Highland Essential Oils

Highland Essential Oils Higland Essential Oils produce a range of essential oils and culinary herb oils.

Highland Essential Oils was founded in 1992 by Flip and Riana Minnaar on their family farm Vlakbult in the district Clocolan for the production of 100% pure, organic and natural oils. The farm Vlakbult is situated in the Highlands area of the Eastern Free State, a province of South Africa. This agriculturally rich area, with stable rainfall allows for the sustainable farming of crops for the production of our wide range of essential oils, culinary herb oils and products derived from these raw materials. Highland Essential Oils is a family run business which guarantees personal customer care and direct interaction with our growing national and international customer base. Highland Essential Oils is invested in creating a sustainable future in partnership with nature and the local community through good farming practices, job creation and the development of an alternative to conventional tourism in the area through essential oil and other related workshops.

Lavender (Lavandula spp.) is one of the world’s most loved essential oils—known for its soft floral aroma, gentle nature, and wide range of everyday uses. Traditionally used to calm the mind and body, lavender is valued for its balancing, relaxing, and sedative properties, making it a popular choice for stress, tension, and restful sleep routines. It’s also respected for being anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial/antiseptic, and antioxidant, which is why it’s often used in skin and self-care blends.

Many people also turn to lavender for emotional wellbeing thanks to its calming, anxiolytic, and mood-supporting effects, while its gentle support may extend to areas like lowering stress-related blood pressure and soothing everyday discomfort.

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a fragrant Mediterranean herb loved for its bold, peppery flavour and its long history in traditional wellness. Beyond the kitchen, oregano is naturally rich in aromatic compounds like carvacrol and thymol, which help explain why it’s often studied for antimicrobial support (including antifungal activity), anti-inflammatory effects, and strong antioxidant potential.

Oregano has also been explored for its role in digestive comfort, insect-repelling/insecticidal properties, and emerging areas like antiviral, neuroprotective, and blood-sugar (antidiabetic) support—though these benefits can depend on the form and dose, and it’s best viewed as a supportive herb rather than a standalone treatment.
