Where it all started...
Welcome to Vrije Skoonheid, where beauty and freedom come together in harmony with nature.
Founded in the heart of Gauteng, South Africa, our journey began when two lifelong friends, driven by a shared passion for marketing, PR, and brand architecture, decided to create something meaningful. With our love for nature, horses, and holistic health, we envisioned a brand that not only celebrates natural beauty but also empowers women to embrace their individuality with absolute freedom.
What started as a small side project quickly grew into a purposeful endeavour. Through our exploration of South Africa's breath-taking landscapes, we were inspired by the natural remedies found in our rich environment. Our discovery of the extraordinary properties of castor oil became a cornerstone of our product range, as we harness the best of nature to craft beauty solutions that reflect authenticity, freedom, and care.
At Vrije Skoonheid, we believe in the power of natural ingredients and ethical practices, and our mission is to help women radiate confidence by offering products that nourish, rejuvenate, and celebrate their unique beauty—from the inside out.
The Benefits and Uses of Hexane-Free, Cold-Pressed Castor Oil
Hexane-free, cold-pressed castor oil is a natural product derived from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). This oil is extracted without the use of hexane, a chemical solvent, ensuring a purer and safer product. The cold-pressing method involves mechanically pressing the seeds without applying heat, which helps retain the oil’s beneficial properties. Castor oil has been used for centuries in various cultures for its medicinal and therapeutic properties. The ancient Egyptians used it for eye irritations and as a powerful natural skin care remedy. In India, it has deep roots in Ayurvedic medicine, where it is valued for its skin-healing and digestive-soothing properties.
PROMOTES HAIR GROWTH
Hexane-free, cold-pressed castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, which helps improve blood circulation to the scalp. This nourishes hair follicles and promotes healthier, thicker hair growth.
STRENGTHENS HAIR
The nutrients in castor oil strengthen hair follicles, reducing hair loss and breakage. This leads to stronger, more resilient hair over time.
MOISTURIZES AND CONDITIONS
Castor oil is an excellent natural moisturizer. Its thick consistency helps lock in moisture, preventing dryness and frizz, making hair more manageable and less prone to split ends.
ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES
The oil has natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties, which can help combat scalp infections like dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. A healthy scalp environment is crucial for optimal hair growth.
FREE FROM HARMFUL CHEMICALS
Being hexane-free means that the oil is not processed with hexane, a chemical solvent that can leave residues. This makes it a safer and more natural option for hair care.
PROMOTES SHINE AND LUSTER
Regular use of castor oil can add a natural shine and lustre to your hair, making it look healthier and more vibrant.
What our clients have to say about our products
"I’ve been using cold-pressed castor oil for a few months now, and the results are incredible! My hair has never felt so healthy and strong. The natural shine and smooth texture are noticeable, and I’ve also seen significant growth in areas where my hair was thinning. I love how pure and nourishing this oil is - truly a must-have in my beauty routine!"
Santie Ehlers
"Cold-pressed castor oil has been a game-changer for my skin. I suffer from dry patches, especially in the winter, and nothing seemed to help until I started using this oil. It's so rich and moisturizing, yet light enough to absorb quickly. My skin feels softer, looks more radiant, and I even use it to soothe irritation. I can’t recommend it enough!"
Hannah ONeill
"I was sceptical at first, but after using cold-pressed castor oil on my eyelashes and eyebrows, I am amazed by the difference! They’ve grown thicker and fuller, and I feel so much more confident without needing makeup all the time. It’s such a simple, natural solution that delivers real results - definitely worth it!"
