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.

Gentle Hydrosols for Kids & Pets

When it comes to babies, children, and pets, a gentler approach is always best. Hydrosols are often preferred as a milder alternative to essential oils, making them a lovely option for families looking for something softer and more delicate.

They can be used as part of a calm, comforting daily routine and are loved for their light, natural aroma. For households with little ones and furry friends, hydrosols offer a simple way to enjoy botanical benefits in a gentler form.

Because every child and pet is different, it’s always important to use products with care and choose what is best suited to their needs.

What Is a Hydrosol?

Hydrosols, also known as floral waters or plant waters, are created during the distillation process of plants. They contain the water-soluble benefits of the plant, along with tiny trace amounts of essential oil.

This makes hydrosols much gentler than essential oils, while still offering beautiful natural benefits for wellness, skincare, and everyday use.

They are loved for being aromatic, versatile, soothing, and easy to tolerate — making them a wonderful addition to your daily self-care routine.

🌿 Use it for hay fever & allergy comfort with Lavender (Lavandula spp.) 🌿

Lavender’s gentle, calming aroma may help soothe seasonal discomfort and support easier breathing. Rub 1 drop between your palms and inhale deeply, or diffuse a few drops in the room to create a fresher, more comfortable space. Patch-test first, and discontinue if it irritates your airways.

🌿 Use it to stay calm during a nosebleed with Lavender (Lavandula spp.) 🌿

Lavender won’t “stop” a nosebleed, but its soothing aroma can help you stay relaxed while you do proper first aid. For a nosebleed: sit upright, lean slightly forward, and pinch the soft part of the nose for 10 minutes. A cold compress on the bridge of the nose can help too. Avoid putting essential oil inside the nose or on tissues you’re breathing through. If bleeding doesn’t stop after 20 minutes, is heavy, or happens often, get medical advice.

🌿 Use it to help with motion sickness with Lavender (Lavandula spp.) 🌿

Lavender’s calming aroma can help settle a queasy stomach and ease that “travel nausea” feeling. Try inhaling from a tissue, diffuser, or your palms (rub 1 drop between hands and breathe in), or apply well-diluted to the wrists/behind the ears. Avoid taking essential oils orally unless a qualified professional specifically advises it.

We are hard at work making compost from the distilled crops.

04/03/2026

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.
