About Us

Vita Oleum, translating to ‘life oil’ in Latin, embodies the essence of our mission – to bring the life-enhancing benefits of essential oils to you. Our journey began when our founder, Carllo Swanepoel, saw a need for a reliable supplier of Essential & Carrier Oils for his wife Yolandi’s Massage Academy. From this need, Vita Oleum was born amidst the pandemic of 2020, and we’ve been committed to providing pure, natural, and undiluted essential oils ever since.

Our Commitment to Quality

We take pride in the purity of our oils. Each of our essential oils is extracted from a single botanical source and remains unadulterated and undiluted. This ensures that you experience the natural aroma and beneficial compounds of the plant in its purest form. While our range primarily includes conventional oils, we can also supply organic oils upon request.

Standardized Oils

We understand the importance of consistency in both aroma and therapeutic properties. That’s why some of our oils are standardized, as indicated on our packaging. These oils undergo a process to ensure a consistent chemical composition, providing you with a reliable product from batch to batch.

Supporting Local Producers

At Vita Oleum, we believe in the power of community. We’re proud to support over 40 local farmers who supply us with locally produced oils. For oils not available locally, we source from reputable importers. We’re a proudly South African company, committed to supporting local businesses.
