About Big5Oils

At Big5Oils, we believe nature’s most powerful solutions are often the most time-tested. Inspired by Africa’s iconic Big Five and the extraordinary plants that thrive alongside them, we are dedicated to celebrating, sourcing, and sharing some of the world’s most nutrient-dense botanical oils.

Our focus is on five exceptional oils—Marula, Mongongo, Hemp Seed, Kalahari Melon Seed and Baobab—each prized for its unique benefits, cultural heritage, and versatility. These oils have been used for generations for skin care, hair health, wellness and everyday living, long before they became global favorites.

Our Philosophy

Big5Oils is built on three core principles:

Purity

We value oils that are minimally processed, cold-pressed where possible, and respected from seed to bottle—so their natural integrity remains intact.

Education

We don’t just sell oils; we tell their stories. From traditional uses and scientific research to modern DIY applications, we empower you with knowledge so you can use each oil with confidence.

Sustainability & Respect

Our work honors the ecosystems and communities connected to these plants. We support responsible sourcing practices that respect biodiversity, wildlife, and the people who have cultivated this wisdom for centuries.

More Than Oils

Big5Oils is a resource, a guide, and a celebration of natural excellence. Whether you’re blending oils for skincare, exploring plant-based wellness, or simply curious about nature’s intelligence, we’re here to help you connect more deeply with what you use every day.

Just like the Big Five animals symbolise strength, resilience and balance, the Big Five oils represent nature at its most powerful—pure, purposeful and enduring.
