What is Batana Oil?

Raw batana oil is a rich and nutrient-dense oil derived from the nuts of the American oil palm, predominantly found in Central America. Indigenous populations have treasured this oil for centuries, utilizing it for its remarkable properties supporting skin and hair health. Extracting raw batana oil is traditional and labor-intensive, involving the hand-harvesting of nuts, which are then processed to preserve their natural benefits.

One of the standout features of raw batana oil is its impressive composition. It is packed with essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins A and E, and other nutrients that promote hydration and skin and hair rejuvenation. The oil nourishes, enhances moisture retention, and protects against environmental stressors.
