Vinnies Oil Australia

Our Products & Philosophy

Vinnies Oil Australia is part of the global Vinnies Oil family, bringing a premium Swedish made and developed, natural wood protection system suitable to Australian conditions. Our products are a carefully developed range of toxin-free, VOC-free hardwax oils made from high-quality cold-pressed, polymerising oils.

These oils contain naturally small molecules that penetrate deep into timber, working from within rather than just coating the surface. Combined with high-purity hard waxes—free from paraffins and unwanted additives—they form a complete system that protects timber against moisture, wear, and everyday use.

Together, they function much like a living tree’s own defence system—resin and bark—protecting from the inside out.

Inspired by Nature

At Vinnies Oil Australia, we look to nature as the ultimate engineer.

A tree has survived and adapted for hundreds of years using a simple but powerful system:

• Resin penetrates and strengthens from within

• Bark protects externally from the elements

This natural “2K system” works without synthetic chemicals, toxins, or shortcuts. Nature has already solved the problem—we’re simply learning from it.

Modern materials like plastics and conventional wood treatments often prioritise durability at the cost of health and environmental impact. Over time, we’ve seen the consequences—microplastics, toxicity, and long-term harm.

We believe timber protection shouldn’t come with those trade-offs.

Our Natural 2K System

While we can’t replicate the living cells of a tree, we can follow its logic.

Our system works in two complementary stages:

• UPO (Ultra Penetrating Oil) acts like the tree’s resin—deeply penetrating, hardening within the fibres, while remaining flexible so it won’t crack as timber moves.

• Vinnies Hard Wax or Eternal Seal acts as the outer shield—protecting against moisture, dirt, and wear.

The result is a long-lasting, natural finish that enhances timber rather than masking it—durable, breathable, and beautifully authentic.

The Australian Story

Vinnies Oil Australia began with two best mates who shared a deep respect for timber and a passion for craftsmanship. Working with wood day in and day out, they saw the same problem time and time again—products that either:

• performed well but were full of harsh chemicals, or

• were “natural” but didn’t hold up in real-world conditions.

In Australia, where timber faces everything from harsh UV to humidity and heavy use, this gap was even more obvious. When they discovered Vinnies Oil, it immediately clicked.

The philosophy—nature-first, toxin-free, high-performance—aligned perfectly with their own values. It wasn’t just another product; it was a system that respected timber the way they did.

They knew it belonged here.

So they brought Vinnies Oil to Australia—adopting it as a suitable product ready for local conditions, local timber species, and the way Australians live and work with wood.

The Global Origins

The story of Vinnies Oil began in Sweden, where timber craftsmanship runs deep—from Viking ships to modern woodworking traditions.

In 2021, four master woodworkers set out to create something better. They were frustrated with the market:

• Products were either too toxic

• Or lacked the durability they demanded in their own work

They wanted a solution that was:

• Completely toxin-free

• Long-lasting

• Beautiful and natural in appearance

• Strong enough to handle real-world use

So they tested relentlessly—pushing their formulas beyond standard expectations. From heavy wear tests to extreme staining trials with wine and coffee, nothing was left to chance.

The result was Vinnies Oil—a natural, high-performance wood protection system inspired entirely by how trees protect themselves.

Our Commitment

Wood is a living, breathing material. It plays a vital role in our homes, our work, and our environment.

We believe the way we protect it should reflect that.

Vinnies Oil Australia is committed to:

• Toxin-free living

• Sustainable, nature-inspired solutions

• Long-lasting timber protection

• Preserving the natural beauty of wood

Because when you understand how nature protects timber—  you realise it’s already done it the best way possible.
