Our batana oil is quite unique in that unlike batana extracted in the traditional way, our creamy yellow oil has never been subjected to extremely high temperatures for extended periods of time which destroys the most useful bio-actives. Another benefit of our cold pressing technique for batana oil is it’s lack of the smoky odor commonly associated with traditionally extracted oil.

INCI: Elaesis Oleifera Kernel Oil. Batana oil has a long tradition of use by the Miskito people of Honduras. The oil is extracted from the nut of a palm native to the Americas and is completely different from the better known African (Red) palm. Batana oil has the reputation for promoting thick hair growth and is effective in repairing damaged hair.
