INCI: Elaeis oleifera fruit oil

Batana Butter is a rare, nutrient-rich butter extracted from the fruit of the Elaeis oleifera palm, traditionally used in Central America. This butter is raw and unrefined, which preserves its naturally earthy aroma, golden-brown colour, and full-bodied texture. It is prized in hair and skin care for its deeply conditioning feel and rich fatty acid profile.

This product is certified: Vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.

Q: Why does batana butter have a strong natural scent?
A: Batana butter is raw and unrefined, so it keeps its naturally earthy aroma from the original fruit oil.

Q: Will it melt in warm weather?
A: Yes, like many natural butters it can soften or melt with heat and firm up again when cooler.

Q: Can I use it on fine hair?
A: It can be used, but start with a very small amount and focus on mid-lengths and ends to avoid weighing hair down.
