entrepreneur, formulator, author and student of integrative medicine, botany and indigenous cultures who has used her breadth of knowledge to inform the Mukti Organics collection that’s evolved over the last two decades into the sophisticated, high-potency certified COSMOS-ORGANIC range it is today.
An ambitious advocate for organic plant-based beauty, Mukti published her book, Truth in Beauty, in 2018 that takes a thorough look at ingredients in skincare and explains why organic, plant-based formulas are extremely effective and how to leverage targeted routines to address specific skin conditions.
As an entrepreneur, Mukti also oversees a day spa in Australia where she gets to put Mukti to the test through expert treatments for face and body. Mukti was an early adopter of green chemistry, being the very first to formulate skincare leveraging native Australian cellular extracts, a process that maintains the plants molecular structure as it was in nature.
If you’re like me, you’ll have a hard time determining which product in our April Discovery is your Hero product and which is your Sidekick. Mukti Organics’ 2-in-1 Resurfacing Exfoliant, technically our Sidekick, brings together cellular extracts of 3 limes – caviar lime, desert lime and rainforest lime – combined with jojoba esters and bamboo fibers for the perfect skin polishing scrub. Infused with organic aloe, cucumber, milk vetch, alfalfa, coQ10 and more, this emerald green smoothie for the skin is genuine green beauty perfection.
I paired it with Mukti’s latest launch and my Hero product, Hyaluronic Marine Serum, a low molecular weight, oil-free hyaluronic hydrator that’s boosted with fucoidan cellular extract from wakame seaweed, elderflower and blue tansy. The result is a skin-plumping, barrier strengthening hydrating Hero product that leaves my skin feeling and looking calm, cool and healthy.
This month, I’ve paired my Mukti Organics Hero product + Sidekick with another product I love, Orange Blossom Balancing Mist, a refreshing complement to the crisp cucumber in the Resurfacing Exfoliant along with two previous discoveries from RANAVAT and Free + True Skincare. Feel free to go wild with your own regimen. From gentle exfoliation to deep hydration, this ritual is packed with everything you need to get that only-in-Australia glow.
Here’s just one way to play:
Lather
Lather a dime-size amount of RANAVAT’s Luminous Ceremony Cream Cleanser into damp skin and gently massage across the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin to remove makeup and buildup. Splash warm water to rinse skin clean.
Polish
Polish your skin while it’s still damp with Mukti Organics 2-in-1 Resurfacing Exfoliant. Apply a thin layer to face, neck, and décolleté with your fingertips. Leave on for just a few minutes while the Australian flora-derived AHA’s do their thing. Add a splash of water to your hands and massage the jojoba beads and soft bamboo fibers under the fingertips in circular motions, taking your time to polish every angle of the face, neck and chest. Rinse and pat dry.
Balance
Balance your complexion with Mukti Organics Orange Blossom Balancing Mist. Close your eyes and apply a fine spritz to your face. Deep breaths here.
Hydrate
Hydrate by pressing 2-3 pumps of Mukti Organics Hyaluronic Marine Serum into face, neck and décolleté. Allow the serum to soak in as you apply a little everywhere you experience dryness!
Protect
Protect your freshly polished skin with a couple pumps of Free + True Mama Pacha packed with arctic peptides, beta glucans and plant lipids that coupled with Mukti Hyaluronic Marine Serum are a sure-fire way to get skin to look and feel velvety soft and moisturized throughout the day.
