About Ayanda African Oils

Cultivating quality, community, and care, one drop at a time.

Our Background

In response to the growing demand for high-quality essential oils, a group of visionary farmers joined forces to create Ayanda African Oils. With a shared passion for sustainable farming practices and exceptional quality, our co-operative has blossomed into South Africa’s premier essential oil producer.

Our shareholders grow, process, and market a range of certified organic and conventional essential oils and hydrosols for the aromatherapy and cosmetic industry. We represent several Essential Oil Farmers in KZN and Mpumalanga, some of whom have been involved in the growing and distillation of essential oils since 2001.

Controlling the full process, from growing the crops to the distillation of the oil, on our many geographically separate farms, we’re able to offer our clients a reliable supply of consistent, quality oil and hydrosols from our modern distillation facilities.
