100% Organic Batana Oil

Batana oil is a type of oil that is extracted from the fruit of the American Oil Palm Tree (Elaeis Oleifera). The tree is commonly found in tropical regions of Central and South America. Batana oil is produced by the indigenous people of La Moskitia, Honduras, known as the Miskitos.

Batana oil has many benefits for hair and skin, such as:
- Hydrating and moisturizing dry and brittle hair and skin, thanks to its rich content of essential fatty acids, especially oleic acid and linoleic acid.
- Stimulating hair growth and preventing hair loss, by nourishing the scalp and follicles with vitamins and antioxidants.
- Repairing damaged hair and split ends, by restoring the natural elasticity and strength of the hair shaft3.
- Acting as a natural dye, by gradually turning white or gray hairs to a brownish color with repeated applications3.
- Protecting the skin from UV rays and environmental pollution, by providing antioxidant activity with tocopherols and tocotrienols, which are forms of vitamin E.
- Fading scars and stretch marks, by promoting tissue repair and regeneration with fatty acids.
- Exfoliating the skin, by removing dead skin cells and impurities with its mild cleansing properties.

Batana oil can be used in various ways in your hair and skin care routine, such as:
- As a pre-shampoo treatment, by applying a generous amount of batana oil to your scalp and hair, massaging gently, and leaving it for 30 minutes or overnight before washing it out with shampoo.
- As a leave-in conditioner, by applying a few drops of batana oil to your damp or dry hair, focusing on the ends, and styling as usual.
- As a scalp massage oil, by warming up some batana oil in your palms and rubbing it into your scalp with circular motions, stimulating blood circulation and hair growth.
- As a facial moisturizer, by applying a few drops of batana oil to your clean face and neck, gently massaging it into your skin until absorbed.
- As a body moisturizer, by applying batana oil to your damp or dry skin after showering or bathing, locking in moisture and softening your skin.
- As a scar or stretch mark treatment, by applying batana oil to the affected areas twice a day, massaging it well until absorbed.

Batana oil has a shelf life of about 12 to 18 months, depending on how it is stored and used. To extend its shelf life and preserve its quality, you should store in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from heat, light, and moisture. You should also keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use, and avoid contaminating the oil with water or other substances.

Batana oil is generally safe and suitable for all hair and skin types, as it is a natural and organic product that does not contain any additives, preservatives, or chemicals. However, some people may have allergic reactions or sensitivities to batana oil or any of its components. Therefore, it is advisable to do a patch test before using it on your hair or skin, by applying a small amount of the oil on a discreet area of your skin and waiting for 24 hours to see if any adverse reactions occur. If you experience any signs of irritation, inflammation, itching, or rash, you should discontinue using it immediately and consult your doctor.

Batana oil has many other uses besides hair and skin care, such as:
- As a massage oil, by mixing batana oil with other carrier oils or essential oils of your choice, and applying it to your body with gentle strokes, relaxing your muscles and joints.
- As a candle or soap making ingredient, by adding batana oil to your wax or soap base, and creating your own natural and aromatic candles or soaps.
