I recently received my Mukti order, which contained a whole
heap of samples to try! Mukti are great because they allow you to purchase
samples of most of their products so that you can get a feel of them and decide
whether or not you like them enough to buy the full sized product. I brought
samples of the tinted moisturiser, calendula crème, jojoba facial exfoliant,
kakadu and honey masque, botanique shampoo and conditioner, gentle foaming
cleanser, nourishing facial crème, hand and body lotion, and rosehip eye gel.
Pheww, so most of them ;)
I feel I have used the following products long enough to
give an honest review of them:
Mukti
tinted moisturiser:
Aim: use 365 days
even if the sun is hiding
Features: zinc oxide, green
tea, rosehip
The Mukti tinted
moisturiser with sunscreen is nano particle and chemical free and provides a
safe, effective and all-natural sunscreen solution that is readily absorbed and
NON-GREASY. Suitable for all skin types including normal/combination/oily/dry
and mature skin. Zinc oxide is the only active ingredient that filters both
aging UVA and burning UVB rays. In addition to SPF15 block-out properties,
Mukti's lightly tinted formulation strengthens and maintains healthy skin cell
growth.
Ingredients: Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Juice*; Zinc Oxide;
Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Extract*; Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii)*;
Glycerin (Vegetarian); Macadamia (Macadamia Ternifolia) & Jojoba
(Simmondsia Chinensis) Oils*, Cetearyl Glucoside; Rosehip (Rosa Canina) &
Calendula (Calendula Officinalis) Oils*; Vitamin E (Tocopherol); Essential Oils
of Mandarin (Citrus Madurensis), Ylang Ylang (Cananga Odorata), Patchouli
(Pogestemon Cablin), Tagetes (Tagetes Minuta)*; Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid &
Sorbic Acid; Tint - Mica; Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).
My thoughts: Love
love love love love it. I knew it would be a hit when I saw the key ingredients
of rosehip oil, green tea and zinc oxide. And it smells so delicious. I think
it sounds like musk or something, so sweet. When I opened the sample pot I was
worried, like with every other tinted moisturiser I have tried, that it would
look too dark on my skin (I have the palest skin and everything seems to look
orange or too brown on my skin), but for once, I was wrong. It goes on a tan
colour but rubs in completely, leaving the most subtle colour that it is almost
invisible. I love that it is SPF 15, as it is important to protect your skin
from the sun (after you have gotten your daily dose of Vitamin D).
Mukti Pink
Grapefruit Hand and Body Lotion:
Aim: non greasy,
non toxic all over hydration
Features: shea nut butter, cocoa
butter, coconut
Put
moisture back in after you wash your skin. A non-greasy moisturising treatment
to hydrate, nourish and protect. Suitable for the whole body. May be used on
children and babies.
Gluten Free/Vegan
Ingredients:
Certified Organic Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Juice; Certified
Organic Macadamia (Macadamia Ternifolia) Oil; Certified Organic Shea Butter
(Butyrospermum Parkii); Certified Organic Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Oil;
Cetearyl Glucoside (Vegetarian); Certified Organic Cocoa Butter (Theobromo
Cacao); Certified Organic Glycerin (Vegetarian); Sclerotium Gum; Certified

(Citrus Aurantium Dulcis), Mandarin (Citrus Nobilis), Tangerine (Citrus
Tangerine) & Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia); Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic
Acid & Sorbic Acid.
My
thoughts: You could really smell the citrus in this, and it
smelt delicious. I however found that although it was moisturising enough for a
summer day, it probably wouldn’t be enough for my lizard legs in the winter…so I
probably wouldn’t purchase this again. If you don’t need a heavy duty
moisturiser though, you would probably like this.
Mukti
Kakadu Plum and Honey Masque
Aim:
hydrating & cleansing to soften & nourish
Features: Kakadu plum, honey, avocado
The
Mukti kakadu plum and honey masque is suitable for normal/dry/dull and mature
skin types and is designed to rejuvenate, hydrate and balance the skin. This
unique formulation will also hydrate and revitalize the epidermis, calm
irritation due to dehydration, soothe the skin after environmental exposure,
revitalize the complexion and promote a youthful, glowing complexion. Gluten
free.
Ingredients:
Certified Organic Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Gel; Certified Organic
Glycerin (Vegetarian); Certified Organic Honey (Mel); Kakadu Plum (Terminalia
Ferdinandiana); Vitamin E (Tocopherol); Certified Organic Carrot Seed (Daucus
Carota) Oil; Certified Organic Calendula (Calendula Officinalis) &
Chamomile (Anthemis Nobilis) Extracts; Certified Organic Oils of Rosehip (Rosa
Canina), Borage (Borago Officinalis) & Avocado (Persea Gratissima);
Sclerotium Gum; Grapefruit Seed (Citrus Grandis) Extract; Certified Organic Roman
Chamomile Oil (Anthemis Nobilis).
My thoughts: I
am a big (BIG) fan of honey masks, so I was keen to give this mask a try. Each
of the ingredients were lovely and it didn’t look like it contained any
irritants. It is essential to me that a mask doesn’t dry my skin out or produce
pimples. I applied a thin layer as per instructions and it dried very quickly
(almost instantly), but I still left it on until 15 minutes were up. My face
felt nice and soft, cleansed, and moisturised after using this mask. When I
have the funds I will definitely be purchasing the full-size of this product!
