Mukti Botanicals' Company Profile

Mukti (mooktee) Lloyd, Managing Director and Founder of Mukti Botanicals, has a Diploma of Applied Science in remedial therapies, a Diploma of Beauty Therapy, Cosmetology and Makeup Artistry, a Diploma in Aromatherapy and is currently completing a Bachelor of Science. With first hand experience as a Natural Therapist in the Beauty and Hairdressing Industry, the development of the range came about as a response to what was currently available in the market place.

The further Mukti researched ‘pure’ and ‘natural’ products, the more disillusioned she became. Upon closer inspection of the ingredients listed, was a realisation that, as a consumer, she needed to be armed with a chemical dictionary to decipher exactly what the products contained. She went on to discover that most products stating they were pure/natural were in fact not. The percentage of the ingredients being emphasised as a selling point were usually less than 1% or non-existent, and that the remaining raw ingredients were obliterated by chemical processing; the majority of which were from non-renewable resources.
